We have to calculate the length of each side of the regular pentagon and to choose correct answer . It is given that the perimeter of the pentagon is 60 inches. And the perimeter is : P = 5 * L, where L stays for the length of each side. 60 in = 5 * L; L = 60 : 5; L = 12 in. Answer: C. 12 inches<span>.</span>
A1 = first term
a1 = 15
---------------------------------------------
d = common difference
d = (second term) - (first term)
d = a2 - a1
d = 9-12
d = -3
The negative common difference indicates that the terms are decreasing
Each time we subtract 3, or add -3, to get the next term.
----------------------------------------------
nth term of arithmetic sequence
an = a1 + d(n-1)
an = 15 + (-3)(n-1)
an = 15- 3n + 3
an = 18 - 3n
Answer is choice D
