X+(x+1)+(x+2)=63
3x+3=63
3x=60
x=20
Consecutive integers are: 20, 21, 22
Answer: 22

This problem states that the sum of 3 consecutive integers is 63 and it asks us to find the largest integer.

Three consecutive integers can be represented as followed.

X → first integer

X + 1 → second integer

X + 2 → third integer

Since the sum of our three consecutive integers is 24, we can write an equation.

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 63

We can simplify our equation on the left and it will read...

<h2>3x + 3 = 63</h2><h2> -3 -3</h2><h2></h2><h2>3x = 60</h2><h2> ÷3 ÷3 ← divide both sides by 3</h2><h2></h2><h2>X = 20</h2><h2></h2><h2>Largest integer = X + 2</h2><h2>20 + 2 = 22</h2><h2></h2><h2>Largest integer = 22</h2>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is the length of the square side.

We know: the two figures have the same area

<=> $x^{2}$ = π $r^{2}$ (r being radius)

<=> x = $\sqrt{II}$ r

perimeter square = 4x = 4*r* $\sqrt{II}$

perimeter circle = 2*r*π

<=> 390 = 4*r* $\sqrt{II}$ + 2*r*π

<=> r = 29.16

=> perimeter square = 4*29.16*π

=> perimeter circle = 58.32π

Answer:

Angles 1 and 3 are congruent as vertical angles; angles 3 and 7 are congruent as corresponding angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

<1 and <3 are vertical angles because they are formed by the same lines and are opposite each other . 3 and 7 are corresponding angles because they are in the same position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others. Since the lines are parallel, they are equal That makes 1 and 7 equal
