The lengths of the sides of a triangle are consecutive odd integers. If the perimeter is 1 less than 4 times the shortest side, find the length of each side

Answers

Answer 1
Let the shortest side be x.  Then the other two sides will be x+1 and x+2.

Perimeter = P = sum of the lengths of all three sides = x  +  (x+1) + (x+2) 

This perimeter = 4x -1 (1 less than 4 times the shortest side).

Then x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4x - 1
      or:        3x + 3         = 4x -1                 Subtr. 3x from both sides:
                                                                  3 = x - 1

x=4, x+1=5, and x+2=6

The 3 sides have lengths 4, 5 and 6.

m(arc)XY = 137

Answer is A.

A circle is a curve sketched out by a point moving in a plane. The correct option is A, 137°.

What is a circle?

A circle is a curve sketched out by a point moving in a plane so that its distance from a given point is constant; alternatively, it is the shape formed by all points in a plane that are at a set distance from a given point, the centre.

In the given figure since W is the midpoint of ZY, therefore, the measure of arc ZV and arc VY will be equal; and ZX and XY will be equal. Also, it is given that the measure of arc ZV is 43°. Therefore, we can write,

mZV + mVY + mXY + mXZ = 360°

43° + 43° + mXY + mXY = 360°

2(mXY) = 360° - 43° - 43°

mXY = 274/2

mXY = 137°

Hence, the measure of arc XY is 137°.

Answers

Hey there,

The answer is true

Hope it helped!

Answer:

The answer is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Inductive reasoning is a principle in mathematical and philosophical logic where general conclusions are derived from specific situations. Its contrary is deductive reasoning where we use a general rule to explain particular situations, reasoning commonly used in mathermatics. Example: all right angles measure 90 degrees, AB is right angle so AB measure 90 degrees,

In inductive reasoning we use the opposite logic that can take to incorrect general principles due to a bias. Example, my friend is tall and a good basket player, Joe is tall and also plays good basketball so All tall people are good basket players is a biased conclusion.

PL has endpoints P(4, −6) and L(−2, 1). The segment is translated using the mapping (x, y) → (x + 5, y). What are the coordinates of P’ and L’? P’(9, -6), L’(-2, 1) P’(4, -6), L’(3, 1) P’(9, -6), L’(3, 1) P’(9, -1), L’(3, 6)

Answers

Answer: C P’(9,-6), L’(3,1)

Final answer:

The coordinates of P' and L' after the translation are (9, -6) and (3, 1) respectively.

Explanation:

A translation rule in mathematics describes the process of moving a geometric figure from one location to another without changing its shape or orientation. It involves shifting the figure horizontally or vertically by a certain distance. Translation rules are essential in geometry and are used to analyze and manipulate shapes on a coordinate plane.

The segment PL has endpoints P(4, -6) and L(-2, 1). To find the coordinates of P' and L' after being translated using the mapping (x, y) → (x + 5, y), we simply add 5 to the x-coordinates of P and L. Therefore, the coordinates of P' are (4 + 5, -6) which is equal to (9, -6), and the coordinates of L' are (-2 + 5, 1) which is equal to (3, 1).

That's pretty much it
6y - 3(4/3y - 2) = 0

Multiply everything in the parenthesis by -3.

6y - 12/3y + 6 = 0

you have 12 cups of granola and 8 1/2 cups of peanuts to make trail mix. what is the greatest number of full batches of trail mix can you make?

Answers

Final answer:

To determine the greatest number of full batches of trail mix that can be made, divide the total quantity of each ingredient by the required amount per batch.

Explanation:

To determine the greatest number of full batches of trail mix that can be made, we need to compare the quantities of granola and peanuts. First, we calculate the number of full batches we can make using granola. Since each batch requires 12 cups of granola, we divide the total quantity of granola (12 cups) by the required amount per batch (12 cups). The result is 1 full batch.

Next, we determine how many batches we can make using the peanuts. Since each batch requires 8 1/2 cups of peanuts, we divide the total quantity of peanuts (8 1/2 cups) by the required amount per batch (8 1/2 cups). The result is 1 full batch.

Therefore, the greatest number of full batches of trail mix that can be made is 1 batch.

Hello there! I can help you! A way we could do this is to first find the unit rate. In other words, how long it takes for each person to run 1 lap. In this case, you would do minutes/laps. To find Destiny’s unit time, you have to 12/8 and for Thelma’s unit time 14/7. If you do the question right, you should get this:

• Destiny’s time (1 lap) = 1 1/2 minutes (1 minute 30 seconds)
• Thelma’s time (1 lap) = 2 minutes

Now, we have to find the combination to find the amount t time it takes to run the number of laps that was given. In this case, we have to multiply Destiny’s time per lap by 5 and Thelma’s time per lap by 3. If you do this correctly, your answer should be:

• Destiny’s total time (5 laps) = 7 1/2 minutes (7 minutes 30 seconds)
• Thelma’s total time (3 laps) = 6 minutes

Answer:

Therefore, [tex] \angle ABC = 48\degree[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the [tex] \angle ABC[/tex]

Since, [tex] \angle DBC = 180\degree[/tex]      ( since DBC is straight line )

[tex](7x-1)+(3x-9)=180\degree[/tex]

[tex]10x-10=180 \degree[/tex]

Add both the sides by 10 in above expression

[tex]10x-10+10=180\degree+10[/tex]

[tex]10x=180 \degree+10[/tex]

[tex]10x=190 \degree[/tex]

divide both the sides by 10 in above expression

[tex]x=\frac{190}{10}[/tex]

[tex]x=19 [/tex]

Hence, the value of x is 19.

Now, we will calculate [tex] \angle ABC[/tex]

[tex] \angle ABC = 3x-9[/tex]

Put x = 19 in above

[tex] \angle ABC = 3(19)-9[/tex]

[tex] \angle ABC = 57-9[/tex]

[tex] \angle ABC = 48[/tex]

Therefore, [tex] \angle ABC = 48[/tex].

if it takes 3 hours for 8 workers to paint a fence, how long would it take for 6 workers.

SHOW WORKING

Answers

Final answer:

It would take 6 workers 4 hours to paint the fence, as the total amount of work, 24 worker-hours, divided by 6 workers, gives 4 hours.

Explanation:

Let's tackle the problem by first determining the total amount of work done when 8 workers paint a fence in 3 hours. This work can be considered as 24 worker-hours (since 8 workers * 3 hours = 24 worker-hours). This total amount of work would stay the same regardless of the number of workers. So if 6 workers are going to do the same job, we'd divide the total work by the number of workers to find out how many hours it would take for 6 workers to complete the task.

Dividing the 24 worker-hours by 6 workers, we get:

24 worker-hours / 6 workers = 4 hours

Therefore, it would take 6 workers 4 hours to paint the fence.

A nonlinear function that can be written on the standard form

ax2+bx+c,wherea≠0ax2+bx+c,wherea≠0

is called a quadratic function.

All quadratic functions has a U-shaped graph called a parabola. The parent quadratic function is

y=x2y=x2


The lowest or the highest point on a parabola is called the vertex. The vertex has the x-coordinate

x=−b2ax=−b2a

The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum or minimum value of the function.

a > 0                   parabola opens up                    minimum value


a < 0                    parabola opens down              maximum value


A rule of thumb reminds us that when we have a positive symbol before x2we get a happy expression on the graph and a negative symbol renders a sad expression.

The vertical line that passes through the vertex and divides the parabola in two is called the axis of symmetry. The axis of symmetry has the equation

x=−b2ax=−b2a

The y-intercept of the equation is c.


When you want to graph a quadratic function you begin by making a table of values for some values of your function and then plot those values in a coordinate plane and draw a smooth curve through the points.

Multiply 7 x 462 using place value and expanded form
Final answer:

To multiply 7 x 462 using place value and expanded form, we first write 462 as the sum of the products of its digits and their place values (400 + 60 + 2). We then multiply each component by 7 and add the results to get 3234.

Explanation:

To multiply 7 x 462 using place value and expanded form, you first need to break down the number 462 into expanded form. This means you write it as the sum of the products of its digits and their place values. We start at the right and move to the left: 2 (units), 60 (tens), and 400 (hundreds). So 462 in expanded form is 400 + 60 + 2.

The next step is to multiply each component by 7: 7 x 400 = 2800, 7 x 60 = 420, and 7 x 2 = 14. You add those results together to get your final answer: 2800 + 420 + 14 = 3234. So, 7 x 462 = 3234.
