1st:x
2nd x+2
3rd: x+4
(x)+(x+2) = 3(x+4)-31
distribute
2x+2 = 3x+12-31
2x+2 =3x-19
subtract 2x from each side
2 = x-19
add 19 to each side
21 =x
Answer: 21,23,25
Usually, rugs have a rectangular shape, therefore the section of the living room that Patrick wants to cover is a rectangle.
The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying the length and the width of the rectangle:
A = l × w
Hence, the most appropriate measurements Patrick should provide are the length and the width of the section of his living room he wants to cover.

This other side of the triangle is equal to about 11.7 cm
Step-by-step explanation:

And so b ≈ 11.66190
