<h3>Given :-</h3>

  • Sum of three consecutive even numbers = 114

<h3>To Find :-</h3>

  • The smallest number .

<h3>Solution :-</h3>

Let the three consecutive even numbers be x, x + 2 and x + 4 .

\longrightarrow  \rm x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 114

\longrightarrow \rm 3x + 6 = 114

\longrightarrow \rm 3x = 108

\longrightarrow \bf x = 36

Smallest number = 36

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's let n be any number.

If we multiply n by 2, we get 2n. Since anything multiplied by 2 is even, 2n <em>must</em> be even. Therefore, let 2n be our first number.

So, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2) followed by (2n+4).

We know that their sum must be 114. Therefore, we can write the following equation:

(2n)+(2n+2)+(2n+4)=114

Solve for n. Combine like terms on the left:

6n+6=114

Subtract 6 from both sides:

6n=108

Finally, divide both sides by 6. Therefore, the value of n is:

n=108/6=18

Therefore, our first even number is 2n or 2(18) which equates to 36.

And the consecutive even numbers will be 38 and 40.

So, the smallest of them, the first term, is 36.

Find Lateral Surface area
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

To find the lateral surface area, we will find half of the perimeter of the base and multiply it by the slant height of the side triangles. Each triangle has a slant height. The slant height is the height of each triangle, not the height of the pyramid.

A dolphin jumps from the water at an initial velocity of 16 feet per second. The equation h + -16t^2 + 80t models the dolphin's
Dominik [7]

Answer:

100feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height reached by a dolphin expressed by the equation is h = -16t^2 + 80t. At maximum height, the velocity is zero, hence;

v(t) = dh/dt = -32t + 80

0 = -32t + 80

32t = 80

t = 80/32

t = 2.5secs

Substitute t = 2.5 into the height formula h = -16t^2 + 80t

h = -16(2.5)^2 + 80(2.5)

h = -100+200

h = 100feet

Hence  the maximum height the dolphin jumps is 100feet
