What is the greatest common factor of 36 and 27

Mathematics
1 answer:
Aloiza [94]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  9

Step-by-step explanation:

When the numbers are relatively close together, it is often useful to see if their difference is a factor:

  36 -27 = 9

Checking ...

  36 = 4×9

  27 = 3×9

9 is the greatest common factor of 27 and 36.

<em>How to find the greatest common factor (GCF)</em>

The Euclidean algorithm has you find the remainder from division of the larger by the smaller. If that remainder is zero, the smaller is the GCF. If the remainder is nonzero, it replaces the larger number and the process is repeated. When the larger number is less than twice the smaller, the remainder is their difference.

A flagpole casts a shadow that is 12 ft long. A 6-ft tall man casts a shadow
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

9ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, the corresponding sides are proportional.

Let the height of the flag pole be x feet.

\frac{x}{6}  =  \frac{12}{8}

We multiply both sides by 6 to get:

x =  \frac{12}{8}  \times 6

We reduce the fraction to get:

x =  \frac{3}{2}  \times 6

We now simplify

x = 3 \times 3

x = 9ft

Find the composition of
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

[(x + 6), (y + 1)]

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertices of the quadrilateral ABCD are,

A → (-5, 2)

B → (-3, 4)

C → (-2, 4)

D → (-1, 2)

By reflecting the given quadrilateral ABCD across x-axis to form the image quadrilateral A'B'C'D',

Rule for the reflection of a point across x-axis is,

(x, y) → (x , -y)

Coordinates of the image point A' will be,

A(-5, 2) → A'(-5, -2)

From the picture attached, point E is obtained by translation of point A'.

Rule for the translation of a point by h units right and k units up,

A'(x+h, y+k) → E(x', y')

By this rule,

A'(-5 + h, -2 + k) → E(1, -1)

By comparing coordinates of A' and E,

-5 + h = 1

h = 6

-2 + k = -1

k = 1

That means

Rule for the translation will be,

[(x + 6), (y + 1)]

Find the 76th term of the arithmetic sequences 16 14 12
grigory [225]

Answer:

a₇₆ = - 134

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 16 and d = a₂ - a₁ = 14 - 16 = - 2, then

a₇₆ = 16 + (75 × - 2) = 16 - 150 = - 134
