Question 516708
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


"the lengths of the sides of a quadrilateral are consecutive even intergers[sic}."  No they aren't.  There is no such thing as an "interger."  Now if they are actually consecutive even integers, that is another story.


Let *[tex \Large x] represent the first integer, then *[tex \Large x + 2] is the next even integer, and the next is two more than that, and so on.


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2x\ +\ x\ +\ 6\ =\ 120]


Solve for *[tex \Large x] to get the shortest side, then keep adding 2 to get the other three sides.

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
