The common difference of the sequence is -3 and the fifth term is 5

<h3>How to determine the common difference?</h3>

The sequence is given as:

17, 14, 11, 8....

The common difference is

d = T2 - T1

So, we have

d = 14 - 17

Evaluate

d = -3

Hence, the common difference of the sequence is -3

<h3>How to determine the fifth term?</h3>

The fifth term is calculated as:

T5 = a + 4d

Where

a = T1 = 17

d = -3

So, we have:

T5 = 17 - 4 * 3

Evaluate

T5 = 5

Hence, the fifth term is 5

<h3>How to determine the nth term?</h3>

The nth term is calculated as:

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Hence, the nth term is Tn = a + (n - 1)d

All statements are correct for two congruent triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

If two triangles are congruent than the rules states that

Triangles are congruent when all corresponding sides and interior angles are congruent. The triangles will have the same shape and size, but one may be a mirror image of the other.

As the fig shows two triangle

Δ PQR

Δ LMN

All three corresponding sides of triangle are congruent

all three corresponding angles are congruent

Both triangle are of same size

Both are of same shape

hence all the statements are CORRECT
