Find three consecutive even integers whose sum is -132

The consecutive even numbers are -42, -44, -46

Step-by-step explanation:

As the numbers are consecutive even integers,

Let,

The first number is "x"

The second number is "x+2"

The third number is "x+4"

According to the equation,

x + (x+2) + (x+4) = -132

As the sum is -132. Now we break the parenthesis by using the addition rule.

or, x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -132

or, 3x + 6 = -132

or, 3x = -132 - 6 (side change)

or, 3x = -138

or, x = -138/3 (interchange)

or, x = -46

Therefore, the first number is -46

The second number is -46+2 = -44

And the third number is -46+4 = -42

The consecutive even numbers are -42, -44, -46

step-by-step explanation:

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
