Answer:

∠ I = 39°, ∠ J = 51°, ∠ K = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Sum the3 angles and equate to 180

3x + 21 + 5x + 21 + 90 = 180, that is

8x + 132 = 180 ( subtract 132 from both sides )

8x = 48 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 6

Then

∠ I = 3x + 21 = 3(6) + 21 = 18 + 21 = 39°

∠ J = 5x + 21 = 5(6) + 21 = 30 + 21 = 51°

∠ K = 90°

Triangle ABC has sides with lengths of 11, 18, and 8 units. Determine whether this triangle is a right triangle.

Answer:

Not a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

If this triangle is a right triangle, then the Pythagorean theorem would work on it. According to the Pythagorean theorem, $a^2+b^2=c^2$ , so c would always be greater than a or b. In this scenario, the greatest number here is 18, so c = 18. Since a or b don't matter if given both legs, we have the following equation that may or may not be equal: $8^2+11^2=18^2$ . We know 8 squared is 64, and 11 squared is 121, and 18 squared is 324. This means that $64+121=324$ according to the Pythagorean theorem, and since 64 + 121 = 185, and 185 does not equal 324, the Pythagorean theorem does not work and the triangle is not a right triangle.
