Question

the sum of three consecutive terms that are in a. p is 27 and their product is 288. find the three terms.​

Answer 1

Answer:

divide 288 by 27 you'll get your answer which is 10.66666 but roughly 10.67

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be a - d , a , a + d .

GIVEN that

• a - d + a + a + d = 27
• (a - d) × a × (a + d) = 288

Solving First eqn. , we get

3a = 27

a = 9

Putting value of a = 9 in second eqn. we get

(9 - d) × 9 × (9 + d) = 288

(9)² - (d)² = 32

d² = 81 - 32

d² = 49

d = ±7

THREE TERMS ARE

• 2 , 9 , 16
• or
• 16 , 9 , 2
