$p_n=p_{n-1}+4$
$\implies p_{17}=p_{16}+4$
$\implies p_{17}=p_{15}+2\cdot4$
$\implies p_{17}=p_{14}+3\cdot4$
$\implies p_{17}=\cdots=p_3+14\cdot4$

$\implies74=p_3+56\implies p_3=18$

Given:
Body length (meters) Mean Speed (meters/seconds) 4 0.89 
4.5 0.83 4 0.76 6.5 0.94 5.5 0.94

The horizontal axis is the x-axis. The values reflected in this axis is the body length of the shark.

The vertical axis is the y-axis. The values reflected in this axis is the mean speed.

Graph your own scatter plot.

Find the lateral area of the regular prism with height h, if the base of the prism is: Equilateral triangle with the side 4 cm a

Shtirlitz [24]

Equilateral triangle with the side 4 cm and h=2.5 cm

In equilateral triangle all sides are equal

so all sides are equal in the base of the prism

lateral area of the prism = Perimeter of the base * height

Perimeter of the base equilateral triangle = side + side + side

lateral area of the prism =(side + side + side) * height

= (4+4+4) * 2.5
