Answer:

B. 136

Step-by-step explanation:

∆ABC is similar to ∆EDC, therefore the ratio of their corresponding side lengths would be the same.

Thus:

AC/EC = AB/ED

(144 - x)/x = 51/3

(144 - x)/x = 17/1

Cross multiply

(144 - x)*1 = 17*x

144 - x = 17x

144 - x + x = 17x + x

144 = 18x

Divide both sides by 18

144/18 = 18x/18

8 = x

x = 8

✔️AC = 144 - x

Plug in the value of x

AC = 144 - 8

AC = 136

The smallest angle in a triangle measures 9 degrees less than the middle angle. The largest angle is 26 degrees more than 3 time

xeze [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A+B+C = 180°

A ≤ B ≤ C

B = A+9

C = 3A+26

A+B+C = A + (A+9) + (3A+26) = 5A + 35° = 180°

5A = 145°

A = 29°

B = A+9 = 38°

C = 3A+26 = 113°
