3 sides of the triangle are consecutive odd numbers. What is the smallest possible perimeter of the triangle ?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: If triangle ABC has vertices with integer coordinates then we just saw that any side which is not horizontal or vertical must have length at least 5 units. If exactly one side is not vertical or horizontal this means that 12 units is the smallest possible perimeter, achieved for the (3,4,5) triangle studied above

What is the answer here and explain why.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 4(- x + 8) = 0

- 4≠ 0, so

- x + 8 = 0 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

- x = - 8 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 8

Eric has 183 coins all of them are nickels and dimes. If the total value of the coins is 14.45, how many of each denomination co

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

77 nickels

106 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be n nickes and d dimes

Since there are 183 coins, we can write:

n + d = 183

Also, the value of nickel is 0.05 and dime is 0.1, total value is 14.45, so we can write:

0.05n + 0.1d = 14.45

Solving 1st equation for n, we have:

n = 183 - d

Putting this into 2nd equation and solving for d:

$0.05n + 0.1d = 14.45\\0.05(183-d) + 0.1d = 14.45\\9.15-0.05d+0.1d=14.45\\0.05d=5.3\\d=106$

There are 106 dimes

Since, n = 183 - d

n = 183 - 106

n = 77

There are 77 nickels

A small factory planned to produce a batch of men’s shirts in 8 days. But producing 10 more shirts per day than planned, they fi

a_sh-v [17]

In unit of batches over days, let r be the planned rate and R be the actual increased rate. The difference between R and r is described as 10 shirts per day.

R-r=10

Rate Time Batches

Planned r 8 1

Actual R 7 1

$\left[\begin{array}{c}r=1/8&R=1/7&R-r=HowManyBatchesInTenShirts\end{array}\right]$

$1/7-1/8$ , the number of batches equivalent to 10 shirts.

$(1/56)*Batches=10*Shirts$

OneBatch=560*Shirts

Hope This Helps!!!
