Answer:

13.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

hyp² = (2nd longest side)² + (shortest side)².  Here the numbers are:

(24 cm)² = (20 cm)² + (shortest side)², or

576 - 400 = 176 = hyp²

Taking the square root of both sides, we get (shortest side) = 13.3 cm

The least of 3 consecutive integers is a, and the greatest is z. What is the value of a + 2z/ 2 in terms of a?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The value of a + 2z/ 2 in terms of a is (3a+4)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

least of 3 consecutive integers is a, and the greatest is z

if a is the least one

we know that integers differ by value of 1.

example -2, -1, 0, 1,2

they all differ by

then next consecutive integer will be a+1

third integer will be  second integer +1 = a+1 + 1 = a+2

Thus, 3 consecutive integer

a , a+1, a+2

but given that greatest is z

thus, a+2 is greatest and hence

a+2 = z

we have to find   value of a + 2z/ 2 in terms of a

a + 2z/ 2 = a + 2(a+2)/2 = (a+ 2a +4)/2 = (3a+4)/2.

The value of a + 2z/ 2 in terms of a is (3a+4)/2
