Answer: 51 uinits
The three numbers are x , x + 21 and x + 27.
The greatest of the 3 numbers is x + 27, so x + 27 has to be the hypotenuse.
----------------------------------------------
Pythagoras Theorem
----------------------------------------------
a² + b² = c²
x² + (x+21)² = (x+27)²
x² + x² + 42x + 441 = x² + 54x + 729
x² - 12x -288 = 0
(x - 24)(x + 12) = 0
x = 24 or x = -12 (rejected, length cannot be negative)
----------------------------------------------
Find hypotenuse
----------------------------------------------
Hypotenuse = x + 27 = 24 + 27 = 51 units
-----------------------------------------------
Answer: 51 units

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x)= -x-1 or g(x) = x+1
if g(x) = -x-1
-x-1=2x+4
-x=2x+5
-x/2=x+5
-x/2 -x=5
-x/2-2x/2=5
-x-2x=5
-3x=5
x=5/-3
if g(x) = x+1
x+1=2x+4
x=2x+3
x/2=x+3
x/2-x=3
x/2-2x/2=3
x-2x=3
-x=3
x=3
<span>Without changing the opening of your compass, put the sharp end
of your compass on point C and make an arc on the ray. Label the point
where the arc intersects the ray point D. Segment CD is congruent to
segment AB.</span>

Answer:
A = 140 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of the triangle is calculated as
A = 
bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )
here b = 20 and h = 14 , then
A = × 20 × 14 = 10 × 14 = 140 in²
