A right triangle has side links that are consecutive integers and a perimeter of 12 feet. what are the angles of the triangle
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:The sides are 3, 4, and 5Step-by-step explanation:Let one side be 'n', if the side lengths are consecutive integers, we havenn + 1andn + 2 are our side lengths. adding 1 to n gives us the next integer. Adding 2 to n gives use the second consecutive integer to nThe perimeter is 12, so our equation is..n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 12Now combine like terms and solve.. n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 12 3n + 3 = 12 3n = 9 (subtract 3 from both is sides) n = 3 (divide by 3 on both sides)Since n = 3, n + 1 = 4 andn + 2 = 5So the sides are 3, 4, and 5
