For this problem your equation will be x+(x+1)+(x+2)=537
Multiply and Simplify:
x+x+1+x+2=537
3x+3=537
Subtract 3 from both sides:
3x+3-3=537-3
3x=534
Divide both sides by 3:
3x/3=537/3
x=179
179 is the middle number so: 178+179+180=537
180 is the third number.
Garden
max area is if the sides are as equal as possible
so he should try to make a square (ideal is a circle, but barn walls are normally straight)
squaer perimiter=4 times legnth of 1 side
perimiter=amount of fencing=80
80=4s
divide 4
20=s
one sides=20
area=legnth times width
in squaer, legnth=width
20=legnth
20=width
area=20 times 20=400
dimetions are 20ft by 20ft to give 400ft^2
(fun fact, if it were a circle, the area would be about 509.5ft^2)
answer is 20ft by 20ft and area=400ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of exterior angles equals 360 degrees, which is the total degrees of a circle and all polygons
