Answer:
128.57..... degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The general formula for the distance between two points is

Anyway, if A and B have the same x or y coordinates, this formula can be simplified. For example, in this case the two points have the same x coordinate of -8, so the following part of the formula simplifies:

So, we're left with

but the square root of a square is the absolute value of the object being squared:

which is this case means 
which is the correct length of the side.
X = first integer, y = second integer (right after x)
since y is right after x, we can say
y = x+1
If the product of the two integers (x and y) is 42, then
x*y = 42
x*( y ) = 42
x*( x+1 ) = 42 ... y is replaced with x+1
x*x + x*1 = 42
x^2 + x = 42
x^2 + x - 42 = 0
(x + 7)(x - 6) = 0 ... factor
x + 7 = 0 or x - 6 = 0
x = -7 or x = 6
The result must be positive as the problem states it, so we toss out x = -7
The only answer is x = 6
If x = 6, then
y = x+1
y = 6+1
y = 7
The two consecutive numbers are 6 and 7
The final answer is 6
Sure enough, 6*7 = 42 checks out
