Answer: 14, 15 and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be a, a+1 and a+2
We are told that the three consecutive integers are such that three times the smallest is 26 more than the largest. This can be formed into an equation as:
(3 × a) = (a+2 + 26)
3a = a + 28
3a - a = 28
2a = 28
a = 28/2
a = 14
The numbers are 14, 15 and 16
9 times with a remainder of 2
Area of the square: A s = s².
Area of the circle: A c = ( 1/2 s )² π = 1/4 s² · 3.14 = 0.785 s²
Area inside the square but outside the circle: s² - 0.785 s² = 0.215 s²
The ratio:
0.215 s² : s² = 0.215 : 1 = 215 : 1000 = 43 : 200 .
Correct answer to the question is letter b
