Larry went to the beach with his son. He collected seashells in the first pile. He placed 109 less seashells in the second pile than in the first pile. The third pile has exactly the sum of piles on and two. How many seashells were in the third pile?

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.

answer would be 8.64 or s = 11π/4 inches

step-by-step explanation:

s = r θ  

where s = arc length  

r = radius = 3 inches  

θ = central angle in radians = ( π /180)*165  

s = 3(π/180)*165  

= 8.64 inches

your answer is

a.
