Answer:

23, 25, 27

Step-by-step explanation:

n + (n+2) + (n+4) = 4n - 17

3n + 6 = 4n - 17

3n - 4n = -17 - 6

-n = -23

n = 23

therefore,

23, 25, 27 are the 3 consecutive odd integers

Given: PRST is a square

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

$(1-\sqrt{2})a^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider irght triangle PRS. By the Pythagorean theorem,

$PS^2=PR^2+RS^2\\ \\PS^2=a^2+a^2\\ \\PS^2=2a^2\\ \\PS=\sqrt{2}a$

Thus,

$MS=PS-PM=\sqrt{2}a-a=(\sqrt{2}-1)a$

Consider isosceles triangle MSC. In this triangle

$MS=MC=(\sqrt{2}-1)a.$

The area of this triangle is

$A_{MSC}=\dfrac{1}{2}MS\cdot MC=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot (\sqrt{2}-1)a\cdot (\sqrt{2}-1)a=\dfrac{(\sqrt{2}-1)^2a^2}{2}=\dfrac{(3-2\sqrt{2})a^2}{2}$

Consider right triangle PTS. The area of this triangle is

$A_{PTS}=\dfrac{1}{2}PT\cdot TS=\dfrac{1}{2}a\cdot a=\dfrac{a^2}{2}$

The area of the quadrilateral PMCT is the difference in area of triangles PTS and MSC:

$A_{PMCT}=\dfrac{(3-2\sqrt{2})a^2}{2}-\dfrac{a^2}{2}=\dfrac{(2-2\sqrt{2})a^2}{2}=(1-\sqrt{2})a^2$
