Answer:

495

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the sum of the first 18 terms you have to find the 18th term and the first term using the equation given.

a1=3(1)-1 a1=2

a18=3(18)-1 a18= 53

Then plug in 53 for an, 18 for n, and 2 in for a1 in the sum equation: Sn=n/2(a1+an)

Sn=18/2(2+53) Solve for sn= 495

torisob [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

${a}^{2} = {8}^{2} + {5}^{2} \\ {a }^{2} = 64 + 25 \\ {a}^{2} = 89 \\ a = \sqrt{89} = 9.4 \: cm$

${17}^{2} = {12}^{2} + {b}^{2} \\ {b}^{2} = {17}^{2} - {12}^{2} \\ {b}^{2} = 289 - 144 \\ {b}^{2} = 145 \\ b = 12 \: cm$
