So consecutive intergers are 1 away from each other so
the numbers are
x,x+1,x+2
if the product (multily) of 2 smaeller is 5 less than 5 times largest so
(x times (x+1)) is 5 less than 5 times (x+2)
(x times (x+1))=-5+5(x+2)
pemdas
distribute using distributiver property
a(b+c)=ab+ac so
x times (x+1)=x^2+x
5(x+2)=5x+10
we have
x^2+x=-5+5x+10
add like terms
x^2+x=5x+5
subtract (5x+5) from both sides
x^2-4x-5=0
factor by find what 2 numbers add to -4 and multply to get -5
numbers are 1 and -5
so we do
(x+1)(x-5)=0
sete each to zero
x+1=0
x-5=0

x+1=0
sbtract 1
x=-1
we want positie so thisis wrong answer

x-5=0
add 5
x=5
subsitute
x,x+1,x+2
5,5+1,5+2
5,6,7


smalles is 5

I need help finding the missing side length with the answer in radicals in the simplest form.
AlekseyPX

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

There’s nothing hard with this

You need to know special right triangles

This is a 30,60, 90 triangle

We automatically know becuase theres. Right angle (90) and a 60 degree angle

now the formula is the smallest side is (n) {I’m using N becuase theres already an X) or in this case, 6

The hypotenuse, the one directly above the 2nd biggest side, or the diagnoal side is 2n or (12). Now we know what X is in this situation which is 12. So that narrows it to 2 answers

Now the side on the bottom of the hypotenuse, the second biggest side is used in the formula N\sqrt{3}. So we know what N is in the beginning, 6 so we just plug that in and well get C. Attached is a photo on q 30, 60, 90 special right triangle
