The length of a triangle are consecutive odd integers. The perimeter is 87cm. What is the length of the longest side

1 answer:

7 0

The integers will be 2n + 1, 2n + 3 and 2n + 5 where n >= 0 , so

2n + 2n + 2n + 1 + 3 + 5 = 87

6n = 78

n = 13

so the 3 lengths are 27, 29 and 31

So length of the longest side = 31 cms answer

The expression (1/50)(sqrt(1/50)+sqrt(2/50)+sqrt(3/50)+...+sqrt(50/50) is a Riemann Sum approximation for

alexira [117]

$\dfrac1{50}\left(\sqrt{\dfrac1{50}}+\sqrt{\dfrac2{50}}+\cdots+\sqrt{\dfrac{50}{50}}\right)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{50}\sqrt{\dfrac n{50}}\frac1{50}$

describes a sum of the areas of 50 rectangles, each of width $\dfrac1{50}$ , and the $n$ th rectangle has height $\sqrt{\dfrac n{50}}$ .

$\sqrt{\dfrac n{50}}$ ranges from a small positive number to 1, which means the integration interval must be $[0,1]$ . The sum is then the right-endpoint Riemann sum of $\sqrt x$ over the interval with $50$ equally spaced subintervals, so

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{50}\sqrt{\dfrac n{50}}\frac1{50}\approx\int_0^1\sqrt x\,\mathrm dx$

The sum itself evaluates to roughly 0.676, while the exact value of the integral is $\dfrac23\approx0.667$ .

write the equation of the line in standard form that passes through the origin and is parallel to x + y equals 6

horsena [70]

Answer: $x+y=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line slope-intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Where m is the slope and b is the y-interecept.

The standard form is:

$Ax+By=C$

You know that must be parallel to $x+y=6$ , therefore both have the same slope. So you must solve for y:

$y=-x+6$

Substitute the slope m=-1. Since the line passes through the origin b=0:

$y=-x$

Then in standar form is:

$x+y=0$

The ratio of the base edges of two similar pyramids is 3:4. The volume of the larger pyramid is 320 in3. What is the volume of t

Andre45 [30]

Use similar volume to calculate
which is the (ratio of edges)^3 = (ration of volume)
so just put the numbers in, let the volume of smaller pyramid be y.
(3/4)^3 = y/320
27/64 = y/320
y=135in3

Determine the intercepts of the line. y=−2x−21

yuradex [85]

Hi there!

Let's first determine the x-intercept. When dealing with an x-intercept we must realise the y-coordinates equal 0.

$y = - 2x - 21 \\ y = 0 \\ \\ - 2x - 21 = 0$
Add 21 to both sides.

$- 2x = 21$
Divide both sides by -2.

$x = \frac{21}{2} = 10 \frac{1}{2}$
Therefore, the x-intercept is the point (10 1/2; 0).

--------------------------------------
Now let's continue with the y-intercept, which is easier. When dealing with an y-intercept we must realise the x-coordinates equal 0.

$y = - 2x - 21 \\ x = 0 \\ \\ y = - 2 \times 0 - 21 = - 21$
Therefore, the y-intercept is the point (0; -21).
