Find the two numbers. Algebra -> Customizable Word Problem Solvers -> Numbers -> SOLUTION: The difference of two positive numbers is 8. The larger is twice the smaller decreased by 7.
The angles opposite equal sides are also equal. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180. So 2x + 27 + 2x + 27 + 3x + 28 = 180.
7x + 82 = 180
7x = 98
x = 14
Now plug x into each angle to find their measures.
The surface area<span> of a right </span>prism<span> can be calculated using the following formula: SA 5 2B 1 hP, where B is the </span>area<span> of the base, h is the height of the </span>prism<span>, and P is the perimeter of the base. The </span>lateral area<span> of a figure is the </span>area<span> of the non-base faces only.</span>
