Because otherwise the two circles you build wouldn't have any intersection!

You have to draw two circles, centered at the endpoints of the segment, and connect their intersection.

If the radii are less than half the length of the circle, the circles will have no interserction.

Can someone please help me with this? Preferably ASAP
adoni [48]
So  x is one number and x + 1 is another

1. x + x + 1 = 57;
2. 2x + 1 = 57;
           -1     -1
4. 2x = 56
5. x = 56/2
6. x = 28

So, x + 1 = 28 + 1 = 29
So 28 and 29 are the 2 consecutive integers of 57
