32 and 5n + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The pattern of the number of sticks is

7, 12, 17

There is a common difference of 5 between consecutive terms.

Thus to obtain the number of sticks in number 6 , add 5 to previous terms, that is

a₄ = 17 + 5 = 22

a₅ = 22 + 5 = 27

a₆ = 27 + 5 = 32

There are 32 sticks in pattern number 6

(b)

The sequence is arithmetic with n th term

= a₁ + (n - 1)d

Where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 7 and d = 5 , then

= 7 + 5(n - 1) = 7 + 5n - 5 = 5n + 2

number of sticks in pattern number n is 5n + 2

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.
