Answer:
126 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a trapezoid is found by
A = 1/2 (b1+b2) h
A = 1/2 ( 12+16)*9
A = 1/2 (28) *9
= 126
Answer:
109 - -37 = 146
Step-by-step explanation:
since you are subtracting a negative, the negative number and the sign cancel each other out. So all you have to do is add.
An arithmetic sequence takes the form

where

is the common difference between terms. You can solve for

in terms of any of the previous terms of the sequence:

for some integer

Continuing in this way, you know that the sequence can be defined explicitly in terms of the first term


Given that the 4th term is

and the 11th term is

, you have the following system of equations.

Solving this system for the two unknowns yields

and

.
So, the sequence is given explicitly by
A)Add 3 and the continue to add 2 more to three each time to get the next number
B)add 1 and add one to the number one each time to get the the next number
