Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive odd numbers be represented by x and x+2. Therefore,

x × (x+2) = 483

x² + 2x = 483

x² + 2x - 483 = 0

x² + 23x - 21x - 483 = 0

x(x + 23) - 21(x + 23) = 0

(x - 21) = 0

x = 0 + 21

x = 21

The smaller integer is 21

The larger integer is 21 + 2 = 23.

That's the question ??

Oksanka [162]

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we answer, the area of a Circle given it radius is

$a = \pi r {}^{2}$

The area of a circle given it diameter is

$a = \pi( \frac{d}{2} ) {}^{2}$

So let answers question 1-4.

1. The area is

$1024\pi$

2. The area is

$576\pi$

$1.225\pi$

$309.76\pi$

For the 5th problem, circumference is

$\pi \times d$

where d is the diameter and

$2\pi r$

where r is the radius.

A circumference of 100 m means the radius is 50 because

$2\pi \times r = 100\pi$

$r = 50$

So this means the area is

$2500 {\pi}$
