Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
It would be 4" my good friend
X+(x+1)=17
So 2x+1=17
Which means 2x=16
Which then means x=8
But you still need the second number, which is x+1, so 8+1=9.
This means that the consecutive numbers are 8 and 9.
The answer is 72.
You can figure this out using the Pythagorean theorem: C (78) squared - A (30) squared = B squared though since you already know the longest side.
78 x 78 = 6084
30 x 30 = 900
6084-900= 5184
The square root of 5184 is 72.
