Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume the triangles are similar and are isosceles, and that BK is an altitude, then we can work the problem.

Triangle OKN will be similar to triangle BKA, so ...

AN : AK = BO : BK = 1 : 3

Then ...

AN : AK : KC = 1 : 3 : 3

In terms of ratio units, ...

AN = 1

AC = 3+3 = 6

NC = 6-1 = 5

This means NC : AC = 5 : 6. The triangle perimeters will have the same ratio.

perimeter(NMC) = 5/6·perimeter(ABC) = 5/6·96

perimeter(NMC) = 80

Polygon with three interior angles whose sum 180 degrees

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has three vertexes, and therefore three interior angles. Those angles also sum to 180 degrees because of the formula (n-2)*180, where n is the number of sides that a polygon has. Plugging in 3, you get $1\cdot 180$ , or just 180 degrees. Hope this helps!
