Answer:
17 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Rectangle:
(4*2)+(5*2)
8+10 =18
Triangle:
5+4+3 =12
Both:
12+18 = 30
minus where the rectangle and triangle are together
30-3 = 17
Divide by 5, answer is 1/7
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference
t5 = 3 = a + 4d
t7 = 7 = a + 6d
a + 6d - a - 4d = 7 - 3
2d = 4
d = 2
Sub d = 2,
3 = a + 4(2)
a = -5
t2 = a + d
t2 = -5 + 2
t2 = -3
