Pennies are small so, if would be more accurate and have whole numbers. If u measured with an inch or meter, u would get a fraction for an answer.

Answer:

Because you will get whole numbers in milimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a penny is small, you would need to use small units to measure it, otherwise you will end up with a scientific notation number, or with large decimals in order to be able to express its measurements, with milimeters you will only get whole numbers and can be more exact.

Find four consecutive integers with the sum of -142

Akimi4 [234]

n, n + 1, n + 2, n + 3 - four consecutive integers

-142 - the sum

The equation:

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3) = -142

n + n + 1 + n + 2 + n + 3 = -142

4n + 6 = -142 |subtract 6 from both sides

4n = -148 |divide both sides by 4

n = -37

n + 1 = -37 + 1 = -36

n + 2 = -37 + 2 = -35

n + 3 = -37 + 3 = -34

Answer: -37, -36, -35, -34.

Answer:

The coordinates of E are $E(x,y) = \left(\frac{9}{2}, 0 \right)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle ABC represents a right triangle as both sides AB and AC are orthogonal to each other. The side AB is in the y axis, whereas the side AC is in the x axis. The triangle is dilated with respect to the origin, in which point A is set.

Vectorially speaking, dilation is defined by the following operation:

$P'(x,y) = O(x,y) + k\cdot [P(x,y) - O(x,y)]$ (1)
