Given:
Three numbers in an AP, all positive.
Sum is 21.
Sum of squares is 155.
Common difference is positive.

We do not know what x and y stand for.  Will just solve for the three numbers in the AP.
Let m=middle number, then since sum=21, m=21/3=7
Let d=common difference.
Sum of squares
(7-d)^2+7^2+(7+d)^2=155
Expand left-hand side
3*7^2-2d^2=155
d^2=(155-147)/2=4
d=+2 or -2
=+2  (common difference is positive)

Therefore the three numbers of the AP are
{7-2,7,7+2}, or
{5,7,9}

Triangle ABC was dilated by 50%. What is the relationship between AC and A'C'?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:      

The length of segment AC is two times the length of segment A'C'

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

A'C' ----> the length of segment A'C'

AC ----> the length of segment AC

so

z=\frac{A'C'}{AC}                        

we have that

z=50\%=50/100=\frac{1}{2} ---> the dilation is a reduction, because the scale factor is less than 1 and greater than zero

substitute

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{A'C'}{AC}                

AC=2A'C'

therefore

The length of segment AC is two times the length of segment A'C'

tom ate 1/4 of a pizza. He divided the leftover pizza into pieces each equal to 1/12 of the Original Pizza. After he gave some f
Bezzdna [24]
To make this easy let covert everything using a LCD.

The LCD of 1/4  1/12 and 1/6  is 12. This becomes...

Tom ate 3/12 of the pizza.
Leftover pizza = 9/12.
Slices were 1/12.
X friends got pizza.
Remaining pizza is 2/12.

if each friend got 1 piece(1/12)....
9/12(Leftovers) - 2/12(remaining)  = 7/12

So 7 friends got pizza.
