Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smallest one:

● x is the first number

● x+1 is the second number

● x+2 is the third number

The sum of these numbers is 276

● x+(x+1)+(x+2) =276

● x+x+1+x+2 = 276

● 3x + 3 = 276

Substract 3 from both sides:

● 3x+3-3 = 276-3

● 3x = 273

Divide both sides by 3

● (3x)/3 = 273/3

● x = 91

So the smallest one is 91

find the length of each isosceles right triangle when the hypotenuse is of the given measure given 8cm

Wewaii [24]

It is given that the triangle is isosceles right triangle . And in an isosceles right triangle the legs are equal . Let each leg be of x units. Now we use pythagorean identity, which is

$a^2 +b ^2=c^2$

$x^2 +x^2 = 8^2$

$2x^2 = 64$

$x^2 = 32$

$x = 4 \sqrt 2$

So the length of each leg is $4 \sqrt 2 .$
