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

How many angle degrees does a minute hand travel in 1 minute? What angle does an hour hand travel in 1 min?
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

The hour hand moves 360 degrees / 12 in an hour = 30 degrees.

It follows that in a minute it moves 30 degrees / 60 = 1/2 degree.

Therefore in a second it moves 1/2 degrees / 60 = 1/120 degree.

Find the measure of the interior angles.
Mrac [35]

Answer:

x=22

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+2+x+3x+2=180

collect like terms

4x+x+3x=180-(2+2)

8x=180-4

8x=176

make x the subject of the formula

x=176/8

x=22

The quadratic equation -6=x^2+4x-1 in Standard form . What is the value of c in his new equation
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

c = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation in standard form is

ax² + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0

Given

- 6 = x² + 4x - 1 ( add 6 to both sides )

0 = x² + 4x + 5 ← in standard form

with c = 5
