What are the next two numbers in sequence? 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, ____, _____
Explanation
The sequence follows a pattern where each number is the sum of the previous number and the position of that number in the sequence. For example, 6 is the sum of 3 and 2 (the position of 6 in the sequence). Similarly, 10 is the sum of 6 and 3. Following this pattern, the next number should be the sum of 10 and 4 (the position of the next number), which is 14. Continuing this pattern, the next number should be the sum of 15 and 5, which is 20. However, the given answer does not follow this pattern and does not provide a clear explanation for the next two numbers in the sequence.Rate this question:

The side of a regular pentagon is 3 cm. What is the perimeter?

10 cm

15 cm
Correct Answer
C. 15 cmExplanation
A regular pentagon has all sides equal in length. In this case, each side is given as 3 cm. To find the perimeter, we need to add up the lengths of all the sides. Since there are 5 sides, we multiply the length of one side (3 cm) by 5. Therefore, the perimeter of the regular pentagon is 15 cm.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. UnlikelyExplanation
The chances of rolling a 3 on a 6-sided dice are unlikely because there is only one face with a 3, out of a total of six possible outcomes. This means that the probability of rolling a 3 is 1 out of 6, or approximately 16.67%. Therefore, it is less likely to roll a 3 compared to rolling any other number on the dice.Rate this question:
