Answer:

7/8, 5/8. 1/20

Step-by-step explanation:

7/8 is close to 1

5/8 is close to half of 1

1/20 is closer to zero than it is to 1

therefore, 7/8 is the largest number, 1/20 is the smallest number, and 5/8 is in between them

Find the missing sides.

love history [14]

Answer:

Part 3)

$x=6\ units$

$y=3\ units$

Part 4) $x=18\sqrt{2}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 3)

Find the value of x

In the right triangle of the figure we know that

The cosine of angle of 30 degrees is equal to the adjacent side to angle of 30 degrees divide by the hypotenuse

$cos(30\°)=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{x}$

and remember that

$cos(30\°)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

substitute

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{x}$

Simplify

$x=(2*3)=6\ units$

Find the value of y

In the right triangle of the figure we know that

The sine of angle of 30 degrees is equal to the opposite side to angle of 30 degrees divide by the hypotenuse

$sin(30\°)=\frac{y}{x}$

and remember that

$sin(30\°)=\frac{1}{2}$

substitute

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{y}{6}$

$y=6/2=3\ units$

Part 4) Find the value of x

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

$x^{2} =18^{2} +18^{2} \\ \\x^{2} = 324+324\\ \\x^{2}=648\\ \\x=\sqrt{648}\ units$

Simplify

$x=18\sqrt{2}\ units$

Bob and mark talk about their families. Bob says he has 3 kids, the product of their ages is 72. He gives another clue: the sum

pychu [463]

I can only give possible combination of the ages. Had the sum of the ages been given, then the 3 specific numbers would have been derived.

We need to do prime factorization of 72.

72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2= 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
3 ÷ 1 = 1

1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72

Possible combinations:

1 x 8 x 9 = 72 1 + 8 + 9 = 18
1 x 4 x 18 = 72 1 + 4 + 18 = 23
2 x 4 x 9 = 72 2 + 4 + 9 = 15
3 x 4 x 6 = 72 3 + 4 + 6 = 13
