Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3><u>Given that:</u></h3>Exterior angle of L = 5x + 12
M = 3x - 2
N = 50
<h3><u>Statement:</u></h3>- Exterior angle is equal to the sum of non-adjacent interior angles.
So, the exterior angle that is adjacent to L is equal to the sum of non-adjacent sides (M and N) of the triangle.
Here,
Exterior angle of L = M + N
5x + 12 = 3x - 2 + 50
5x + 12 = 3x + 48
Subtract 12 to both sides
5x = 3x + 48 - 12
5x - 3x = 36
2x = 36
Divide 2 to both sides
x = 18
So,
<h3><u>Measure of angle M:</u></h3>= 3x - 2
= 3 (18) - 2
= 54 - 2
= 52°
Now,
<h3><u>Measure of angle L:</u></h3><u>We know that,</u>
- Sum of all the interior angles of triangle is 180 degrees.
L + M + N = 180°
L + 52 + 50 = 180
L + 102 = 180
Subtract 102 to both sides
L = 180 - 102
L = 78°
Answer:
- 914.4 mm
- 0.0479594 km
Step-by-step explanation:
For units conversion, use a conversion factor ratio with the units you do want in the numerator and the units you don't want in the denominator. The numbers in the numerator and denominator give the ratio a value of 1: the numerator is equal to the denominator--just in different units.

1. For feet to mm, you need a couple of additional conversion factors besides the ones shown:
1 foot = 12 in
1 cm = 10 mm
So, the conversion is ...
__
2. The additional factor you need for this problem is ...
1 mile = 5280 feet
So, the conversion is ...
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
You can use Google to do units conversion by typing "3 feet to mm" or "157 feet to km". However, the conversion factor for the latter will be more exact than the one given in this problem. Hence the Google answer to the second question will not be applicable here.
