Answer:

12, 13, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the integers as:

x

x+1

x+2

The sum of their squares, so that would be;

(x^(2)) + (( x + 1 )^(2)) + (( x + 2 )^(2)) = 509

write out the squares

x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 509

combine like terms

3x^2 + 6x + 5 = 509

inverse operations

3x^2 + 6x + 5 = 509

                -5     -5

3x^2 + 6x = 504

factor

3x^2 + 6x = 504

3 ( x^2 + 2x ) =504

Inverse operations

3 ( x^2 + 2x ) = 504

/3                       /3

x^2 + 2x = 168

Factor again

x ( x + 2 ) = 168

At this point, it should be obvious that x is 12 (because 12 * 14 = 168)

So now substitute back into the consecutive numbers

x = 12

x + 1 = 13

x + 2 = 14

Answer:

Side length = 5.8 in

Perimeter = 29

Area = 58 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find Side length using trigonometric ratio:

Angle at center of a pentagon is always 36° (we have measure of a full circle, 360, divided by 10 smaller triangles = 36°)

So:

Reference angle = 36°

Adjacent side = 4 in.

Opp = ½ of the side length of the polygon = x (let's represent this as x)

Thus, apply TOA:

Tan 36 = Opp/Adj

Tan 36 = x/4

4*Tan 36 = x

x ≈ 2.9 in (nearest tenth)

Side length = 2*x = 2*2.9 = 5.8 in

✔️Perimeter = 5*side length

Perimeter = 5*5.8 = 29 in

✔️Area = ½aP

Where,

a = 4 in

P = 29

Plug in the values

A = ½*4*29

A = 58 in²

Solve for x. PLZ WAIT FOR THE PHTO TO UPLOAD
stepan [7]
6x² - 5x + -21 = 0

Because this whole equation equals zero, we must simply factorize the first half of the equation, or the left side.

(3x - 7)(2x + 3) = 0

I was never really taught a specific way to factorize, so I usually just guess and check when factorizing. It usually takes a long time, it always gives you the tight answer.

Then, take each equation and make it equal zero.

3x - 7 = 0 AND 2x + 3 = 0

3x - 7 = 0

Add 7 to both sides.

3x = 7

Divide both sides by 3.

x = 7/3

Now, we do our second equation.

2x + 3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides.

2x = -3

Divide both sides by 2.

x = -3/2

So, x = 7/3 AND x = -3/2

So, your answer is C) x = 7/3, x = -3/2
