Use the Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²


c = hypotenuse (which means) = 53

a and b are equal to the side length
So a = 21.

Use the formula and solve.
21² + b² = 53²
441 + b² = 2809
b² = 2368
b = 48.66210024238575 or 8√37

Find three consecutive integers such that the sum of the largest and 5 times the smallest is -244. URGENT
Bad White [126]

Answer:

-39+5(-41)=244

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider 3 consecutive integers: (smallest) x, x+1 and x+2 (largest)

Five times the smallest means 5x

Sum of the largest and five times the smallest means x+2+5x

This sum is -244 means x+2+5x=-244

Solve this equation

x+2+5x=-244

6x+2=-244

6x=-244-2

6x=-246

x=-41

So, smallest number is -41, second is -40 and largest is -39

= -39+5(-41)=244

Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D
