Answer:
∠RST = 120°
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the positions of the lines and angles will match the attached figure. The angle addition theorem gives a relation that can be solved for x, then for the value of angle RST.
∠RSU +∠UST = ∠RST
__
78° + (3x -12)° = (6x +12)° . . . . . substitute given values into the above
54 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 3x+12
108 = 6x . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2
120° = (6x +12)° = ∠RST . . . . add 12, show units
The measure of angle RST is 120 degrees.

Note that we don't actually need to know the value of x (18) in this problem. We only need to know the value of 6x.
Answer:
a) Smallest line that can be made with each color = 300 cm
b) Total strips should be used = 47 strips
c) Total strips used of blue color = 20
Total strips used of green color = 15
Total strips used of red color = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given - To decorate a wall, there are 15 cm blue, 20 cm green, and 25 cm red strips of paper. On the wall you want to build three lines of the same size, one of each color and without cutting any strip.
To find - a) How long is the smallest line that can be made with each color?
b) How many strips should be used?
c) How many of each color?
Proof -
a)
For the smallest line that can be made with each color, we just have to find the lcm (least common multiple) of the 3 srtips.
Firstly,
Decompose the 3 strips to its prime factors , we get
15 = 3×5
20 = 2²×5
25 = 5²
So,
The Lcm(15, 20, 25) = 3×2²×5² = 3×4×25 = 300
∴ we get
Smallest line that can be made with each color = 300 cm
b)
Now,
Total strips used = 300 cm
Strips used by 15 cm blue = = 20 strips
Strips used by 20 cm green = = 15 strips
Strips used by 25 cm red = = 12 strips
So,
Total strips should be used = 20 + 15 + 12 = 47 strips
c)
Total strips used of blue color = 20
Total strips used of green color = 15
Total strips used of red color = 12
