1 answer:

4 0

<span>a1= (which is the first term.)
to find the 2nd term you plug in 2 for (an) in the formula given to you. =-4(2-1)^2 *remember an represents the term u are looking for *
now you start to solve it
-4(2-1)^2
-4 (1)^2 .
-4^2 = 16
so your first two terms are 2 and 16 .</span>

This most definitely has to be a rhombus since it is a form of a square with 4 congruent sides where a rectangle only has 4 right angles.
To clarify, a trapezoid only has one pair of parallel sides if you were wondering.

A square painting painting is surrounded by a frame. the outside edges of the frame are 3 inches in length, and the frame is 3 i

sdas [7]

Answer:

Area = 36 $inches ^ 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

There must be an error with the statement, because it is strange that the length of the frame is equal to its thickness.

Assuming that the data supplied is correct, we can do the following procedure.

Let's call L the length of the frame.

We know how much each side of the square measures.

L = 3 inches

We also know that the thickness (s) is:

s = 3 inches.

Then the area of the frame is equal to:

Area = Perimeter * thickness

Area = 4L*s

Area = 3*4*3

Area = 36 $inches ^ 2$
