The sum of three consecutive numbers is 72. what are the smallest of these numbers?

2 answers:

8 0

Because the needed numbers are consecutive their average will be the middle number. Knowing this, just divide 72 by three, which would equal 24. 24 would be the middle number so, 23+24+25=72. The smallest of these is 23.

72:3=24
24-1=23
24+1=25

23+24+25=72
23 is the smallest

If mC = 90°, side c = 29, and side a = 21, then side b = 18.

Triss [41]

The 3 sides should obey the Pythagorean Theorem
29^2 = 21^2 + 18^2
29^2 does not equal 441 + 324 = 765
29^2 = 841
