Answer:

The answer is

One:   28, 29, 30

Two: 75,77

Step-by-step explanation:

One

Let the three numbers be (x - 1) , x , and x + 1

(x - 1) + x + (x +1 ) - 12 =  75                Remove the brackets

x - 1 + x + x + 1 - 12 = 75                    Combine the like terms on the left

3x - 12 = 75                                       Add 12 to both sides

3x = 75 + 12

3x = 87                                              Divide by 3

x = 87/3

x = 29

Two

Let the first odd number = 2x -1

Let the second odd number = 2x + 1

2x - 1 + 2x + 1 + 18 = 170           Combine like terms on the left.

4x + 18 = 170                             Subtract 18 from both sides.

4x = 170 - 18                             Combine like terms on the right

4x = 152                                     Divide by 4

4x/4 = 152/4

x = 38

2 * 38 - 1 = 75

2 * 38 + 1 = 77

Solve each triangle using the information provided. If necessary, round to the<br> nearest tenth.
Goryan [66]

Answer:

1) B = 66.5° c = 10.9

Step-by-step explanation:

I will do question one as an example. In general, for these questions you want to use the appropriate trigonometric ratios to solve for the variables and/or apply logic using rules regarding triangles. See attached image for all solving steps.

For side c, we can use Cosine of angle A for a ratio between 10 and c. When we write out the equation, we can solve for side c. So when we write it out, we get the equation:

cos23.5 = ¹⁰⁄c

c = ¹⁰⁄cos₂₃.₅

c = 10.9044 (make sure to round to the nearest tenth, which is one decimal place)

For angle B, since they have given two angles, you can solve for B since all angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

So b = 180 - (90 + 23.5) = 180 - 113.5

b = 66.5

  • It is also possible to solve this using sine of angle B and solve it from there, but applying the theory this way is much simpler. (this is on the image if you're curious about it)

I hope this helps you with the other 3 questions.

Is 3 times 2/7 less than 3
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set up your proportion as \frac{3}{1} * \frac{2}{7} you then multiply across to get \frac{6}{7}. Since this number is less than 1, it's definitely less than 3.
