The answer is......... 27
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:
73,58,107,49,131
Step-by-step explanation:
m∠1=73°because alternate interior angles
m∠2= 180-49-73=58° because straight lines make 180° angles
m∠3=58+49=107° because alternate interior angles
m∠4 =49° because alternate interior angles
m∠5=180-49=131° because straight lines make 180° angles
21 and 21
(it's a square)
and yes, a square is a rectangle
