The area of all paralellograms can be found by
area=base times height

so
area=26 and 1/2
height=6 and 5/8
convert to improper fractions for ease of use
26 and 1/2=52/2+1/2=53/2
6 and 5/8=48/8+5/8=53/8
so

area=height times base
53/2=53/8 times base
multiply both sides b 8/53 so that we clar the fraction (53/8 times 8/53=424/424=1)
(53 times 8)/(53 times 2)=1base
8/2=1base
4=base

answer is base=4 units

Well you start of in reverse. The formula to find the Area of a parallelogram is A = bh so since you already have the Area all you would have to do is divide the area by the height like so 26 1/2 / 6 5/8 = 4. So to make sure you have the right answer you would just Multiply 4 by 6 5/8 to see if it equals 26 1/2.
4 X 6 5/8 = 26 1/2

Ok, so
Length = L
Width = L + 7

Since area = length x width, then

30 = L × (L + 7)

Remember that L + 7 Is width so...

L + 7 = 30/L

So the expression for the width in terms of length would be...
w = 30/L - 7

Using the Principle of Mathematical Induction, prove that . n ^2 − n is even for n ≥ 1​
Tamiku [17]

Base case: if <em>n</em> = 1, then

1² - 1 = 0

which is even.

Induction hypothesis: assume the statement is true for <em>n</em> = <em>k</em>, namely that <em>k</em> ² - <em>k</em> is even. This means that <em>k</em> ² - <em>k</em> = 2<em>m</em> for some integer <em>m</em>.

Induction step: show that the assumption implies (<em>k</em> + 1)² - (<em>k</em> + 1) is also even. We have

(<em>k</em> + 1)² - (<em>k</em> + 1) = <em>k</em> ² + 2<em>k</em> + 1 - <em>k</em> - 1

… = (<em>k</em> ² - <em>k</em>) + 2<em>k</em>

… = 2<em>m</em> + 2<em>k</em>

… = 2 (<em>m</em> + <em>k</em>)

which is clearly even. QED

A sphere has a surface area of about 999 square millimeters. What is the radius, in millimeters, of the sphere
motikmotik

Given that, a sphere has a surface area of about 999 square millimeters.

Formula to find the surface area of sphere is,

S= 4πr² Where r = radius of the sphere and S= surface area.

Given S= 999 square millimeters.

So, we can write:

4πr² = 999

4 * 3.14 * r² = 999 Since, π = 3.14

12.56 *r² = 999

r^2=\frac{999}{12.56} Divide each sides by 12.56.

r² = 79.53821656

r = √79.53821656 Taking square root to each sides of equation.

r = 8.918420071

So, r = 8.918 Rounded to nearest thousandth.

So, radius of the sphere is 8.918 millimeters.

Hope this helps you!
