Hey there! :)
Answer:
a) 32 sticks.
b) 5n + 2 sticks.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve this by finding the pattern.
Pattern # 1 = 7 sticks.
Pattern #2 = 12 sticks
Pattern #3 = 17 sticks.
We can see an increase of 5 sticks within each. We can use this to write an equation:
f(n) = 7 + 5(n-1)
***Where n is the term number
You can simplify the equation to become:
f(n) = 7 + 5n - 5
f(n) = 5n + 2.
Use this equation to solve for pattern # 6:
f(6) = 7 + 5(n-1)
f(6) = 7 + 5(5)
f(6) = 7 + 25
f(6) = 32.
The kite is symmetric about line segment BD.
Therefore
AB = BC
3x + 1 = 22
3x = 22 - 1 = 21
x = 21/3 = 7
Similarly,
AD = CD by symmetry
Therefore
4x = CD
4*7 = CD
28 = CD, the required line segment
Answer: 28
I think it should be B because the depth of the water should be decreasing slowing at the same rate.
Answer:
a = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
you can simplify the proportion to:

use cross- multiplication
8a = 72
a = 9
