Let the smallest number equal n. Therefore, the other numbers are (n+2) and (n+4).

The sum of the three numbers are:

n + (n+2) + (n+4)

=3n+6

Since the sum equals 78, 

3n+6=78

Divide both sides by 3, 

n+2=26

n=24

Therefore, the smallest number is 24.

Vikentia [17]

Answer: 70 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

height of book is measured by the function is

h(x)=-5(x+2)(x-7)

when the book is thrown x=0

\therefore h(x=0)=-5(0+2)(0-7)\\\Rightarrow h(x=0)=70\ ft

The height of the book is 70\ ft

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided figure and information, we are going to calculate the requested measure, so we obtain the following:

We can see that the triangle is a right triangle, so we can use the trigonometric ratios.

So, we know an angle, the hypotenuse of the triangle and we want to find its opposite leg, therefore the trigonometric ratio that we must use is the sine since it relates these three measures, and we obtain:

sin\lparen35)=\frac{h}{95}

Now, let's solve for h:

\begin{gathered} h=sin\left(35\right?\times95 \\ h\approx54.5ft \end{gathered}

Finally we obtain that the correct answer is the third option.
