Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the difference between consecutive terms is - 8
To obtain the next term in the sequence subtract 8 from the previous term.
next term = 56 - 8 = 48
The sequence is 72, 64, 56, 48
"Starting with three, every consecutive line has 2 less than twice the previous line."
this statement means that
your staring line has 3 marbles. You multiply the 3 marblesby 2 so
3x2=6
And then you minus it by 2
6-2=4
which means that you'll get 4 marbles for the next line.
So to get your 6th line, you count how many marbles is on the 5th line but since your diagram doesn't have the 5th line you have to figure out the 5th line by counting how.many marbles is on the 4th line.
4th line = 10 marbles
10×2=20
20-2=18
5th line = 18
18×2=36
36-2=34
So the 6th line has 34 marbles.

Answer:
RS/VU=ST/UT and ∠S≅∠U
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The <u>Side-Angle-Side Similarity Theorem </u>states that: If two sides in one triangle are proportional to two sides in another triangle and the included angle in both are congruent, then the two triangles are similar
In this problem the included angle is
∠S≅∠U
therefore
side RS must be proportional to side VU and side ST must be proportional to side UT
so
RS/VU=ST/UT
<em>Verify</em>
substitute the given values
12/6=16/8
2=2 -----> is true
therefore
The two sides are proportional
Keep change flip. You keep the first fraction the same, change the sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction. Example: 3/4 divided by 1/2 would be worked as 3/4 times 2/1
