Answer:
32 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Twice of the width is 10 4/5
So 10 4/5 plus 5 2/5 is 16 1/5
Then you add it to 16 1/5 because it is the perimeter and it has the same sides
We solve the equation, ( a + a + 1 )^2 = 112 + a^2 + ( a + 1 )^2;
Then, ( 2a + 1 )^2 = 112 + a^2 + a^2 + 2a +1;
4a^2 + 4a + 1 = 113 + 2a^2 + 2a;
Finally, 2a^2 + 2a - 112 = 0;
a^2 + a - 56 = 0;
We use <span>Quadratic Formula for this Quadratic Equation;
The solutions are a1 = 7 and a2 = -8;
But a is a natural number; so, a = 7;
The natural consecutive numbers are 7 and 8.</span>
<span>The distributive property tells us how to solve equations in the form of a(b + c). The distributive property is sometimes called the distributive law of multiplication and division.
