Answer:

<em>The answer is 13</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Two positive and consecutive old numbers are x and x - 2.

=> x(x - 2) = 143

=> x^2 - 2x - 143 = 0

=> x^2 + 11x - 13x - 143 = 0

=> x(x + 11) - 13(x + 11) = 0

=> (x + 11)(x - 13) = 0

=>  x = -11 (invalid)

or x = 13 (valid), the remaining number is 13 - 2 = 11

=> The two numbers are 11 and 13, and the greater number is 13.

Hope this helps!

find the area of a regular pentagon inscribed in a circle whose equation is given by (x-4)^2 + (y+2)^2=25
makkiz [27]
The radius is √25=5 in this case.
find the area of each triangles first. (the pentagon can be divided into 5 isosceles triangles)
the two equal sides are 5 each, the angle between them is 360/5=72 degree, so the base side is 2*5*sin36, and the height is 5*Cos36
the area of each triangle is (1/2)*2*5*Sin36*5*Cos36
the total area of the 5 triangles is: 5*(1/2)*2*5*Sin36*5*Cos36
use a calculator: A≈59.44

Calculate the fraction of this recurring decimal. ​
Agata [3.3K]
<h3>Answer:  76/4995</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

x = 0.0152152...

10x = 0.152152...

10000x = 152.152...

Subtract the last two equations to find that

  • 10000x-10x becomes 9990x on the left side
  • 152.152... - 0.152152... becomes 152 on the right side

We're left with the equation 9990x = 152 which solves to x = 152/9990

Divide both parts of that fraction by 2 so that the fraction fully reduces to 76/4995 which is the final answer

You can use your calculator to see that 76/4995 = 0.0152152152152... which confirms the answer.
