A triangle has angle measures that are related as follows: • The largest angle is eight times the smallest angle.

• The middle angle is triple the smallest angle..

a) write an equation to model the relationship

b) solve the equation and then determine the measure of each angle. Sketch the triangle and label the angle measures.

  a) a +8a +3a = 180°

  b) 15°, 45°, 120°

  c) see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' represent the measure of the smallest angle. The largest angle is 8a, and the middle angle is 3a. The sum of angles, as always, is 180°.

  a +8a +3a = 180° . . . . . . equation modeling the relationship

__

  12a = 180° . . . . . . collect terms

  a = 15° . . . . . . . divide by 12

  3a = 3×15° = 45°

  8a = 8×15° = 120°

The angle measures are 15°, 45°, and 120°.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8
