Answer:

the first term is 8 and common difference d is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given nth term of an arithmetic sequence is: aₙ=12-4n

We need to find first term and common difference of given arithmetic sequence

First term can be found by  putting n=1:

a_n=12-4n\\a_1=12-4(1)\\a_1=12-4\\a_1=8

So, first term is a₁= 8

Now to find common difference we need to find second term

Second term can be found by putting n=2

a_n=12-4n\\a_2=12-4(2)\\a_2=12-8\\a_2=4

So, second term is: 4

The common difference is found by subtracting second term with first term: a₂-a₁= 4-8 = -4

So, first term is 8 and common difference d is -4

A + b = 61       a > b        a = 2b + 4

2b + 4 + b = 61
3b + 4 = 61

nika2105 [10]

Sum of interior angles of triangle = 180

x + x + 6 + 3x - 16 = 180

5x - 10 = 180

5x = 190

x = 38

<M = 3(38) - 16

<M = 114 - 16

<M = 98°

Find the area of the shape shown below.
maw [93]

Answer:

The area is 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Visualize the rectangle as 2 split squares.

The top square is easily 4x4, so the area of that part is 16.

Now visualize the bottom square as two rectangles.

To find the area of the dented side, you would use the equation of finding the area of a triangle, a=(w x h)\frac{1}{2} because the dented side is actually just one half of the rectangle on the other side.

Since it is the same height as the top square, but is 2 in width, it would be written as a=(2 x 4)\frac{1}{2} . So the area of that part is 4, and the area of the other rectangle would be just 2 x 4 so it is 8.

Totaling these numbers, you get the area of the full rectangle.
