This is an example of a geometric sequence.

Find the common difference.

32 / 16 = 2

16 / 8 = 2

The common difference is 2. This means that each term is divided by 2 to get the next term. To find the 4th term of the sequence we can divide 8 by 2.

8 / 2 = 4

Therefore, the next term in the sequence is <u>4</u>.

Best of Luck!

Reika [66]

Since measure REU equal measure SFT, RE=FT and SF=EU then the two triangles REU et SFT are similar.
Then we deduce that the two sides RU and ST are equal, RU=ST.
Also, since the two triangles above are similar, then the two angles FST and RUE are equal. We deduce that the two lines RU and ST are parallel (interior opposite angles principles.)
We have two facts now:
RU = ST and RU parallel to ST, we deduce that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
