Triangle A:
y = 57.5°
x = 57.5°
Triangle B:
y = 5
x = 6.5
Triangle C:
... I apologize but I do not know what Triangle C is. Sorry!!
Triangle D:
z = 30°
x = 90°
(x+20) = 110°
SORRY THAT TOOK SO LONG--
Given a quadratic equation
, we define the discriminant as

The number of real solutions of the equation depend on the sign of
:
- If
the equation has two solutions - If
the equation has one double solution - If
the equation has no real solutions
In this case, we have

And so this equation has no real solutions.
Answer:
I'll setup the problem and you can do the calculations
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length of straw - L
Length of piece 1 - x
Length of piece 2 - y
Length of piece 3 - z
What's given and the answer to (i)
y = x - 3
z = 2x
(ii) L = x + y + z = x + x - 3 + 2x
L = 4x-3
(iii) x = (21+3)/4 = 24/4
leaving you to calculate x
then substitute x into expressions for y & z above and you will have the answer
