The given sequence is
1, -2, 4, -8, ...., 
Multiply the 1st term by -2 to obtain     1*(-2) = -2   (the 2nd term)
Multiply the 2nd term by -2 to obtain -2*(-2) = 4    (the 3rd term)
Multiply the 3rd term by -2 to obtain  -2*(4) = -8  (the 4th term)
Answer:
Anet is incorrect.
This is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of -2.

Initial size = 24 (This is the 1st term in the sequence)
2nd term = 24 +5 = 24 + (2-1)*5
3rd term =  24 + 5 + 5 = 24 +(3-1)*5
By induction, the n-th term is
A(n) = 24 + (n-1)*5
Answer:
The given formula is correct.

I’m confused on the type of angles these are and how to solve them . (Parallel lines and Transversals)
svp [43]

Answer:

7) 49°

8) 77°

9) 87°

10) 135°

Step-by-step explanation:

7) The angles are between the parallel lines, so are "interior." They are on opposite sides of the transversal, so are "opposite interior" angles. Such angles are congruent, so ...

... ? ≅ 49°

8) The angles are adjacent interior angles, so are supplementary.

... ? + 103° = 180°

... ? = 77°

9) The angles are outside the parallel lines, so are "exterior." They are on opposite sides of the transversal, so are "opposite exterior" angles. Such angles are congruent.

... ? ≅ 87°

10) These are vertical angles, so are congruent. (The other parallel line is irrelevant and doesn't need to be there for this relationship to be true.)

... ? ≅ 135°

What is the formula for surface area? Giving brainliest to the correct answer
Kitty [74]

Answer: Surface area is the sum of the areas of all faces (or surfaces) on a 3D shape. A cuboid has 6 rectangular faces. To find the surface area of a cuboid, add the areas of all 6 faces. We can also label the length (l), width (w), and height (h) of the prism and use the formula, SA=2lw+2lh+2hw, to find the surface area
