Question

Please help! I'm really confused.


Angle A = 8x - 2, angle B = 2x - 8, and angle C = 94 - 4x. List the sides of triangle ABC in order from shortest to longest.

Options: (all are line segments)
o AC, AB, BC
o AC, BC, AB
o AB, AC, BC
o AC, BC, AB

Answer 1

nice problem...

Answer 2

I think they want you to "solve for x", then use that value to find the angles A,B and C. The leg opposite the biggest angle is the longest
the leg opposite the smallest angle is the shortest

Answer 3

Can you do step 1: find x?

Answer 4

the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°

Answer 5

Just a moment please.

Answer 6

x = 16

Answer 7

yes. now find A, B and C

Answer 8

A = 126

Answer 9

B = 24
C = 30

Answer 10

now shortest to longest

the shortest leg is opposite angle B. What is the leg opposite angle B?

Answer 11

a picture helps if you don't know off hand

Answer 12

I would say C.

Answer 13

I think it is the third option; line segments AB, AC, and BC.

Answer 14

legs are named by their two end points
