SEQUENCE: 6, 18, 54, 162
18/6 = 3
54/18 = 3
162/54 = 3
then, r (common ratio) = 3
_________________________________________
RECURSIVE RULE: r = 3
an = a(n - 1) × r [formula]
ANSWER: an = a(n - 1) × 3
_________________________________________
ITERIATIVE RULE: r = 3, a1 = 6
an = a1 × r^(n - 1) [formula] [ ^(n-1) is an exponent]
ANSWER: an = 6 × 3^(n - 1)

Answer:
432 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the surface area of a cuboid, there is a formula.
2lw+2lh+2hw
Length is l, height is h, and width is w.
2(12)(8)+2(12)(6)+2(6)(8)
Multiply all the terms.
336+96
Add both the terms.
= 432
The surface area of the open cuboid is 432cm².
