<u>We are given:</u>
An even number 'n', multiplied by the next consecutive even number is 168
<u>Solving for n:</u>
From the given statement, we can say that:
n(n+2) = 168 [<em>n multiplied by the next even number 'n+2'</em>]
n² + 2n = 168
n² + 2n - 168 = 0 [<em>subtracting 168 from both sides</em>]
We can see that we now have a quadratic equation, solving using splitting the middle term
n² + 14n - 12n - 168 = 0
n(n + 14) -12(n + 14) = 0 <em>[factoring out common terms</em>]
(n-12)(n+14) = 0
Here, we can divide both sides by either (n-12) OR (n+14)
Checking the result in both the cases:
(n + 14) = 0/(n-12) (n-12) = 0/(n+14)
n + 14 = 0 n - 12 = 0
n = -14 n = 12
Both these values are even and since we are not told if the number 'n' is positive or negative, both 12 and -14 are the possible values of n
Answer:
Sqrt 29
Step-by-step explanation:
7.5cm
lets take point K represent lenght from M to perimeter of circle.
r is radius
KM= r-OM= r-4.5cm
now lets draw line from O to A (OA)
we get triangle.
hypotenuse is OA and it equals r(radius)
ab=12 cm. so another side of the triangle (AM) is 12/2=6cm. and the last side of the triangle is 4.5(OM)
use pythaghorean theorem
squares of sides added = square of hypotenuse
20.25+36=r^2(our hypotenuse is radius)
56.25=r^2
r=√56.25=7.5cm
