Answer:

The three consecutive even integers are 4,6,8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive even integers be 2x, 2x+2, 2x + 4

Middle number = 2x +2

2x + 2x+2 + 2x + 4 = 4* (2x+2) - 6

6x + 6 = 4*2x + 4*2 - 6

6x + 6 = 8x + 8 -6

6x + 6 = 8x + 2

6x - 8x = 2 -6

-2x = -4

x = -4/-2

x = 2

The three consecutive even integers are

2x = 2*2 = 4

2x+2 = 2*2 +2 =4 + 2 = 6

2x + 4 = 2*2+4 = 4+4 = 8

The quadrilateral shown is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin. In which quadrant is the image of the quadrilateral located?

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Option (2). 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of point A, B, C and D are,

A(-4, 4), B(-2, 4), C(-2, 1) and D(-4, 3).

Quadrilateral ABCD when rotated 90° clockwise about the origin,

Rule for the rotation of the vertices,

(x, y) → (y, -x)

Following the rule of rotation coordinates of the image points,

A(-4, 4) → A'(4, 4)

B(-2, 4) → B'(4, 2)

C(-2, 1) → C'(1, 2)

D(-4, 3) → D'(3, 4)

Since all image points have the positive coordinates (x and y coordinates), image quadrilateral A'B'C'D' will be located in 1st quadrant.

Option (2) is the correct option.

What additional information could you use to show that ΔSTU ≅ ΔVTU using SAS? Check all that apply.

Ugo [173]

I believe the correct answers are:

<span>UV = 14 ft and m∠TUV = 45°</span>
<span>ST = 20 ft, UV = 14 ft, and m∠UST = 98°

Or, in other words, Options A and D.

Which rays are part of line BE?<br><br> AC and AE<br> AB and AE<br> AC and AB<br> AB and

rosijanka [135]

We are given a diagram with different rays and lines.

Note: A line can be extend more and more upto infinitely length from both of the ends but a ray can be extend from from end only.

We need to find the rays for the line BE.

We can see BE line has a point A in between line.

So, we can name the rays formed with end point A as AB and AE.

<h3>Therefore, AB and AE rays are part of line BE.</h3><h3>So, the correct option is 2nd option :</h3><h3>AB and AE.</h3>

R * p = -37.8 <br>but also<br>r + p = 13.5<br><br>what would r be?<br>what would p be?

Nana76 [90]

R * p = -37.8

Solve for either R or p.

R = -37.8/p

Now plug into R + p = 13.5

-37.8/p + p = 13.5

Solve for p.

After finding p, plug your p-value into either R + p or R*p to find R.

Take it from here.
