Add the common difference to a term to get the next term.
-10
-10 + (-2) = -12
-12 + (-2) = -14
etc.
The sequence is
-10, -12, -14, -16, -18, -20, -22, -24, -26, -28
Surface of the cylinder : 2*(pi*radius^2)+(2*pi*radius*height)=2(pi*1.5^2)+(2*pi*1.5*9)=31.5pi cm^2 ~99 cm^2
Volume : pi*radius^2*height=pi*1.5^2*9=20.25pi~64 cm^3
11 hours. The temp. decreases with time at a 2:1 ratio receptively <span />
