Your answer would be option 2. Use the slope formula to see if any sides are perpendicular. This is because a right triangle must have 2 perpendicular sides that form a 90° angle for it to be a right triangle, so finding these would prove it.
I hope this helps!
If you know how to solve word problems involving the sum of consecutive even integers, you should be able to easily solve word problems that involve the sum of consecutive odd integers. The key is to have a good grasp of what odd integers are and how consecutive odd integers can be represented.
Odd Integers
If you recall, an even integer is always 22 times a number. Thus, the general form of an even number is n=2kn=2k, where kk is an integer.
So what does it mean when we say that an integer is odd? Well, it means that it’s one less or one more than an even number. In other words, odd integers are one unit less or one unit more of an even number.
Therefore, the general form of an odd integer can be expressed as nn is n=2k-1n=2k−1 or n=2k+1n=2k+1, where kk is an integer.
Observe that if you’re given an even integer, that even integer is always in between two odd integers. For instance, the even integer 44 is between 33 and 55.
So consectuve even numbers
we know that one even number plus 2= another even number so we want to find 3 consecutive even numbers that add up to 96 or
x is the first number
x+2 is the second number
x+4 is the third number
x+x+2+x+4=96
3x+6=96
subtract 6 from both sides
3x=90
divide both sides by 3
x=30
the first number is 30
x+2=32=second number
x+4=34=third number
the numbers are 30,32,34
