Answer:

79, 80, 81

Step-by-step explanation:

Creating an equation.

let a = first number , a + 1 = second number and a + 2 = third number

the sum of these three consecutive numbers is 240

this means that , a + ( a + 1 ) + ( a + 2 ) = 240

Solving for x using the equation created.

a + ( a + 1 ) + ( a + 2 ) = 240

==> remove parenthesis

a + a + 1 + a + 2 = 240

==> combine like terms

3a + 3 = 240

==> subtract 3 from both sides

3a = 237

==> divide both sides by 3

a = 79

Finding the 3 numbers

First number = a

a = 79 so first = 79

Second number = a + 1

a = 79 so second number = 79 + 1 = 80

Third number = a + 2

a = 79 so third number = 79 + 2 = 81

The three numbers are 79, 80 and 81

Answer:

The surface area of the triangular prism is 84 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a figure is exactly what it means, the area of its outer surface or the added areas of each face that makes the figure.

Nets are a way to find surface area easier because it is an outline of the faces of the 3d figure.

But since we don’t have a net, we will just find the area of each face that forms this right triangular prism:

The two congruent triangular bases:

1/2 x 4 x 3 = 6 cm^2

6 x 2 = 12 cm^2

Lateral bottom rectangular face:

6 x 3 = 18 cm^2

Lateral to the right rectangular face:

5 x 6 = 30 cm^2

Lateral to the left rectangular face:

4 x 6 = 24 cm^2

Add up all the values:

12 + 18 + 30 + 24 = 84

The SA is 84 square centimeters

Matrix multiplication was used to encode a message using the given encoding matrix: [i 47 A=1 |-1 -3] The original message was c

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

$A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}-3&-4\\1&1\end{array}\right]$ message SHOW_ME_THE_MONEY_

Step-by-step explanation:

The matrix

$A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&4\\-1&-3\end{array}\right]\rightarrow |A|=(1 \times -3)-(-1\times 4)=1\\\rightarrow A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}-3&-4\\1&1\end{array}\right] \\$

We can check that in fact A*A^⁻1=I_2 the identity matrix of size 2 x 2.

Now the message was divided in 1 x 2 matrices, then we have that the sequence given is the result of multiplying m by A, so to get m again we multiply now by A^⁻1. and we get the next table

Encoded message Decoded message message in letters by association

11 52 19 8 S H

-8 -9 15 23 O W

-13 -39 0 13 _ M

5 20 5 0 E _

12 56 20 8 T H

5 20 5 0 E _

-2 7 13 15 M O

9 41 14 5 N E

25 100 25 0 Y _

Then the message decoded is SHOW_ME_THE_MONEY_
