A1 = first term
a1 = 15
---------------------------------------------
d = common difference 
d = (second term) - (first term)
d = a2 - a1
d = 9-12
d = -3
The negative common difference indicates that the terms are decreasing
Each time we subtract 3, or add -3, to get the next term.
----------------------------------------------
nth term of arithmetic sequence
an = a1 + d(n-1)
an = 15 + (-3)(n-1)
an = 15- 3n + 3
an = 18 - 3n

Answer is choice D

Which of the following is the height of the special trapezoid if WX = 18 , YZ = 18 &amp; The Area Is 144^2
Ierofanga [76]
Area of a trapezoid formula:

A = 1/2(Base1 + Base2)*height

I will assume that WX and YZ are the two bases, since that's the only thing that logically makes sense to answer the question.

Plug in what we know
I believe the Area is meant to be 144 unit^2, as no area is ever given as 144^2

144 = 1/2(18 + 18) * h

solve for h

144 = 18 * h

h = 144/18

h = 8

The height is 8.
