Answer:
The lines do not intersect, it is parallel therefore there is no solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given the sequence 2,3,5,9,17.
We can write the terms of this sequence as

From the above term we can see that for the first term we take exponent 0 on 2 and then add 1 .
For second term we take exponent 1 on 2 and then add 1 .
For third term we take exponent 2 on 2 and then add 1 .
Using this fact for the next term of the sequence i.e. 6th term, we can take exponent 5 on 2 and then add 1 .
Therefore, next term of the sequence is given by

Therefore, the next term is 33.
Using the above facts, the pattern is given by

26 / 8 = 3.25;
14 / 4 = 3.50;
The mistake is obvious !
Answer:
The two parallel sides a and b are 17 cm and 23 cm respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a trapezium = {(a+b)/2} h
Where
h = height = 18 cm
a = parallel side 1 = x
b = parallel side 2 = x + 6
Area of a trapezium = {(a+b)/2} h
360 = {(x + x + 6) / 2} 18
360 = { (2x + 6) / 2} 18
360 = (2x + 6) 9
360 = 18x + 54
Subtract 54 from both sides
360 - 54 = 18x
306 = 18x
Divide both sides by 18
x = 306 / 18
= 17
x = 17 cm
a = parallel side 1 = x
x = 17 cm
b = parallel side 2 = x + 6
x + 6
= 17 + 6
= 23 cm
