X * 3 = 270
Solving for x, x = 90
So one side is 90m and the other is 3m.
Now find entire perimeter 90+90+3+3=180+6=186m
Since y + x = 3, then we could say one of them equals 2 while the other is 1. y - x = 1, then we can say 3 - 1 = 2, so y would be 2 and x would be 1
Answer:
for c x = -3

Answers:</h3>
angle FHG = 42 degrees
angle GHI = 100 degrees
=========================================================
Explanation:
FHI is the largest angle. It is split into two pieces FHG and GHI which have measures of (3x+6) and (9x-8) degrees respectively.
Put another way, those two smaller angles (FHG and GHI) combine to form the larger angle (FHI)
This is the angle addition postulate.
------------------
(angle FHG) + (angle GHI) = angle FHI
(3x+6) + (9x-8) = 142
3x+6+9x-8 = 142
(3x+9x) + (6-8) = 142
12x - 2 = 142
12x-2+2 = 142+2 ... adding 2 to both sides
12x = 144
12x/12 = 144/12 .... dividing both sides by 12
x = 12
------------------
Use that x value to find the angles we're after
angle FHG = 3x+6 = 3*12+6 = 36+6 = 42
angle GHI = 9x-8 = 9*12-8 = 108-8 = 100
Note how
(angle FHG) + (angle GHI) = 42 + 100 = 142
which is the measure of angle FHI. This confirms the answers.
