Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cos a = 3 /5

From trigonometry ;

Cos θ = Adjacent / hypotenus

Side Adjacent angle a = 3 = FD

Hypotenus = 5 = DE

3 / 5 = FD / DE

FD = 6 units

3/5 = 6/DE

DE * 3/5 = 6

DE = 6 ÷ 3/5

DE = 6 * 5 /3

DE = 30 /3

DE = 10 units

Daniel [21]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf 4\frac{1}{8} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf =\frac{5}{8} - (-\frac{7}{2} )\\\\Rule : ( - *- = +)\\\\\=\frac{5}{8} +\frac{7}{2} \\\\LCM = 8\\\\\=\frac{5+28}{8} \\\\\=\frac{33}{8} \\\\=4\frac{1}{8}$

$\sf =\frac{5}{8}+ \frac{7}{2} \\\\=\frac{5+28}{8}$

$\sf =\frac{33}{8} \\\\=4\frac{1}{8}$

The sum of 5 consecutive integers is 265. What is the fifth number in this sequence ?

Yanka [14]

Hello,
Let's assume n,n+1,n+2,n+3,n+4 the 5 numbers

n+(n+1)+...+(n+4)=5n+10=265
5n=265-10
5n=255
n=51
The 5th number is 51+4=55
