Using the Pythagorean theorem we can find the distance from the swimming pool to the courthouse:

Swimming pool to courthouse:

Distance = √(3^2 + 4^2)

Distance = √(9+16)

Distance = √25

Distance = 5 kilometers


Now total the distance the bird flew:

Courthouse to Library is given as 3 kilometers.

Library to swimming pool is given as 4 kilometers

Swimming pool to courthouse we calculated as 5 kilometers.


Total distance = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 kilometers.

The sum of 3 consecutive multiples of 4 is 180.
Paul [167]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  56, 60, 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The middle of the three numbers is their average: 180/3 = 60. The other two will be 4 more or less than this.

The numbers of interest are 56, 60, 64.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

For "consecutive integer" problems, it is often useful to work with the average of the numbers. The average will be the middle number of an odd number of numbers (as here), or will be halfway between the two middle numbers if their number is even.

Even if you bother to write equations, it can work to do that in terms of the average value (middle number): (x -4) +(x) +(x +4) = 180 in this case.

The perimeter of a triangular window is 141 inches. The ratio of the side lengths of the window is 11:18:18. What are the side l
vaieri [72.5K]

The perimeter of a triangular window is the sum of its side lengths

The side lengths of the window are 33 inches, and 54 inches

<h3>How to determine the side lengths?</h3>

The ratio is given as:

Ratio = 11: 18 : 18

Rewrite as:

Ratio = 11x: 18x : 18x

Express as sum

Sum = 11x + 18x + 18x

Sum = 47x

The perimeter is 141 inches.

So, we have:

47x = 141

Divide both sides by 47

x = 3

Recall that:

Ratio = 11x: 18x : 18x

So, we have:

Ratio = 11*3: 18*3 : 18* 3

Ratio = 33: 54 : 54

Hence, the side lengths of the window are 33 inches, and 54 inches
