The first term is 8, so
Each time we want a new term, we add on 3
8+3 = 11
11+3 = 14
14+3 = 17
17+3 = 20
23+3 = 26
and so on
This recursive step of adding on 3 to the prior term is written as this: which says "to get the nth term, add 3 to the term just before the nth term"
Based on what you posted for your answer choices, the final answer is likely choice C. However it seems some weird typo happened.
Let us assume base of the window = b feet.
Height is 3 feet less than base, that is = (b-3).
Given area of the triangle = 20 feet square.
We know formula for area of a triangle:
Area = × Base × Height
Plugging values in formula, we get
20 =
Factoring quadratic, we get
=0
b+5=0
b=-5
b-8=0
b=8.
For base we can take only positive value.
<h3>Therefore, base of the triangle = 8 feet and height = 8 -3 = 5 feet.</h3>
