Two consecutive odd integers have a sum of 32. Find the integers.

bezimeni [28]

Let
x = first consecutive odd
x + 2 = second consecutive odd

Based on the problem, we equate
x + (x + 2) = 32
Solving for x,
2x + 2 = 32
2x = 32 - 2
2x = 30
x = 30/2
x = 15
and x + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17

Therefore, the integers are 15 and 17.

A blue jay lives in a nest that is 12 meters high in a tree the blue jay flies 15 meters to get from its nest to a flower on the

Ivan

Answer:

The distance between the base of the tree and the flower is 9m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have to paint a picture.

The flower is on the ground, the height of the tree is 12m.

The distance from the nest to the flower on the floor is 15m

Indisputably, what we have is a right angled triangle, with the height being 12m, the length of the hypotenuse being 15 and we are asked to calculate the adjacent which represents the distance from the base of the tree to the flower

To get this distance, we simply apply the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse(longest side of the triangle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Thus mathematically, we know that our hypotenuse is 15m and the height is 12m

The length we are to calculate is the adjacent and it is equal to;

15^2 - 12^2

= 225 - 144

= 81

The length is thus

√(81) = 9m
