the sum of two consecutive even integers is greater than or equal to 34 what are the smallest possible integers?

DedPeter [7]

n, n + 2 - two consecutive even integers

the sum of two consecutive even integers is greater than or equal to 34

n + (n + 2) ≥ 34

n + n + 2 ≥ 34

2n + 2 ≥ 34 <em>subtract 2 from both sides</em>

2n ≥ 32 <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

n ≥ 16

<h3>Answer: The smallest possible integers is equal 16.</h3>

In ΔSTU, the measure of ∠U=90°, ST = 9.7 feet, and US = 4 feet. Find the measure of ∠T to the nearest degree.

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Around 24 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

*Make sure calculator is on degree mode*

Try to draw out triangle--it helps

Need to use law of sines... this is where an angle and the side that opposes it are equal to each other. For example, Angle U is equal to 9.7

$\frac{sin\alpha }{4} = \frac{sin90}{9.7}$

Multiply 4 and sin90 and then divide the product by 9.7

Use $sin^{-1}$ on calculator to convert the answer into degrees
