Hi there!
In order to solve, we'll need to use a proportion: 20/a = 21/20. Then, we'll cross-multiply and solve to find a: 21a = 400 | a = 19.05. Next, to find b, we can just use pythagorean theorem: 20^2 + (400/21)^2 = b^2 | b = 27.62.
We are using geometric mean to solve for a, then using pythagorean theorem to solve for b. If you need more help with geometric mean, or would like a complete explanation, please let me know! I'd be happy to provide you with that information.
Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
2, 3, 5 and 7 the the first 4 prime numbers
Answer:
-82, -83, -84
Step-by-step explanation:
Using a variable and corresponding expressions, we can set the sum of the consecutive integers equal to -249 and solve:
first integer: x
second integer: x + 1
third integer: x + 2
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = -249
Combine like terms: 3x + 3 = -249
Subtract 3 from both sides: 3x + 3 - 3 = -249 - 3 or 3x = -252
Divide both sides by 3: 3x/3 = -252/3
Solve for x: x = -84
first integer: -84
second integer: -84 + 1 = -83
third integer: -84 + 2 = -82
