The sum of three certain consecutive numbers is 240. Find the three numbers. [Hint: Let x stand for the smallest number. Since t

Write an equation based on the problem in the terms of x and solve the equation
first number + second number + third number = 240
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 240
3x + 3 = 240
3x = 240 - 3
3x = 237
  x = 237/3
  x = 79
The smallest number, x, is equal to 79

Find the next two numbers
the second number = x + 1
the second number = 79 + 1
the second number = 80

the third number = x + 2
the third number = 79 + 2
the third number = 81

ANSWER: The three numbers are 79, 80, 81

1 & 2) what are the surface areas? please explain.
mote1985 [20]
To find the surface area of a cylinder, use the formula SA = 2(pi)(radius^2) + 2(pi)(radius)(height).

So now, plug in what you know.

SA = 2(3.14)(5^2) + 2(3.14)(5)(9)
SA = (6.28)(25) + (6.28)(45)
SA = 157 + 282.6
SA = 439.6 square cm

439.6 square cm is your surface area
