1. if to use for consecutive odd numbers: n; n+2; n+4 and n+6), then it is possible to write their sum in equation: n+n+2+n+4+n+6=40.
2. if to solve this equation: n=7 it means that 7 - the 1st number of the given sequence.

<span>Let x = length </span>
<span>since the width is 3/4 of the length, </span>
<span>Let (3/4)x = width </span>

<span>Recall that the area of rectangle is just width multiplied by the length, </span>
<span>A = w * l </span>
<span>Substituting, </span>
<span>432 = (3/4)x * x </span>
<span>432 = (3/4)x^2 </span>
<span>432 * 4/3 = x^2 </span>
<span>576 = x^2 </span>
<span>Get the square root of both sides, </span>
