Answer:

The remainder would be 1 or 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the 5 consecutive positive integers are,

x,  x + 1,  x + 2,  x + 3,  x + 4,

Average =\frac{\text{Sum of all observation}}{\text{Number of observations}}

Since, the average of these 5 numbers = \frac{x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4}{5}

=\frac{5x+10}{5}

= x + 2

If x + 2 = odd,

⇒ x = odd - 2 = odd - even = odd

⇒ x + 4 = odd + even = odd

∵ an odd number is represented by '2n + 1'

Where, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, ........

Now, 2n + 1 = 1( mod 4) if n = even

While, 2n + 1 = 3( mod 4) if n = odd,

Hence, when the largest of the five integers is divided by 4 remainder would be 1 or 3.

What is the surface area of the triangular prism?
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

72 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the area of each face and then sum them.

area of base = 4 × 5 = 20 ft²

area of back = 5 × 3 = 15 ft²

area of sloping face = 5 × 5 = 25 ft²

area of 2 triangular faces = 2 × \frac{1}{2} × 4 × 3 = 4 × 3 = 12 ft²

Thus

surface area = 20 + 15 + 25 + 12 = 72 ft²

The fraction is 1/3. on the input side, it’s going up by one, (6,7,8 etc) and on the output side it’s going up by 3. (18+3=21). if u were to double check 6/18 reduces to 1/3! so the answer is 1/3
