1. Problem Description

The problem asks to find the value of nn in triangle PQRPQR, where the measures of the angles are given as mP=4n+61m\angle P = 4n + 61, mQ=673nm\angle Q = 67 - 3n, and mR=n+74m\angle R = n + 74. Also, we need to list the sides of the triangle from shortest to longest.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to find the value of nn. We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Therefore, we can write the equation:
mP+mQ+mR=180m\angle P + m\angle Q + m\angle R = 180
Substitute the given expressions for the angles:
(4n+61)+(673n)+(n+74)=180(4n + 61) + (67 - 3n) + (n + 74) = 180
Combine like terms:
(4n3n+n)+(61+67+74)=180(4n - 3n + n) + (61 + 67 + 74) = 180
2n+202=1802n + 202 = 180
Subtract 202 from both sides:
2n=1802022n = 180 - 202
2n=222n = -22
Divide by 2:
n=11n = -11
Now, we need to find the measures of each angle:
mP=4(11)+61=44+61=17m\angle P = 4(-11) + 61 = -44 + 61 = 17
mQ=673(11)=67+33=100m\angle Q = 67 - 3(-11) = 67 + 33 = 100
mR=(11)+74=63m\angle R = (-11) + 74 = 63
We have the angles: mP=17m\angle P = 17^{\circ}, mQ=100m\angle Q = 100^{\circ}, and mR=63m\angle R = 63^{\circ}.
In a triangle, the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle, and the longest side is opposite the largest angle. So, since mP<mR<mQm\angle P < m\angle R < m\angle Q, we have:
17<63<10017^{\circ} < 63^{\circ} < 100^{\circ}
Therefore, P<R<Q\angle P < \angle R < \angle Q. The sides opposite these angles are QRQR, PQPQ, and PRPR, respectively. So, the order of the sides from shortest to longest is: QRQR, PQPQ, PRPR.

3. Final Answer

n=11n = -11
Sides from shortest to longest: QRQR, PQPQ, PRPR
