<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

33480783

<h2><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h2>

<u>Finding the Common Ratio:</u>

We know that the formula for the common ratio of a GP is:

r = aₙ / (aₙ₋₁) <em>(Where n is any integer)</em>

<em>replacing the values, taking n=2</em>

r = -21 / 7

r = -3

<u>Solving for the 15th Term:</u>

We know that the Formula for the nth term of a GP:

G(n) = a * r ⁿ⁻¹ <em>(where a is the first term and r is the common ratio)</em>

<em>replacing the values (taking n = 15 since we need the 15th term)</em>

G(15) = 7 * (-3)¹⁴

G(15) = 33480783

Hence, the 15th term of the given GP is 33480783

I think it's 37.5 . I'm pretty sure cause I think you divide 3/8 . Then you go 2 to the right for your answer with the decimal. Not sure but . I think I'm right.

Answer: 66 degrees

Explanation:

Check out the attached image below. Figure 1 is the original image without any additions or alterations. Then in figure 2, I extend segment BC to form a line going infinitely in both directions. This line crosses segment DE at point F as shown in the second figure.

Note how angles ABC and DFC are alternate interior angles. Because AB is parallel to DE (given by the arrow markers) this means angle DFC is also 24 degrees

Focus on triangle DFC. This is a right triangle. The 90 degree angle is at C.

So we know that the acute angles x and 24 are complementary. They add to 90. Solve for x

x+24 = 90

x+24-24 = 90-24

x = 66

That is why angle CDE is 66 degrees
