The sum of 6 consecutive even numbers is 270. What is the second number in this sequence?

1 answer:

4 0

Lets find all the numbers..

x (1st number)
x + 2 ( 2nd number)
x + 4 (3rd number)
x + 6 (4th number)
x + 8 (5th number)
x + 10 (6th number)

Now add all those expressions and set them equal to 270 because that is the total.

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 + x + 10 = 270
6x + 30 = 270
6x = 240
x = 40

Now we will substitute 40 for x in the expression of the second number.

x + 2
40 + 2
42

So the second number is 42

Hope this helps :)

the cross sectional area of a cylinder is 614 cm 2 the height is 8cm what is the volume of the cylinder

Elina [12.6K]

Answer: Volume of the cylinder = $4912\ cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cylinder = Area of base x height

Also, area of cross section = Area of base

Volume of cylinder = area of cross section x height

Given: Area of cross section = $614\ cm^2$

height = 8 cm

Volume of cylinder = 614 x 8

$= 4912 \ cm^2$

Hence, the volume of the cylinder = $4912\ cm^2$

Is it possible to form a triangle with side lengths 3.5 3.5, and 9? If so, will it be scalene, isosceles, or equilateral? Or non

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

It is not possible to draw a triangle with given measurements of 3.5, 3.5, and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scalene Triangle - All 3 sides have different lengths.

Isosceles Triangle - 2 sides have equal lengths.

Equilateral Triangle - All 3 sides have equal lengths.

You must be thinking that it would be Isosceles triangle, but it is not. The measurements you gave is 3.5, 3.5, and 9. Grab a piece of paper, ruler, and a pencil. First draw the length of 9 cm with your pencil and ruler (let us pretend that the measurements are in cm). Then draw 3.5 cm by placing your ruler on the end/start of your 9cm line that you drew before. Then, once again draw a 3.5 cm on the other end of the 9cm line. You will see something like the picture above. You can see that the two sides of the triangle are not intersecting on the top. This means that the triangle formation cannot be made by the given measurements of 3.5, 3.5, and 9.

I hope you understand my answer and this is an easy way to find if, from the given measurements, a triangle is able to be drawn. Thank you !!
