Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of two consecutive odd numbers equals 55 plus ten times the even number which is between them. Find the even number.​

Let the two odd consecutive integer be x and x+2

Let the even number between then be x+1

If the product of two consecutive odd numbers equals 55 plus ten times the even number, then;

(x)(x+2) = 55 + 10(x+1)

Expand

x² + 2x = 55 + 10x + 10

x² -8x -65 = 0

x² - 13x+5x - 65 = 0

x(x-13)+5(x- 13) = 0

(x-13) (x+5) = 0

x = 13 and -5

Since the even number is x + 1

Even number = 13 + 1 = 14

Given m||n, find the value of x.<br> kt<br> (7-10)<br> (6x-5)°
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

So, leets look at the graph.

We can see that the lines being solved for tecnically make up 180 degrees.

This is because the value of the angles on line m are equal to the value of the angles on line n.

So, we know that the total line, 180 degrees, is 7x-10, and 6x-5.

Lets combine these two equations, and subtract them from 180 degrees to solve for x:

7x-1+6x-5

=

13x-15

Now to solve for x:

13x-15=180

Add 15 to both sides to get 13x alone:

13x=195

Then divide both sides by 13 to get x alone:

x=15

So our value of x is 15!

Hope this helps! :)

Work out the perimeter of a semicircle with radius 3 cm.<br>Give your answer in terms .
Klio2033 [76]
Answer:
perimeter = 15.42 cm

Explanation:
Semi-circle is defined as half a circle.
The formula used to compute the perimeter of the semi circle is:
perimeter = πr + 2r
where:
π is a constant = 3.14
r is the radius =  3 cm

Substitute with the givens in the above formula to get the perimeter as follows:
perimeter = π(3) + 2(3)
perimeter = 3π + 6
perimeter = 3(3.14) + 6
perimeter = 15.42 cm

Hope this helps :)

There is 900 degrees in a hexagon so you have to add up all the sides you already know and subtract 900 minus all the degrees you added then when you get your answer you can see that there is a supplementary line connecting to the hexagon and we know that a line is 180 degrees so you then subtract 180 with the degree you just found:)
