Don't you mean "the sum of the squares ..."?
The sum of the squares of two consecutive whole numbers is 25.  Find the numbers.  Let the first be represented by x and the second by x+1.
Then x^2+(x+1)^2=25.  Expanding, x^2+x^2+2x+1=25.
Rewriting this as a quadratic equation in standard form,

2x^2+2x+1=25, or 2x^2+2x-24=0.  Simplifying, x^2+x-12=0.
Factoring, (x-3)(x+4)=0.  Solving for x:  x-3=0, so x=3; x+4=0, so x=-4.
Choose the positive x value:  x=3.  Then the next consecutive number is 2+1=3+1=4.

Check:  Does 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2 = 25?  Yes.
The numbers are 3 and 4.

8 5/6 rounded to the nearest whole number
german

Answer: 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

8 5/6 is a mixed number with a whole number and a fraction. We want to round to the nearest whole number without the fraction.

First, we convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction or fraction like this:

((8 x 6)+5)/6 = 53/6

Then, we divide the numerator by the denominator from the previous step:

53/6 = 8.83

Now we have one decimal number. Round using the following rules:

If the number to the right of the decimal point is .5 or higher, then add 1 to the left of the decimal point.

If the number to the right of the decimal point is less than .5, then leave the number to the left of the decimal point as is.

.83 is .5 or higher. Thus, we add 1 to the left of the decimal point. 8 5/6 rounded to the nearest whole number is therefore the answer will be 9.
