Answer:
(7, 24, 26)
Step-by-step explanation:
A Pythagorean triple must have an odd number of even numbers. The triple (7, 24, 26) is not a Pythagorean triple.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
For an odd integer n, a triple can be formed as ...
(n, (n²-1)/2, (n²+1)/2)
That is, the following will be Pythagorean triples.
- (3, 4, 5)
- (5, 12, 13)
- (7, 24, 25)
- (9, 40, 41)
- (11, 60, 61)
Another series involves even numbers and numbers separated by 2:
(2n, n²-1, n²+1)
- (8, 15, 17)
- (12, 35, 37)
- (16, 63, 65)
In this list, if n is not a multiple of 2, the triple will be a multiple of one from the odd-number series.
It is a good idea to remember a few of these, as they tend to show up in Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry problems.
Answer:
It is subtracting 4 each time, if it were to go on it would go -16 -20 -24 -28 -32 -36 -40 -44 -48 -52 etc
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
length = 78 m , width = 27 m
Step-by-step explanation:
let w represent width then length l = 3w - 3
the perimeter (P) is calculated as
P = 2l + 2w = 210 , substitute values
2(3w - 3) + 2w = 210 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
6w - 6 + 2w = 210
8w - 6 = 210 ( add 6 to both sides )
8w = 216 ( divide both sides by 8 )
w = 27 and l = 3(27) - 3 = 81 - 3 = 78
Then length = 78 m and width = 27 m
