Step-by-step explanation:

we have a rectangle, that is then cut in half diagonally into 2 right-angled triangles.

in our problem it does not matter which side is the larger and which is the shorter one, because the distance calculation for both cases involve one short and one long side. the sequence does not matter.

Mary walks one short and one large side to get to the opposite corner (from D to F) :

264 + 900 = 1,164 ft

Kate walks diagonally. and that diagonal is the Hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle with a short and a long side of the rectangle.

so, Pythagoras applies :

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle), and a and b are the legs.

in our case that means

diagonal² = 264² + 900² = 69,696 + 810,000 =

= 879,696

diagonal = sqrt(879,696) = 937.9211054... ft ≈ 938 ft

so, Kate walked

1,164 - 938 = 226 ft

less than Mary.

Determine the next 3 terms after : 1 , -2 , 3 , -4 , 5
baherus [9]
<h3>Answer:  -6, 7, -8</h3>

Start with the sequence {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, ...}

Then change the sign of every other term so you'll have the first term positive, the second term negative, and so on.

That updates to {1, -2, 3, -4, 5, -6, 7, -8, ...}

Every odd term (1,3,5,..) is positive while every even term (-2,-4,-6) is negative.

B(n)=−4−2(n−1)<br> What's the 12th term in the sequence?
marysya [2.9K]

The 12th term in the sequence is -26.

Given,

B (n) = -4 – 2(n – 1)

We have to find the 12th term in the sequence:

To find the nth term in an arithmetic sequence:

An arithmetic sequence's nth term is determined by the formula a = a + (n - 1)d. The common difference, or d, is the difference between any two consecutive terms in an arithmetic series; it can be calculated by deducting any pair of terms starting with a and an+1.

Here,

First term, a = -4

Common difference, d = -2

nth term = 12

Now, let’s find 12th term

B(n) = -4 -2(n – 1)

B(12) = -4 – 2(12 – 1)

B(12) = -4 -2(11)

B(12) = -4 -22

B(12) = -26

That is, the 12th term in the sequence is -26.
