Hey there!

One way to do this is find all the factors of 6 and then see which pair fit the requirements.

The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. (Note: There can be negative factors, but I am going to leave them out since it is asking for positive integers.)

You can find them by asking if each number can go into 6.

1, 2, 3, and 6 all go into 6, while 4 and 5 do not.

The requirements we have is that they must be consecutive <u>and</u> have a product of 6.

Consecutive means right after one another.

The only numbers that fit this are 2 and 3.

2 x 3 = 6

Hope this helps!

Answer:

2,3

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive means in a row, so x and x+1

x(x+1) = 6

Distribute

x^2 +x = 6

Subtract 6 from each side

x^2 +x - 6 =0

Factor

(x+3) (x-2) =0

Using the zero product property

x=-3, x=2

We only want positive integers

x=2

x+1 =3

After painting his porch jamil has 1/4 of a can of paint remaining the can has a radius of 8cm and a height of 20cm he wants to

ozzi

Answer:

12.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius of the can is 8 cm and height is 20 cm.

It is given that after painting his porch Jamil has $\frac{1}{4}$ of a can of paint remaining. So, first we need to find the total amount of paint in the can.

Total amount of paint in the can is $\text{Base area}\times\text{height}$

So, paint in the can $=\pi r^{2}\times h$

$=\pi (8)^{2}\times 20$

Now $\frac{1}{4}$ of the can is $\frac{1}{4}\times \pi (8)^{2}\times 20$

$=320\pi$ cubic cm.

Now, let the height of the smaller can be <em>h</em> cm.

Radius of the smaller can is 5 cm.

As, the paint is poured into the smaller can the volume of both the cans will be same.

$\pi (5)^{2}\times h=320\pi$

$h=\frac{320\pi}{25\pi}$

$h=12.8$

Hence, height of the smaller can to hold the paint must be 12.8 cm.

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h3>1.</h3>

The little square box in the corner between the vertical line and the horizontal one is a symbol indicating that angle is a right angle. It has a measure of 90°. The angles designated 1 and 2 together add up to that 90°. When angles sum to the value 90°, they are called "complementary" angles.

Since angles 1 and 2 also share a side and a vertex, they are also "adjacent" angles.

The appropriate choices are ...

complementary angles
adjacent angles

___

The same lines define the sides of angles 1 and 2, and they share a vertex. However, they are not adjacent. They are ...

vertical angles

___

The angles marked 157° and x° together add up to make a line, so they are supplementary (their total is 180°). They also share a vertex and a side, so they are adjacent. The appropriate choices are ...

supplementary angles
adjacent angles

___

When two angles total 180°, they are <em>supplementary</em>, whether they have any common parts or not. Since 98° + 82° = 180°, ...

The angles are supplementary
