In STU, ST=37-X, TU=2X-16, SU=X+13. The perimeter of the
triangle is 90. List the angles in order from smallest to largest.
T Substituting X:
41 is the longest side
ST=37-X and it is opposite to T
37-X 2X-16 =37 – ( 28 )

S TU=2X-16 9 is the shortest
X+13 U = 2(28 )-16 side and it is
The perimeter is 90, so: opposite to U so
=56 -16 then U is the
37-X +2X-16 +X+13 =90 = 40 smallest.
37 – 16 + 13 –X +2X +X = 90 SU=X + 13
Then:

Finding missing angles: B

180°- 92°-33°= 55°
180°- 90°-25°= 65°
So, which angle’s measure is the smallest?
25°
So, the opposite side to this angle is DC 20
and it is the shortest side in the figure. STANDARD 6

In JKL, m J=12x+11, m K=9x+3, m L=7x+26. List the sides in

order from longest to shortest.
L Finding the angles:
61°
m J =12x + 11 The largest angle is J
=12( 5 ) + 11 and opposite segment LK is
7x+26
71° = 60 + 11 the longest side.
48°
9x+3 12x+11 = 71°
The smallest angle is K
K J m K=9x+3 and opposite segment JL
Adding the interior angles in the triangle: =9( 5 ) + 3 is the shortest side.
= 45 + 3
m J + m K + m L = 180°
= 48°
(12x+11)+(9x+3)+(7x+26)=180°
28X + 40 = 180° m L =7x+26
-40 -40 = 7( 5 )+26
28X = 140° = 35 + 26
