Problema Solution

The perimeter of a four sided figure is 104 inches. The length of the four sides are four consecutive odd integers. What are the measurements of each side?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let the four consecutive odd integers be x, x+2, x+4 and x+6

Perimeter = x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6

104 = 4x+12

4x=92

x=23

 

Sides are 23 inch, 25 inch, 27 inch and 29 inch
