4 0

Answer:

27, 29, 31, 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smallest odd integer then...

x+2 represents the second

x+4 represents the third

x+6 represents the fourth

We can use this to set up an equation:

x+x+2+x+4+x+6=120

Combine like terms

4x+12=120

Subtract 12 from both sides

4x=108

Divide both sides by 2

x=27

The integers are 27, 29, 31, 33

Find the measure of the missing side. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. (PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM)

Burka [1]

Answer:

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the length of the missing side is 5.4 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Pythagorean theorem, $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$ , where c is the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side), a and b are the lengths of the other two sides. We can use this to solve for the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle shown in your question (the missing side):

$2^{2}+5^{2}=c^{2}$

This simplifies to $29=c^{2}$ . Now to solve for c (the length of the hypotenuse), we just take the square root of both sides of the equation and solve like so:
