To determine the nth term, we must create a function.

f(n) = 1st term + common difference (n - 1)

n = term you are looking for
1st term = 1st number in the sequence
common difference = the difference between two consecutive numbers in the sequence.

based on the above sequence, the 1st term is 2, its common difference is 3.

f(n) = 2 + 3(n-1)

Assuming we are looking for the 5th term
f(5) = 2 + 3(5-1)
       = 2 + 3(4)
       = 2 + 12
f(5) = 14   as you can see in the above sequence 14 is the 5th term.

For any other value of the nth term, simply substitute n by the number of the term and solve the equation.

A square pyramid. The square base has side lengths of 6 inches. The 4 triangular sides have a base of 6 inches and height of 9 i
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The area of the pyramid’s base is 36 in².

The pyramid has 4 lateral faces.  

The surface area of each lateral face is 27 in².

Step-by-step explanation:

"<u>Lateral</u>" means side, so the lateral faces are <u>triangles</u>.

The <u>base</u> is the bottom, which is a <u>square</u>.

To calculate the <u>area of the base</u>, use the formula for area of a square.

A_{base} = s^{2}

A_{base} = (6 in)^{2}

A_{base} = 36 in^{2}

To calculate the <u>area of a lateral face</u>, find the area of a triangle.

A_{lateral} = \frac{bh}{2}

A_{lateral} = \frac{(6 in)(9 in)}{2}

A_{lateral} = \frac{54 in^{2}}{2}

A_{lateral} = 27 in^{2}

In a pyramid, the number of lateral faces is the same as the number of sides in the base. <u>The square base as 4 sides, so there are 4 lateral faces</u>.
