Answer:

$a_{89}=1128$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given arithmetic progression is -16, -3, 10,...

We observe that the first term of this progression is $a_1=-16$ .

The constant difference is

$d=-3--16\\d=-3+16=13$

The 89th term of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

$a_{89}=a_1+88d$

We substitute the first term and the common difference to obtain:

$a_{89}=-16+88(13)$

We simplify to get:

$a_{89}=-16+1144$

This simplifies to:

$a_{89}=1128$

Hi there!

We are looking for perpendicular angles, which means the angle between the streets is 90 degrees. So, each time we need to find the street that intersects the given street with a 90 degree angle.

On this map, Oxford Street is perpendicular to Waterloo St., and Rosewood Street is perpendicular to Oak St..

The answers are (in correct order): Waterloo St. and Oak St..
