to the right angle. If AB is 60 cm., AC is 80 cm., and the height
AD to BC is 48 cm., find the length for BC.

152+18,…, 152+150. Find the sum of all their hundredth digits.

14. Given a sequence of numbers starting with 3 and 8: 3, 8, 4, 2, 8, 6, 8, … The next

number is gotten by using the unit digit of the product of the two previous numbers

this sequence?

15. Take out two different numbers from the first 9 natural numbers (1 to 9) and add them
