Consecutive integers are numbers that follow after each other. So 1,2,3,4,5 are consecutive integers

We need 3 consecutive integers that is 72. Note the word is means =

We can set this up like the following: 
x  + (x + 1) + (x+2) = 72
Now combine like terms
x +x + x = 3x
1 + 2  =  3

3x + 3 = 72
Solve for x
3x + 6 = 72
3x = 72 - 3
3x = 69
3x / 3 = 69 / 3
x = 23


Now that we have solved for the first x, which is 23, we plug this into (x + 1) and (x + 2) to solve the other numbers we need

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 72

(x + 1) = (23 + 1) = 24
(x + 2) = (23 + 2) = 25


So we have the following:

x = 23
(x + 1) = (23 + 1) = 24
(x + 2) = (23 + 2) = 25

Our answers are 23, 24, 25, which are consecutive number and when you add them, they = 72

-----------------------------------------
Define x :
-----------------------------------------
Let the smallest number be x.
The other two numbers will be x + 1 and x + 2.

-----------------------------------------
Construct Equation :
-----------------------------------------
Sum of these numbers is 72
⇒ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72

-----------------------------------------
Solve for x :
-----------------------------------------
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72
3x + 3 = 72
3x = 69
x = 23

-----------------------------------------
Find the numbers :
-----------------------------------------
1st number = x = 23
2nd number = x + 1 = 23 + 1 = 24
3rd number = x + 2 = 23 + 2 = 25

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer : The numbers are 23, 24 and 25.

3) 6 x 3 = 18 + 1/2 x 12 x 15 = 90 = 90+ 18 = 108ft^2

4) = 12 x 12 = 144 + 4x4 = 16 +12 x 4 = 48 = 144+12+48 = 204m^2

5) = 8 x 12 = 96 + 1/2 x 4 x 6 = 12 = 108ft^2

6) = 3x 3 = 9  + pi3^2 =  28.2743339 (x2) =56.5486678 + 9 = 65.5m^2

proves 4 semi circles = 2 circles

7) 10 x 8 = 80 +4 x 4 = 16 + 1/2 x 2 x 4 = 4 = 20+80= 100ft^2

proves 14-8-4 = 2ft is the triangle length and 10-6 = 4 the triangle height.

8) 4x6 = 24 + 1/2 x 4 x 2 = 4 + pi 4^2 = 1/2 x 50.2654825 = 24+4 + 25.1329 = 53.1m^2
