Answer:

The smallest of the said odd numbers is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is 3 odd numbers that sums up to 87, the first thing to do is to divide 87 by 3

That is 87/3 = 29, which is an odd number

The nearest odd numbers to 29 are 27 and 31, and the total of all these three odd numbers is 87

That is 27+29+31 = 87, which are consecutive odd numbers.

The smallest odd number here is therefore 27

In this truss bridge, AAOB ABDC. AO=5 meters, BD=10 meters, AB=5 meters. What is the length of BC? A. 5 m B. 8 m C. 10 m D. 15 m

Olenka [21]

Consider $\Delta AOB\cong \Delta BDC$ .

Given:

$\Delta AOB\cong \Delta BDC, AO=5\ m,BD=10\ m, AB=5\ m.$

To find:

The length of BC.

Solution:

We have,

$\Delta AOB\cong \Delta BDC$

We know that the corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC).

$AB=BC$ (CPCTC)

$5\ m=BC$

The length of BC is 5 m. Therefore, the correct option is A.

Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial?

mart [117]

Hi there! :)

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{D, x -4}$

---- Starting with: ----

x² - 10x + 24

Since we have a leading coefficient of 1, simply find two numbers that sum up to -10 and multiply into 24.

By guessing and checking, we get the numbers -6 and -4. Put these into factors:

(x - 6)(x - 4)

Therefore, a binomial present in factored form is D. x - 4
