Hello : 
<span>the nth term of a geometric sequence is : 
Un = Up ×r^(n-p)    .   r is the common ratio 
for : p=5 and n= 2
U5 = U2 ×r^3
16 = -2 r^3
r^3 = -8
but : -8 = (-2)^3
so :  r = -2
Un = U2 × r^(n-2)
Un = -2 ×(-2)^(n-2)= (-2)^(n-2+1)

</span><span>the nth term of a geometric sequenceis : Un = (-2)^(n-1)</span>

“The perimeter P of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of sides a,b, and c”
Kryger [21]

Answer:

1. Write the addition of "a", "b" and "c".

2. The equation is: P=a+b+c

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that <em>P</em> represents the perimeter of the triangle and <em>a, b </em>and <em>c </em>represent the sides of the triangle.

By definition, the sum is the result of an addition. Therefore, the statement "The perimeter <em>P</em> of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of sides <em>a, b</em>, and <em>c</em>”, indicates that the perimeter is obtained by adding the lengths of the sides of the triangle.

Knowing this, you can write the following equation:

P=a+b+c

10th grade geometry <br> Select statements that are true about angles on diagram
Goshia [24]

Answer:

  B, C

Step-by-step explanation:

The only statements that must be true are ones that describe the markings on the diagram:

 NO as an angle bisector

  N is the vertex of a pair of congruent angles

_____

The only other fact that must be true is that segments on the left side of the diagram are proportional to those (corresponding) on the right. (This is a property of the angle bisector.) There is nothing that says the sides must be equal, or that the triangle is isosceles.

When no soil was put in the small pots, then 120/12 = 10 large pots will be filled.

Therefore, the points Labelled are (24, 0) and (0, 10)
