Let us assume the smallest of the three consecutive integers = x
Then
The middle integer among the three consecutive integers will be = x + 1
The biggest integer among the three consecutive integers will be = x + 2
The sum of the three consecutive integers is already given in the question and it is -165.
Then
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = - 165
3x + 3 = - 165
3x = - 165 - 3
3x = - 168
x = - (168/3)
   = - 56
So the integer that is closest to zero is - 56. This is the answer you were looking for hopefully. The other integers will obviously be at a greater distance from zero.

A shooting star forms a right triangle with the Earth and the Sun, as shown below:
frez [133]

The positions of the sun, earth and shooting star form a right angled triangle, where distance between earth and sun is 'y', and the angle 'x°' is given

Now, in a right angled triangle using trigonometry, we can determine a side of the triangle is one of the sides and one of the angles is known

Here, if we use cos x = \frac{Base}{Hypotenuse} we can determine the distance between the shooting star and the sun. This can be done because we know that the base is 'y', the angle is x° and the hypotenuse represents the distance between the sun and the shooting star

Note: cos values for each x are definite.
