Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can list out each of the numbers' prime factors first before deciding their greatest common factor.

16: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

48: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

As you can see the bolded parts, these are the common factors of the two numbers. To find the greatest common factors, we just have to multiply all their common factors together.

Find two consecutive integers such that one fifth of the first less one-ninth of the second is 3. Pls answer.

mart [117]

Answer:

35 and 36

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we must interpret it line by line;

We are dealing with consecutive integers; these are integers with a difference of 1 between them.

let the first number = x

second number = x + 1

one - fifth of first;

$\frac{1}{5}$ x

one - ninth of the second;

$\frac{1}{9}$ (x + 1)

for the "less" ;

$\frac{1}{5}$ x - $\frac{1}{9}$ (x + 1) = 3

Multiply through by 45

45( $\frac{1}{5}$ x) - (45) $\frac{1}{9}$ (x + 1) = 3 x 45

9x - 5(x + 1) = 135

9x - 5x -5 = 135

4x = 135 + 5

4x = 140

x = 35

Now, x+1 = 35 + 1 = 36

The consecutive integers are 35 and 36

Given 3 sides of a triangle - how to tell it right, acute, or obtuse 8,11, 16

user100 [1]

Using Pythagorean theorem, we can justify our answer.
if c^2 = a^2 + b^2 then triangle is right one,
if c^2 > a^2 + b^2 then triangle is obtuse and
if c^2 < a^2 + b^2 then triangle is acute triangle.

Here a=8, b=11 and c=16
Put these values in the equation
16^2 = 8 ^2 + 11^2
256 = 64 +121
256> 185
So here c^2 > a^2 + b^2 Which means triangle is obtuse triangle.

Answer: Obtuse Triangle
