The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 236. What is smaller integers

1 answer:

6 0

I'll say the first integer is x. The next consecutive odd number would be x+2. If the sum of the odd integers is 236, the equation would be
x + (x + 2) = 236
solve for x
2x + 2 = 236
subtract 2 from each side of the equation
2x = 234
divide both sides by 2
x = 117
117 is the first odd integer. to find the other integer (x + 2), substitute 117 for x, and you have 117 + 2, which equals 119
The two consecutive odd integers that add up to 236 are 117 and 119.

The oblique pyramid has a square base. What is the volume of the pyramid? 2.5 cm3 5 cm3 6 cm3 7.5 cm3

Take a look at the attachment below. It fills in for the attachment that wasn't provided in the question -

An oblique pyramid is one that has a top not aligned with the base. Due to this, the height of the pyramid connects with two vertices at its ends to form a right angle present outside the pyramid, knowing that it is always perpendicular to the base. There is no difference between the calculations of the volume of an oblique pyramid and a pyramid however -

$\\Base Area = 2 cm * 2 cm = 4 cm^2,\\Volume ( Pyramid ) = 1 / 3 * ( Base Area ) * ( Height ),\\Volume = 1 / 3 * ( 4 ) * ( 3.75 ),\\-------------------------\\Volume = 5 cm^3$
