Consecutive integers are integers that follow in sequence, each number being  more than the previous number, represented by  ,  ,  ,  , ..., where is any integer. If we start with an  number and each number in the sequence is  more than the previous number then we will get    .
if the lengths of the sides of a triangle are consecutive odd integers, then they are ,  , 
if the perimeter is  , then  ...solve for
now find sides and
so, the measure of each side is:  , , and
