Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive odd numbers be represented by x and x+2. Therefore,

x × (x+2) = 483

x² + 2x = 483

x² + 2x - 483 = 0

x² + 23x - 21x - 483 = 0

x(x + 23) - 21(x + 23) = 0

(x - 21) = 0

x = 0 + 21

x = 21

The smaller integer is 21

The larger integer is 21 + 2 = 23.

Identify the volume of the composite figure. HELP PLEASE!!

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Vol. of the composite figure is 189 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the volume of the larger figure by mult. together its 3 dimensions:

V = (9 m)(8 m)(3 m) = 216 m³.

Next, find the volume of the "notch," which is (3 m)³, or 27 m³.

Finally, subtract the "notch" volume from the 216 m³ volume found earlier:

216 m³ - 27 m³ = 189 m³

Triangle TRS is similar to triangle TMN. Angle T = 40°, angle R = 60°, and angle S = 80° . What is the measure of angle M

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

60degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

For similar triangles, the angles of their angles are equal to matter the size.

Hence if triangle TRS is similar to triangle TMN, then;

<R = <M and <S = <N

Given that;

<T = 40 degrees

<R = 60degrees

<S = 80 degrees

Since <R = <M, then <M = 60degrees
