For this problem, all you need to do is find the three #'s that add up to 156.
So, lets look at the answers and add them up.
A. 50, 52, 54
50 + 52 + 54 = 156
B. 51,52,53
51 + 52 + 53 = 156
C. 49,50,51
49 + 50 + 51 = 150
D. 49,51,53
49 + 51 + 53 = 153
We get the answers (50,52,54) and (51,52,53)
Now, consecutive numbers are numbers that in order, like 1,2,3.
Therefore, the answer is (51,52,53)
In order to answer that question, we need to know the scale of the map.
Without that information, no answer is possible.
I think you have it in the first part of the question ... the part you decided
not to post.
_________________________
OK. Now that you've provided the scale of the map,
answering the question is a piece-o-cake.
Use a proportion:
(1 inch on the map) / (4 miles on the ground) = ('x' on the map) / (17 miles on the ground)
Theorem of cosine:
a²=b²+c²-2bc(cos α) ⇒cos α=-(a²-b²-c²) / 2bc
In this case:
a=15 cm
b=10 cm
c=5 cm
cos α=-(15²-10²-5²) / 2*10*5
cos α=-100 / 100
cos α=-1
A=arc cos -1=180º This is impossible, because:
A+B+C=180º; then B=C=0º This is impossible for make a triangle (B>0 and C>0 if we want to make a triangle).
Therefore: it is not possible can make a triangle with side lengths of 5 cm, 10 cm and 15 cm.
