The two shortest sides of a triangle measures 12 CM + 18 cm which of the following could be in the length of the longest side of the triangle a.30cm
b.17cm
c.27cm
d.11cm

the answer is 62

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

answer: 48
