Answer:

1st number = 17

2nd number = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Unknown number = x

Since they are consecutive numbers, we add 1 to each other.

=> x + x + 1 = 35

=> 2x + 1 = 35

=> 2x + 1 - 1 = 35 - 1

=> 2x = 34

=> 2x/2 = 34/2

=> x = 17

So, the first number = x = 17

=> Second number = x + 1 = 17 + 1 = 18

1st number = 17

2nd number = 18

faust18 [17]

Answer:

224.54 km

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle is formed, where h + r = 4 + 6300 = 6304 km is the hypotenuse, r = 6300 km is one leg and d is the other leg. By Pythagorean theorem:

6304² = 6300² + d²

d² = 6304² - 6300²

d = √50416

d = 224.54 km
