Answer: 17, 19, 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Three consecutive odd numbers: x, x+2, x+4 (since odd numbers occur every other number)

Just to show you that the numbers are x, x+2, and x+4, just say x is 13 then x+2 is 15 and x+4 is 17 (3 consecutive odd numbers)

Now the second equation:

3x = 2(x+4) + 9

three times smallest number (which is x) is equal to 2 times the largest number (x+4) plus 9

Now solve

3x = 2(x+4) +9

3x = 2x + 8 + 9

3x = 2x + 17

x = 17

x+2 = 19

x+3 = 21

Does 2, 5, and 7 make a right triangle
MakcuM [25]

Answer:  No, we don't have a right triangle

==========================================================

Explanation:

If a triangle with sides a,b,c makes the equation a^2+b^2 = c^2 true, where c is the longest side, then this triangle is a right triangle. This is the converse of the pythagorean theorem.

Here we have a = 2, b = 5 and c = 7.

So...

a^2+b^2 = c^2

2^2+5^2 = 7^2

4+25 = 49

29 = 49

The last equation is false, so the first equation is false for those a,b,c values. Therefore, we do <u>not</u> have a right triangle.

------------

In contrast, consider the classic 3-4-5 right triangle

a = 3, b = 4 and c = 5 would make a^2+b^2 = c^2 true because 3^2+4^2 = 5^2 is a true equation (both sides lead to 25).

A playground is constructed with the dimensions and shapes shown below
Alchen [17]

check the picture below.


so the playground is really just 3 rectangles and one triangle, now the triangle has a base of 8 and a height of 6.  We can simply get the area of each figure, sum them up and that's the area of the playground.


\bf \stackrel{\textit{area of the triangle}}{\cfrac{1}{2}(8)(6)}~~+~~\stackrel{\textit{rectangle}}{(8\cdot 8)}~~+~~\stackrel{\textit{rectangle}}{(6\cdot 6)}~~+~~\stackrel{\textit{rectangle}}{(9\cdot 4)}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;24+64+36+36\implies 160
