Jalen is in a 24-hour dance-a-thon as part of a fundraiser. He raised $50 in the first hour of the competition, then another $60 in the second hour, then another $72 in the third hour. If this pattern continues, what is the total amount of money he will raise if he stays for the entire competition?

$786

Step-by-step explanation:

50, 60, 72

find the difference between the first and second hour earnings to get 10.

get the difference of the second and third to get 12.

we realize that they are in increasing with even numbers from 10 going further, ie, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28etc

to get the total earnings for the 24 hrs, you have to keep on adding the next even number till you reach the 24th hour

you will get $786.

answer: 7270

step-by-step explanation:

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.
