Find the values of x, y, and z in the triangle to the right

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 36 , y = 64 , z = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Exterior angle equals the sum of opposite interior angle.

3x +  8 = x +  z

3x - x - z = -8

2x  -  z = -8   ------------ (I)

z + 3x - 8 = 180 {linear pair}

3x + z = 180 + 8

3x + z = 188 --------------(II)

Add (I) and (II) and z will be eliminated and we can find the value of 'x'

(I)            2x - z = -8

(II)          <u> 3x + z = 188</u>   {Now add}

               5x      = 180

x = 180/5

x = 36

Plugin x = 36 in equation (II)

     3*36 +z = 188

        108 + z = 188

                z = 188- 108

z = 80

x + y + z = 180 ----------------(III)  {angle sum property of triangle}

36 + 80 +y = 180

       116 + y = 180

               y = 180 - 116

y = 64

The sides of a triangle are 1, x, and x2. what are possible values of x?
Whitepunk [10]
The sides of the triangle are given as 1, x, and x².

The principle of triangle inequality requires that the sum of the lengths of any two sides should be equal to, or greater than the third side.

Consider 3 cases
Case (a):  x < 1,
      Then in decreasing size, the lengths are 1, x, and x².
      We require that x² + x ≥ 1
      Solve x² + x - 1 = 
      x = 0.5[-1 +/- √(1+4)] = 0.618 or -1.618.
      Reject the negative length.
     Therefore, the lengths are 0.382, 0.618 and 1.

Case (b): x = 1
   This creates an equilateral triangle with equal sides
    The sides are 1, 1 and 1.

Case (c): x>1
  In increasing order, the lengths are 1, x, and x².
  We require that x + 1 ≥ x²
  Solve x² - x - 1 = 0
  x = 0.5[1 +/- √(1+4)] = 1.6118 or -0.618
  Reject the negative answr.
 The lengths are 1, 1.618 and 2.618.

Answer:
The possible lengths of the sides are
(a) 0.382, 0.618 and 1
(b) 1, 1 and 1.
(c) 2.618, 1.618 and 1.
