The number 75 can be expressed as the sum of two or more consecutive positive integers in five different ways. One such sequence

begins with 13: 13 + 14 + 15 +16 +17= 75. With what number does each of the four sequences begin?

X, x+1, x+2, x+3, ... - consecutive integers

75 as the sum of two consecutive integers:
x+x+1=75 \\
2x+1=75 \\ 2x=75-1 \\
2x=74 \\
x=\frac{74}{2} \\
x=37 \\ \\ \boxed{75=37+38}

75 as the sum of three consecutive integers:
x+x+1+x+2=75 \\
3x+3=75 \\
3x=75-3 \\
3x=72 \\
x=\frac{72}{3} \\
x=24 \\ \\ \boxed{75=24+25+26}

75 as the sum of six consecutive integers:
x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4+x+5=75 \\
6x+15=75 \\
6x=75-15 \\
6x=60 \\
x=\frac{60}{6} \\
x=10 \\ \\
\boxed{75=10+11+12+13+14+15}

75 as the sum of ten consecutive integers:
x+x+1+x+2+x+3+...+x+7+x+8+x+9= 75 \\
10x+45=75 \\
10x=75-45 \\
10x=30 \\
x=\frac{30}{10} \\
x=3 \\ \\
\boxed{75=3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12}

The four sequences begin with: 3, 10, 24, 37.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula, a 2 − b 2 = ( a + b ) ( a − b ) where a = 7 and b = a + x . − ( 7 + a + x ) ( a + x − 7 )

An athlete runs around a circular track. The track has a diameter of 200 feet. How many laps does she need to take to run a mile
Shtirlitz [24]
First you have to figure out the length of the track:

2 * \pi * r

r is the half of the diameter:
200ft : 2 = 100ft

2* \pi *100ft = 200\pi≈ 628,31

The athlete has to run ca. 5280ft for one mile:

5280 : 628,31≈8,4

The athlete has to run 8,4 laps

What is the area of the triangle?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

the area of a triangle is b*h/2

we can set BC as the base because AC is harder to calculate.

Then we draw an imaginary height.

There's no way to really explain, but the height would be 5 here, since 3 - -2 = 5

The base is 3

3*5/2 = 15/2

Thanks,

Answer:

Volume of Cone =

=  \frac{1}{3}\pi (2)^2 (4)\\\\=\frac{1}{3}(3.14)(4)(4)\\\\=\frac{1}{3}\times 3.14\times 16 \\\\=\frac{1}{3}\times50.24\\\\=16.746\\\\\approx16.75 \texttt {ft} ^3

Thus, Volume = 16.75 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone is given by the formula  

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h

Where r is the radius and

h is the height

Given radius r = 2 and

height is 2 times that.

So height is 2*2 = 4

Plugging these into the formula we get:

Volume of Cone =

=  \frac{1}{3}\pi (2)^2 (4)\\\\=\frac{1}{3}(3.14)(4)(4)\\\\=\frac{1}{3}\times 3.14\times 16 \\\\=\frac{1}{3}\times50.24\\\\=16.746\\\\\approx16.75 \texttt {ft} ^3

Thus, Volume = 16.75 cubic feet
