Zephaniah places the numbers 1, 2, and 3 in the circles below so that each circle contains exactly one of 1, 2, and 3, and any two circles joined by a line do not
contain the same number. He then finds the sum of the numbers in the four
circles on the far right. What sums could he achieve?

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

step-by-step explanation:

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
