Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can tell that the pattern is in a decreasing even no. order. So, the no.s are in this following.

<em>18,</em><em> </em><em>16,</em><em> </em><em>14,</em><em> </em><em>12,</em><em> </em><em>10,</em><em> </em><em>8,</em><em> </em><em>6</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>4,</em><em> </em><em>2</em>

So we see that the first term is 18 and the second is 16. It goes down by 2 each time. The 'zeroth' term is 2 more than the first one.
So, the nth term is (-2n+20).
Test:
When n=4
-2*4+20=12. This is right because the fourth number is 12, as we see.

5. Each pair of polygons below are similar. Show your work! Solve for x:
Stella [2.4K]
Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).

If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.

18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.

You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.

14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7

(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)
