Answer:

4 and 6 are the two consecutive even integers

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

Let x represent the smaller of the two consecutive even integers, (x+2) the other

Write as we Read***

6x = 4(x+2)

solve for x

6x = 4x + 8

2x = 8

x = 4

checking our answer

6*4 = 4*6 = 24

This is a right angle triangle.

So, by Pythagoras theorem,

√(32^2+20^2) = x

or √(1024+400) = x

or √1424 = x

or <em>37.74 = x</em>

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Square root 1 is 1. Add that to the 12 to get 13. Subtract 13 from both sides to get: -5x = 5. Divide both sides by -5 to get your answer: -1

10. from the question; the circle theorem obeyed is "angled formed by semi-circle"

The angle formed in a semicircle is 90 degrees, hence

$m\angle XYZ=90^{\circ}$

This gives

$m\angle YXZ\text{ + m}\angle YZX\text{ = 90}$

But

$\begin{gathered} m\angle YXZ\text{ = 2x + 8} \\ m\angle YZX\text{ = 5X - 2} \end{gathered}$

Substituting values we get

$\begin{gathered} 2x\text{ + 8 + 5x - 2 = 90} \\ 2x\text{ + 5x + 8 - 2 = 90} \\ 7x\text{ + 6 = 90} \\ 7x\text{ = 90 -6} \\ 7x\text{ = 84} \\ \text{divide both sides by 7} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{84}{7} \\ x\text{ = 12} \end{gathered}$

hence, x =12
