You are multiply by 6 each time.
The next term is -216 x 6
-216 x 6= -1296
-1296 is your answer
hope this helps
One possible way:
-86+(4*12)=-38
-86 is the number where the diver is. 86 feet below the surface.
4*12 is the total number of feet he has ascended in 12 minutes.
Because he is ascending, so you add 4*12 (or 48) to -86.
The answer is -38, meaning he's 38 feet below the surface.
The diver is now 38 feet below the surface.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
Construct MN.
Since M is the midpoint of OA, OM = MA
Similarly, N is the midpoint of OB.
Thus, ON = NB.
Now, in Δs OMN and OAB,
∠MON = ∠AOB (common angle)
(sides are in proportional ratio; OA = 2OM and OB = 2ON)
∴ Δs OMN and OAB are similar (2 sides are in proportion, with the included angle)
Since they are similar, then ∠OMN = ∠OAB (corresponding angles of similar triangles are equal)
But since ∠OMN = ∠OAB, then that means MN || AB (corresponding angles of two lines must be equal since they also sit relative to the transverse line, OA)
Thus, AB || MN (QED)
