Answer:
= 20n + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is
d = 52 - 32 = 72 - 52 = 92 - 72 = 20
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with explicit formula
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 32 and d = 20, thus
= 32 + 20(n - 1) = 32 + 20n - 20 = 20n + 12

we know that
in the right triangle ABC
cos A=AC/AB
cos A=1/3
so
1/3=AC/AB----->AB=3*AC-----> square----> AB²=9*AC²----> equation 1
applying the Pythagoras Theorem
BC²+AC²=AB²-----> 2²+AC²=AB²---> 4+AC²=AB²----> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
4+AC²=9*AC²----> 8*AC²=4----> AC²=1/2----> AC=√2/2
so
AB²=9*AC²----> AB²=9*(√2/2)²----> AB=(3√2)/2
the answer is
the hypotenuse is (3√2)/2
