The four consecutive even numbers that sum to 140 are:

Let the length of the second one be x inches long (x must be an even whole number); then

The lengths are x-2, x, x+2, x+4

Their sum is 4x + 4 = 4(x+1)

But this is 140 inches → 4(x+1) = 140 → x = 34, a whole even number as required.

→ The lengths are 32, 34, 36, 38 inches.

The lengths of the sides of a triangle measured in inches are consecutive whole numbers and the perimeter is 27 inches What is the length of the shorter side?

Let x be the length measure of the shortest side, so the length measure of two other sides are x + 2, and x + 4 x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 27 3x + 6 = 27 subtract 6 to both sides 3x = 33 divide by 3 to both sides x = 11 Thus the shortest side is 11 inches,


What consecutive numbers total 48?

Natural numbers only: Sequence length 1: 48. Sequence length 3: 15, 16, 17. If you allow for negative numbers, the following two are also possible: Sequence length 33: -14, -13, ... , 0, 1, ..., 15, 16, 17. Sequence length 97: -47, -46, ..., 47, 48. There is no other sequence with a total of 48 in the whole number domain. A solution would be: Let m be the first consecutive number. Hence: m + 1 = Second consecutive no. m + 2 = Third consecutive no. So the equation will be: 1st no. + 2nd no. + 3rd no = 48 m + (m + 1) + (m + 2) = 48 3m + 3 = 48 3m = 48 - 3 3m = 45 Dividing both sides by 3 gives: m = 15 by substitution: 15 + 1 = Second consecutive no. = 16 15 + 2 = Third consecutive no. = 17 Hence, the numbers are 15, 16 and 17. :-)

What is the volume of a square with the length of 6.2 inches the width of 4.8 inches and the height of 5.1 inches?

I don't think you mean the volume of a square. Perhaps the volume of a prism? For prisms, Volume = Length * Width * Height, so just multiply all three numbers together. And don't forget your units: inches ^3
