Let the smaller piece be x .

Then the larger angle will be = 3x

An equation to find the length of each of the two pieces :-

[tex]x + 3x = 112[/tex]

[tex]4x = 112[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{112}{4} [/tex]

[tex]x = 28[/tex]

Which means :-

Length of the shorter piece = 28 inches

Length of the larger piece = 28 × 3 = 84 inches

Therefore , the length of the shorter piece = 28 inches .
