Answer:

20 gray squares

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for squares

Required

Number of gray squares when white = 16

First, we calculate the equation that represents both squares.

<u>The white squares</u>

a = 2 --- initial

d = 4 - 2 = 6 - 4

d = 2 -- difference between successive gray squares

So, the nth term is:

W_n = a + (n - 1)d

W_n = 2 + (n - 1)*2

W_n = 2 + 2n - 2

W_n = 2n

<u>The gray squares</u>

a = 6 --- initial

d = 8-6=10-8

d = 2 -- difference between successive gray squares

So, the nth term is:

G_n = a + (n - 1)d

G_n = 6 + (n - 1) *2

G_n = 6 + 2n - 2

G_n = 4 + 2n

When the white squares is 16

W_n = 16 --- Calculate n

W_n = 2n

16 = 2n

8 = n

n = 8

To get the number of gray squares;

Substitute n = 8 in G_n = 4 + 2n

G_n = 4 + 2 * 8

G_n = 20

<h3>Answer:  SAS</h3>

=================================

How to get this answer:

We're told that AD = BC, so that is one pair of sides that are congruent. This forms the first "S" in "SAS"

The "A" refers to the congruent angles, which happen to be angle DAB and angle CBA, both are 90 degrees

The second "S" in "SAS" is the second pair of congruent sides. Those two sides are the overlapping shared side of AB. It might help to peel the two triangles apart to get a better look.

Note how the angles are between the two pairs of sides mentioned.

What is the measure of
Helen [10]

Answer:

A = 37 degrees ; B = 82 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle A plus 143 must measure 180 degrees

angle A = 180 - 143 = 37 degrees

the sum of the inner angles of a triangle is 180 degrees

A + B + C = 180

37 + B + 61 = 180

B = 180 - 98 = 82 degrees
