A=first term
n=number of terms
d=common difference

Formula: a+(n-1)d
10th term;
a=-10
n=10
d=-2

-10+(10-1)-2
-10+(9)-2
-10+-18
-10-18
10th term= -28

A.P= -10,-12,-14,-16,-18,-20,-22,-24,-26,-28,...

Answer: The first ten terms are;

-10, -12, -14, -16, -18, -20, -22, -24, -26 and -28

Step-by-step explanation:

This sequence will be an arithmetic sequence since they have a "common difference".

The nth term of a sequence is

Tn = a+(n-1)d

a is the first term = -10

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference = -2

Second term is when n= 2

T2 = a+d

T2 = -10-2 = -13

When n= 3

T3 = a+2d

T3 = -10 + 2(-2)

T3 = -10 -4

T3 = -14

When n=4

T4 = a+3d

T4 = -10 +3(-2)

T4 = -10 - 6

T4 = -16

When n = 5

T5 = a+4d

T5 = -10 + 4(-2)

T5 = -10-8

T5 = -18

When n=6

T6 = a+5d

T6 = -10+5(-2)

T6 = -10-10

T6 = -20

When n= 7

T7 = a+6d

T7 = -10+6(-2)

T7 = -10-12

T7 = -22

When n= 8

T8 = a+7d

T8 = -10+7(-2)

T8 = -10-14

T8 = -24

When n= 9

T9 = a+8d

T9 = -10+8(-2)

T9 = -10-16

T9 = -26

When n= 10

T10 = a+9d

T10 = -10+9(-2)

T10 = -10 - 18

T10 = -28

Therefore the first ten terms are;

-10, -12, -14, -16, -18, -20, -22, -24, -26 and -28

Based on the measures
Sever21 [200]

A circle is a curve sketched out by a point moving in a plane. The measure of the ∠ACB or θ is 50°.

<h3>What is a circle?</h3>

A circle is a curve sketched out by a point moving in a plane so that its distance from a given point is constant; alternatively, it is the shape formed by all points in a plane that are at a set distance from a given point, the centre.

In order to solve the problem, we need to draw a line segment AB. Since A is the center of the circle AC and AC both will be the radius of the triangle ΔABC. Since two sides of the triangle are equal, the measure of ∠ABC and ∠ACB will be equal therefore, we can write,

∠ACB + ∠ABC + ∠BAC = 180°

2∠ACB + 80° = 180°

∠ACB = 50°

Hence, the measure of the ∠ACB or θ is 50°.

[find the area please explain steps]​
RSB [31]

Length of base of the top triangle = 23 inches

Length of height of the top triangle = 47 inches

Area of the top triangle :

=  \frac{1}{2}   \: \times \:  base  \: \times \:  height

=  \frac{1}{2}  \times 23 \times 47

=  \frac{1}{2}  \times 1081

=  \frac{1081}{2}

= \color{hotpink} \: 540.5 \: \:sq.  inches \:

Thus, area of the top triangle = 540.5 sq.inches

Length of base of the bottom triangle = 47 inches

Length of height of the bottom triangle = 46 inches

Area of the bottom triangle :

=  \frac{1}{2}   \: \times  \: base \:  \times height

=  \frac{1}{2}  \times 47 \times 46

=  \frac{1}{2}  \times 2162

= \color{hotpink}1081 \:sq. inches

Area of the bottom triangle = 1081 sq.inches

Area of the total figure :

= Area of top triangle + Area of bottom triangle

= 540.5 + 1081

= \color{hotpink}\bold{1621.5 \:  \:  sq.inches}

Therefore, the area of the figure = 1621.5 sq.inches

The product of two consecutive integers is 72.
Elis [28]

Answer:

First I would find the square root of 72 with a calculator, which happens to be 8.49 (rounded to the nearest hundreth)

So we know that the two integers will be close to 8.48

Since they are consecutive, lets first test out 8 and 9

We multiply these two and get 72, which is the number we were looking for.

now we find their sum.

9 + 8 = 17

Now since this is not part of the answers, we now asume that both 9 and 8 are negative numbers, since negative times a negative is a positive, but a negative plus a negative can still be negative.

-9 + -8 = -9 - 8 = -17!

So, the answer you are looking for is E: -17
