Answer:
R, T, S
Step-by-step explanation:
R+S+T=180 degrees
9x-2+4x+36+5x+20=180
18+54x=180
54x=162
x=3
R=9*3-2 (substitute x with 3)
R=25
S=4*3+36
S=48
T=5*3+20
T=35
Shortest to longest: R, T, S
Answer:
RS, ST, RT
Step-by-step explanation
1. Add up the angle expressions and set it equal to 180.
9x-2 + 4x+36 + 5x+20 = 180
18x +54 = 180
18x = 126
* You will get x to equal 7.
2. Next, plug 7 in for the x for the expressions.
You should get 61 for angle R.
You should get 64 for angle S.
You should get 55 for angle T.
3. Draw a triangle and label the points of the triangle R, S, and T. Put the angle values on the triangle.
4. Across from angle T (55°) on the triangle is side RS. Across from angle R (61°) on the triangle is side ST. Across from angle S (64°) on the triangle is side RT.
* The size of the angle corresponds with the size of the side across from it (for example; if an angle is the largest angle, then the side across from it will be the largest side).
