Answer:

D. 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

abc=100a+10b+c

bca=100b+10c+a

cab=100c+10a+b

abc + bca + cab=(100a+10b+c) + (100b+10c+a) + (100c+10a+b)

=100a + 10b + c + 100b + 10c + a + 100c + 10a + b

Collect like terms

=100a + a + 10a + 10b + 100b + b + c + 10c + 100c

=111a + 111b + 111 c

Factorise

=111(a+b+c)

abc + bca + cab = 111(a+b+c)

Factors of 111(a+b+c)= 1, 3, 37, 111, and (a+b+c)

abc + bca + cab is divisible by a+b+c because it is a factor of 111(a+b+c)

abc + bca + cab is divisible by 3 because 3 is a factor of 111(a+b+c)

abc + bca + cab is divisible by 37 because 37 is a factor of 111(a+b+c)

abc + bca + cab is not divisible by 9 because 9 is not a factor of 111(a+b+c)

A triangle has sides of 18cm and 32cm. The measurement of the longest side is missing. Ted says that one possibility for the unk
gulaghasi [49]
Since the measurement of the longest side is missing we can use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse or longest side.

18^2 + 32^2 = c (hypotenuse) ^2
324 + 1,024 = c^2
1,348 = c^2
sqrt 1,348 = c
36.72 = c
i do not agree with ted because when you use the pythagorean theorem you do not get 47cm

this can be proved by
18^2 + 32 ^2 = 47^2
we already know the left side is 1,348
1,348 = 47^2
1,348 does not equal 2,209 which is 47 squared
