ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The explicit rule for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

It was given that:

and

The common difference is

We plug in the values into the explicit formula to get,

Expand to get,

The explicit rule is

2160 cm^3 since the width of prism b is half of the width of prism a
Answer:
40 terms
Step-by-step explanation:
the sum to n terms of an arithmetic sequence is
=
(a₁ +
)
then
(- 4 - 82) = - 1720 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
- 86n = - 3440 ( divide both sides by - 86 )
n = 40
the series has 40 terms
