The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic progression is 252. if the first term is -16 and the last term is 72, find the number of terms and the common difference of the a. p

There are 9 terms, and the common difference is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is:

S = n (a₁ + aₙ) / 2

where a₁ is the first term and aₙ is the last term.

252 = n (-16 + 72) / 2

n = 9

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

aₙ = a₁ + d (n−1)

where d is the common difference.

72 = -16 + d (9−1)

d = 11

There are 9 terms, and the common difference is 11.

34.5 cm

step-by-step explanation:

generally for a circular segment of angle, θ° and radius r

arc length

= (θ/360) x circumference

= (θ/360) x 2πr

in our case, θ = 60°, π=3.142 and r = 33 cm

substitute into above formula

arc length

= (60/360) x 2(3.142)( 33) = 34.5 cm

m∠5 + m∠3 = m∠1   is true.

m∠5 + m∠6 = 180 is true

m∠2 +m∠3 = m∠6   is true

m∠2 +m∠3 +m∠5 = 180   is true
