48/4 = 12 for sides. Area is l x w so 12x12 = 144
Answer:
If there is 1 at the top, then you have 1, then 2, then 3, etc.
total number of oranges equals:
1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 16 + 17 + 18 <-- stop at 18 because this is the number of oranges at the base
You can use the formula:
sum of first n numbers = n*(n + 1)/2
-->
18*19/2 = 9*19 = 171
or you can figure it out (basically derive the above formula):
you have:
1 + 18 = 19
2 + 17 = 19
3 + 16 = 19
...
How many pairs do you have? Well, it's just the number of numbers: 1-18 = 18 numbers (divide by 2) = 9 pairs)
9 pairs of 19 = 9 * 19 = 171
Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
The smallest value it could be is 4 and the largest value it could be is 10.
The triangle inequality theorem states that any two sides of a triangle must have a sum greater than the third side. Given the two sides we have, 7 and 4, the sum would be 11; this would mean that the missing side could be no more than 10.
If we take the unknown side and the smallest one we're given, we would have the inequality
n+4>7
Subtracting 4 from both sides we would have n>3. That means it would have to be the next integer up, which would be 4.
