Prove: The square of the sum of
two consecutive integers is odd.

?=1

first and second blank=2

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove this statement.

Let's take an example:

1^2 + 2^2

=> 1 + 4 = 5

=> 5 = odd number.

We first took two consecutive integers  1, and 2. Then, we squared both the numbers to get 1 and 4. Lastly, we added these numbers to get 5, which is a odd number.

Another example:

-9 + (-10)

=> -9^2 + (-10)^2

=> 81 + 100

=> 181 = odd number

So this statement is correct.

6/20
