Question 3 1 pts
Which number could be used as a counterexample to show that the conjecture
"All multiples of 3 are odd" is false?
12
027
O 33
O 15

The correct answer is A. 12

Explanation:

In mathematics, odd numbers are those numbers that cannot be divided into 2 without using a decimal number, for example, 13 ÷ 2 = 2.5 (decimal number). This does not occur with even numbers such as 26 because these can be divided into 2 and the result is an integer rather than a decimal (26 ÷ 2 =13).

On the other hand, a counterexample is a situation that shows an exception to the rule. In the rule "All multiples of 3 are odd", one counterexample is the number 12 because this is an even number (12 ÷2 = 6). Moreover, this number is a multiply of 3 as 3 can be multiplied by 4 to obtain 12, which shows multiplies of 3 can be even numbers.

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
