Let <em>x</em> equal the lowest of the 3 consecutive odd integers:
(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 75
Combine like terms:
3x + 6 = 75
       -6    -6
3x = 69
/3      /3
<u><em>x = 23</em></u>
The lowest integer is 23. The 3 integers, therefore, are 23, 25, and 27.
Hope this helps!

Are points A, C, D, and F coplanar? Explain.
tatiyna
Answer: Choice B) 

The points A, C and D form a triangle which is the front face you see in the pyramid. Point F is not on this triangle at all. Point F is towards the back at the base of the pyramid away from this front face. So we consider A,C,D,F collectively as a whole to be not coplanar. If we ignored the point F, then we can say that A,C,D are coplanar.

Answer:

Option D is correct.

VS = 20 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is contained in the attached image to this answer.

From the image attached and the additional information about the triangles, it is evident that that triangle VSW is similar to triangle QSR.

Hence, we can write the ratio as

(VS/QS) = (VW/QR)

VS = 2a

QS = 2 × VS = 2 × 2a = 4a

VW = 2a - 2

QR = 3a + 6

(2a)/(4a) = (2a - 2)/(3a + 6)

Cross multiplying,

2a (3a + 6) = 4a (2a - 2)

3a + 6 = 2 (2a - 2)

3a + 6 = 4a - 4

4a - 3a = 6 + 4

a = 10

VS = 2a = 20 units.

Hope this Helps!!!

Segment EG is an angle bisector of angle FGH. Noah wrote a proof to show that triangle HEG is congruent to triangle FEG. Noah's
tangare [24]

Answer:

Line 3 is incorrect; we don't know anything about the lengths of HG, FG, HE, and EF, so this line is not valid based on the given information.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Noah's poof of the construction, segment EG would divide angle FGH into two equal parts, which makes line 2 to be valid. i.e <EGH ≅ <EGF. And it can also be observed that line 4 is a valid theorem in proving the congruent nature of triangles.

But line 3 is not valid because of the condition of the statement. Furthermore, segments FG, EG, HG, HE and FE may not be congruent. Thus, the condition of the statement in line 3 is incorrect.
