Answer:

9 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ages of all of these students are being represented in relation to the middle student's age then we can create formulas for each student and then apply them to the formula for the sum of their ages and solve for the middle child's age (M) like so... (oldest child's age is represented by variable O and youngest child's age is represented by variable Y)

O = M + 6

Y = M - 3

30 = (M+6) + M + (M-3)  ... combine like terms

30 = 3M + 3  ... subtract 3 from both sides

27 = 3M  ... divide both sides by 3

9 = M

Now we know that the middle child is 9 years old.

Answer:

\sqrt{37}

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance d between a point (m , n ) and a line in the form

Ax + By + C = 0 , is calculated as

d = \frac{|Am+Bn+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2} }

Here (m, n ) = (6, 2 ) and

6x - y = - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

6x - y + 3 = 0 → A = 6, B = - 1, C = 3

d = \frac{|6(6)+-1(2)+3|}{\sqrt{6^2+(-1)^2} }

   = \frac{|36-2+3|}{\sqrt{36+1} }

   = \frac{|37|}{\sqrt{37} }

   = \frac{37}{\sqrt{37} } × \frac{\sqrt{37} }{\sqrt{37} }

   = \frac{37\sqrt{37} }{37} ← cancel 37 on numerator/ denominator

   = \sqrt{37}

Please explain the answer​
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The side lengths satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, so the triangle is a right triangle.

  7.5² +10² = 12.5²

  56.25 +100 = 156.25

_____

You may recognize that the ratios of side lengths are ...

  7.5 : 10 : 12.5 = 3 : 4 : 5

A 3-4-5 triangle is a well-known right triangle, as this is the smallest set of integers that satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. They also happen to be consecutive integers, so form an arithmetic sequence. Any arithmetic sequence that satisfies the Pythagorean theorem will have these ratios.

_____

If you're familiar with trigonometry, you know the law of cosines tells you ...

  c² = a² + b² - 2ab·cos(θ) . . . . where θ is the angle between sides a and b. This reduces to the Pythagorean theorem when θ=90°, which makes cos(θ)=0. If the sides do not satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, cos(θ)≠0 and the triangle is not a right triangle.

What number am I?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The numbers less that 40 which have sum of digits 8 are 17, 26, 35.

Only one of those that has a factor of 7. And that is 35.

So you are 35.

Second way:

The numbers less that 40 which have a factor of 7 are 7,14,21,28,35

Only one of those which has sum of digits as 8. And that is 35.

So you are 35.
