<u>We are given:</u>
An even number 'n', multiplied by the next consecutive even number is 168
<u>Solving for n:</u>
From the given statement, we can say that:
n(n+2) = 168 [<em>n multiplied by the next even number 'n+2'</em>]
n² + 2n = 168
n² + 2n - 168 = 0 [<em>subtracting 168 from both sides</em>]
We can see that we now have a quadratic equation, solving using splitting the middle term
n² + 14n - 12n - 168 = 0
n(n + 14) -12(n + 14) = 0 <em>[factoring out common terms</em>]
(n-12)(n+14) = 0
Here, we can divide both sides by either (n-12) OR (n+14)
Checking the result in both the cases:
(n + 14) = 0/(n-12) (n-12) = 0/(n+14)
n + 14 = 0 n - 12 = 0
n = -14 n = 12
Both these values are even and since we are not told if the number 'n' is positive or negative, both 12 and -14 are the possible values of n
A box or square is drawn on the right angle triangle to show that it is a right triangle
Answer:
B. 40 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
— Estimating
The rectangle enclosing the path has sides of length 9 m and 14 m, so its perimeter is 2(9+14) = 46 m. The distance covered will be shorter than that.
The distance from A to C is longer than the distance from D to C, so we know the distance will be longer than 2·14+9 = 37 m.
Only one answer choice fits in the range 37 < d < 46.
____
— Detailed calculation
The distance from B to C is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 9 and 12. You will recognize that these side lengths are 3 times the side lengths of a 3-4-5 right triangle, so the hypotenuse distance is 3·5 = 15 meters.
The circuit length is ...
AB +BC +CD +DA = 2 + 15 + 14 + 9 = 40 . . . . meters
