The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 284. Write an equation and solve to find the two integers.

We need to understand how to set up the equation to solve this. If they are consecutive odd integers, that means they're two odd numbers that are next to each other, like 3 and 5 or 27 and 29. There's always a two-integer difference between the two numbers since they're both odd, so we'll use that to set up our equation. Let's make the smaller integer x. That will make the larger integer x+2, since there is a difference between them of 2. That means our equation is x+x+2=284 or 2x+2=284. When we subtract 2 from each side and then divide by two, we'll get x=141, the first integer. That means the two integers are 141 and 143.

Triangle ABC is transformed to create triangle MNL?​
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The transformation is rigid because the corresponding side lengths and angles are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have congruent triangles (not similar triangles), they will have to have the same length and angles throughout your transformation. Therefore, our answer is the 1st Option.

Answer:

Yes, the shapes are similar. Note, the angles are equivalent and the sides are scales of each other satisfying the requirements for similarly.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a shape to be similar there are two conditions that must be met. (1) Must have equivalent angles (2) Sides must be related by a scalar.

In the two triangles presented, the first condition is met since each triangle has three angles, 90-53-37.

To test if the sides are scalar, each side must be related to a corresponding side of the other triangle with the same scalar.

9/6 = 3/2

12/8 = 3/2

15/10 = 3/2

Alternatively:

6/9 = 2/3

8/12 = 2/3

10/15 = 2/3

Since the relationship of the sides is the scalar 3/2 (Alternatively 2/3), then we can say the triangles meet the second condition.

Given that both conditions are satisfied, then we can say these triangles are similar.

Note, this is a "special case" right triangle commonly referred to as a 3-4-5 right triangle.

Cheers.
