Answer:

P=40

a + b + x = P

a = 3x    

b = x + 5

substitute for b & y

3x + (x+5) + x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

longest section 1 = a

mid length section 2 = b

shortest section 3 = x

P=40

a + b + x = P

a = 3x    

b = x + 5

substitute for b & y

3x + (x+5) + x = 40

5x + 5 = 40

5x = 35

x = 7

b = 12

a = 21

A straight angle measures 180 degrees.

Angle x and the 150-degree angle form a straight angle.

x + 150 = 180

x = 30

Angle z and the 100-degree angle form a straight angle.

z + 100 = 180

z = 80

Now you know the measures of two angles of the three angles of the triangle. The sum of the measures of the angle of a triangle equals 180 degrees.

x + y + z = 180

30 + y + 80 = 180

y + 110 = 180

y = 70

Answer: x = 30; y = 70; z = 80
