- 9 & 10
let smaller integer be x)
then a/q
(x+x+1)^2=361
(2x+1)^2=361
x=9 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- let the consecutive integers be x and x+1
then (x+x+1)^2=361
(2x+1)^2=361
(2x+1)=√361
2x+1=19
2x=18
x=9
therefore the integers are x and (x+1)=9 and (9+1)= 9 and 10 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
