Step-by-step explanation:

If y is largest number, you want y, and the two next smaller even integers smaller than y - i.e. y, y-2, and y-4

The sum of these is y + (y-2) + (y-4).

This simplifies to 3y - 6 or 3(y - 2)

Since we don’t know what y is, this is as far as we can solve the problem.

$\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}$

We have given a right angled triangle whose values are m, n and 2

$\bold{\underline{ To \: Find :- }}$

We have to find the value of m and n

$\bold{\underline{ Let's \: Begin :- }}$

In the given right angled triangle, we have

Perpendicular height = n units
Base = 2 units
Hypotenuse = m units

Now, By using trigonometric ratios 

$\bold{\pink{ Sin Φ = }}{\bold{\pink{\frac{Perpendicular }{Hypotenuse}}}}$

$\bold{\red{ Cos Φ = }}{\bold{\red{\frac{Base}{Hypotenuse }}}}$

$\bold{\blue { tan Φ = }}{\bold{\blue{\frac{Perpendicular }{Base }}}}$

According to the question :-

$\bold{ Cos \: 45° = }{\bold{\frac{2}{m}}}$

$\bold{ 1/√2= }{\bold{\frac{2}{m}}}$

$\bold{\red{ m = 2√2 \: units }}$

We know that , Sum of Angles of triangle is 180° .

Therefore, 

Let the unknown angle be x

$\sf{ 45° + x + 90° = 180° }$

$\sf{ x = 180° - 135 ° }$

$\sf{ x = 45° }$

Now, 

$\bold{ Cos \: x° = }{\bold{\frac{n}{2√2}}}$

$\bold{ Cos \: 45° = }{\bold{\frac{n}{2√2}}}$

$\bold{ 1/√2= }{\bold{\frac{n}{2√2}}}$

$\bold { n = 2√2/√2 }$

$\bold{\red{ n = 2\: units }}$

Thus, The value of m = 2√2 and n = 2

$\sf{\blue{ Hence, \: option \: D \: is \: Correct }}$

Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

since we know inflation is 3.7%, what is 3.7% of 1.69?

well is just (3.7/100) * 1.69.

that's how much the quart of oil costs more now. So simply add that to 1.69.

trapecia [35]

Don't you mean 66 divided by eight?

That would equal 8.25, or 8 remainder 2.

if you did mean 8 divided by 66, your answer is not one of your choices.
