Triangle ABD and triangle CDB are similar because:
-it is given that angle A and angle C are equal, both 90
-angle ABD and angle CDB are equal because they are alternate interior angles
- side DB and side DB are the same length
- two triangles are equal because of AAS
you need to find to find the value of x and y.
2x>(-15-5y)
x>(-15-5y)/2
now put this in to other equation and solve for y and then put the y value in and find x.
Answer:

Explanation:
All the shown formulae in the choice list are recursive formulae instead of explicit formulae.
Explicit formulae that represent arithmetic sequences are of the form:
That kind of formula permits to determine any term knowing the first term, the number of the term searched, and the common difference (d).
On the other hand, the recursive formulae let you to calculate one term knowing the previous term and the difference.
In this case, the difference in the number of squares of two consecutive terms is:
- differece = number of squares in the second layer - number of squares in the first layer.
Then, the recursive formula is:
The answer is 7/10. Because it's 7 out of 10.
Two faces are 3*5 = 15; and because there are two faces you double to get 30;
5*8 = 40, double to get 80,
3*8 = 24, double to get 48, and we add:
48 + 30 + 80 = 158
