Yes, and, the common difference between each number is, 0.4.

The difference between -0.3 and 0.1 is 0.4.

0.1 + 0.4 = 0.5

0.5 + 0.4 = 0.9

etc, etc...

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Option D

Yes 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is said to be arithmetic if there is a pattern as

nth term is got by adding d to n-1th term.

d = common difference

The sequence will look like

a, a+d,a+2d, a+3d,......

where I term= a and each time d is added to get the next term.

Our given sequence is

-0.3, 0.1, 0.5, 0.9, …

Let us find difference between Ii and I term

=0.1-(-0.3) = 0.4

Similarly iii term - ii term

=0.5-0.1 =0.4

and iv term - iii term = 0.9-0.5 = 0.4

Hence confirmed that this is an arithmetic sequence with I term =-0.3 and common difference = 0.4

The area of a square slice of cheese is 25 square inches. The perimeter of the slice of cheese is

maxonik [38]

Answer:

As Per Provided Information

Area of given square slice of cheese is 25 square inches .

We have been asked to determine the perimeter of the slice of cheese .

First we will find the side of square slice of cheese .

Let us assume the side of square slice of cheese be s .

Now Let's Solve

$\boxed{\bf \:Area_{(Square)} = {Side}^{2}}$

Substituting the value and we obtain

$\sf \longrightarrow \: 25 = {s}^{2} \\ \\ \\ \sf \longrightarrow \: \sqrt{25} = s \\ \\ \\ \sf \longrightarrow \: s \: = 5 \: inch$

So, the side of square slice cheese is 5 inch

Now let's calculate the Perimeter of cheese

$\boxed{\bf \: Perimeter_{(Square)} = 4 \times side}$

Substituting the value we obtain

$\longrightarrow \sf \: Perimeter_{(Square)} = 4 \times 5 \\ \\ \\ \longrightarrow \sf \: Perimeter_{(Square)} =20 \: inches$

Therefore,

Perimeter of square slice of cheese is 20 inches .
