Hey there!

One way to do this is find all the factors of 6 and then see which pair fit the requirements.

The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. (Note: There can be negative factors, but I am going to leave them out since it is asking for positive integers.)

You can find them by asking if each number can go into 6.

1, 2, 3, and 6 all go into 6, while 4 and 5 do not.

The requirements we have is that they must be consecutive <u>and</u> have a product of 6.

Consecutive means right after one another.

The only numbers that fit this are 2 and 3.

2 x 3 = 6

Hope this helps!

Answer:

2,3

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive means in a row, so x and x+1

x(x+1) = 6

Distribute

x^2 +x = 6

Subtract 6 from each side

x^2 +x - 6 =0

Factor

(x+3) (x-2) =0

Using the zero product property

x=-3, x=2

We only want positive integers

x=2

x+1 =3

Find the area and perimeter.<br> The area is ... and the perimeter is ...
Schach [20]

Answer:

Area: 6a^2

Perimeter: 12a^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle, use the formula A=1/2 b*h. The base is 3a^2 and the height is 4a^2.

A= 1/2 (3a^2)(4a^2)

A = 1/2 (12a^4)

A = 6a^4

To find the perimeter of the triangle, add each of the sides of the triangle. The third side, the hypotenuse, can be found using Pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2\\(3a^2)^2+(4a^2)^2 = c^2\\(9a^4)+(16a^4)=c^2\\25a^4=c^2\\5a^2=c

Now add each of the sides: 3a^2 + 4a^2 +5a^2 = 12a^2
