If n stands for the smallest number, then the second and third number would be (n + 1) and (n + 2)

Write the equation based on what are given
the sum of three numbers = 72
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 72

Then, solve the equation
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 72
3n + 3 = 72
3n = 72 - 3
3n = 69
n = 69/3
n = 23

The smallest number is 23

If P is the midpoint of XY, XP = 8x - 2 and PY = 12x - 30, find the<br> value of x.
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>If P is the midpoint of XY, then XP = PY:</u>

  • 8x - 2 = 12x - 30
  • 12x -8x = 30 -2
  • 4x = 28
  • x= 28/4
  • x= 7

the product of two integers is positive.is the quotient of those same integers positive, negative,or impossible to predict? expl
KiRa [710]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

pi is irrational. That was proven long ago. Unfortunately the proof is harder to understand than the proof that the square root of 2 is irrational, which is accessible to most high school students.

To prove that p is irrational you need to understand calculus, up through integration. Even then, the proof is rather intense and takes careful attention.

Find the length of a side of the<br> square shown below.<br> х<br> 6V2<br> X =<br> x = [?]
Leona [35]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

In a square, its angles are all 90 degrees. So, cutting a square in half into two triangles from corner to corner produces 45 degree angles on both sides. Since the triangles are now 45-45-90 triangles, we can use the rule where the hypotenuse of the triangle is equal to the square root of 2 times the length of either side. So, the side length is 6.

I'd greatly appreciate the help-
dem82 [27]

Answer:

The 3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove that 2 triangles are similar, we need to prove that 2 pairs of their angle measurements are congruent.

This is because all triangles have 180 degrees, so if 2 pairs are congruent, the remaining angles will also be congruent

We know that m<D=m<E

We also know that m<DCA=m<ECB because they are vertical angles.

Vertical angles are always congruent.

Therefore, the triangles are similar.

The correct similarity statement would be 1, since <D corresponds with <E.

Now let's look at the 3rd Statement. To prove that two lines are similar, we would have to prove that their alternate interior angles are congruent.

A pair of alternate interior angles would be <D and B or or <E  and <A

There is no way to prove this, since we do not know any of the angle  or that measurements or if the triangles are isosceles triangles.

Hence, the correct choice would be 1 only.
