The sum od the squares of two consecutive even integers is 164. Find the integers.

1 answer:

7 0

Let x be the smaller integer, then x+2 is the larger integer.
We're given
x^2+(x+2)^2=164
Expand and simplify
2x^2+4x+4=164
x^2+2x-80=0
(x-8)(x+10)=0
=> x=-10 or x=8.

Therefore the integers are{8,10} or {-10,-8}.
Note: question asks for integers, so negative integers count.

If an angle of a parallelogram is two-third of

balandron [24]

Answer:

We know that in a parallelogram two opposite angles are equal -

$\\ \implies \sf \: 2x + 2y = 360 {}^{ \circ} \\ \\ \\ \implies \sf \: x + y = 180 {}^{ \circ} \qquad \quad \: (i) \\$

Given - 

angle x is equal to the two - third of it's adjacent angle y.

$\\ \implies \sf \: x = \frac{2}{3} y \\ \\ \\ \implies \sf \frac{x}{2} = \frac{y}{3} = k \\ \\ \\ \qquad \sf \small \underline{ x = 2k \: \: \& \: \: y = 3k} \\$

Now, by using equation (1) :

$\\ \implies \sf \: 2k + 3k = 180 \\ \\ \\ \implies \sf \: 5k = 180 \\ \\ \\ \implies \sf \: k = \frac{180}{5} \\ \\ \\ \large{ \boxed{ \sf{k = {36}^{ \circ} }}} \\$

Now, by putting the value of k in x and y. 

x = 2k = 2 × 36 = 72°
y = 3k = 3 × 36 = 108°

Therefore, the right option and smallest angle is b) 72°.

Describe a diagram of a pair of triangles that share a common angle and a common side.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

uploaded in the attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

if u see the diagram, there are 2 triangles in it ABC and ABD.

the common side for these pair of triangles is AB.

common angle is angle BAC.
therefore, these triangles share a common side AB and a common angle BAC.
