6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8) = 135

5·x + 20 = 135

5·x = 115

x = 23

So the sequence is

23, 25, 27, 29, 31

The second number is 25.

A water wheel has a radius of 9 feet. The wheel is rotating at 5 revolutions per minute. Find the linear speed, in feet per mi

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$90\pi\text{ ft/s}\approx282.74\text{ ft/s}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to physics equation $v=\omega r$ , where $\omega$ is angular velocity.

Angular velocity's SI unit is rad/s. Convert rev/min to rad/s:

$\displaystyle 5\text{ rev/min}=5\cdot \frac{1}{60}\cdot 2\pi\approx 0.524\text{ rad/s}$

Now substitute $\displaystyle\omega=\frac{1\pi}{6}$ and $r=9$ into $v=\omega r$ :

$\displaystyle v=\frac{1\pi}{6}\cdot 9=\frac{3}{2}\pi\text{ ft/s}=\boxed{90\pi\text{ ft/s}}$

If ΔABC is an equilateral triangle with, AB = 2x + 17, BC = 6x - 19, AC = 4x-1, find x and the measure of each side

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

$x=9, AB=BC=AC=35$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equilateral triangles have 3 congruent sides, so all 3 sides have the same length. Therefore, we know that $AB=BC=AC$ . We are given the lengths of all 3 sides in terms of $x$ , but we only need to set two of them equal to each other to solve for $x$ . Let's use $AB$ and $BC$ to solve for $x$ . We know that $AB=BC$ , $AB=2x+17$ , and $BC=6x-19$ . Therefore, we can write the following equation to solve for
