Answer:

3 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive odd integers be x and x + 2.

Now,

The given statement is

$x^2 + 3 \times (x+2)=24\\x^2 + 3x+6-24 = 0 \\x^2 + 3x-18 = 0\\x^2+6x-3x-18=0\\x(x+6)-3(x+6)=0\\(x-3)(x+6)=0\\x=3,-6$

Taking x=3.

Hence, two consecutive odd integers are 3 and 5.

Segment BD is an altitude of triangle ABC. Find the area of the triangle.

Sever21 [200]

Answer: The correct option is A, i.e., 7.5.

Explanation:

It is given that ABC is a triangle and BD is an altitude.

Since BD is an altitude, therefore the height of the triangle is BD and the base of the triangle is AC.

The distance formula to find the distance between two points is,

$D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

First, we find BD, where B(-1,4) and D(2,4).

$BD=\sqrt{(2+1)^2+(4-4)^2}=\sqrt{9} =3$

So, the height of the triangle is 3.

Now, we find the value of AC, where A(2,1) and C(2,6).

$AC=\sqrt{(6-1)^2+(2-2)^2}=\sqrt{25} =5$

So, the base of the triangle is 5.

The formula to find the area of a triangle is,

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times {\text{base}}\times {\text{height}}$

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times 5\times 3=\frac{15}{2}=7.5$

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 7.5 unit square and the correct option is A.

The diagram below shows 5 identical bowls stacked one inside the other. The height of 1 bowl is 2 inches. The height of 5 bowls

padilas [110]

(Bowls, Height) (1, 2) (5,5)

Slope is (5-2)/(5-1) = 3/4 inch
y = (3/4)x + b
(2) = (3/4)(1) + b
(2)-(3/4) = b

B=1.25. Y= 0.75*x + 1.25.

Part B
X is the number of bowls in the stack and Y is the corresponding height of the stack.
