and for the last part, in one complete circle its 360 degrees. and in similar triangles the corresponding angles remain the same. thus 360 is divided by the angle we calculated in d(i) i.e. 18.4

Yes I would appreciate that! :)
and for the second paper i think u need to make two simultaneous equations. so first put n=3. Thus the Right Hand Side (RHS) will be equal to 14. u'll get an equation of a and b. then put n=4 and this time the RHS will be equal to 30. u'll get another equation in terms of a and b. solve both simultaneously and u'll get the values :D
any problem lemme know :p

Are we supposed to use the cubic sequence formula? an^3+bn^2+cn+d

I get n=19 but marking scheme says its n=20

But i believe that the above sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometrical... so the formulas cannot be applied :/
its a quadratic sequence . quadratic sequence is when the common difference comes to the second level.
ive uploaded some images showing the working . hope it helps. :)

25-0.5=24.5 , 25+0.5=25.5
0.3-0.05=0.25 , 0.3+0.05=0.35
24.5/0.25=98
24.5/0.35=70
25.5/0.25=102
25.5/0.35=72.86
the lowest is 70 so it is the answer
at times u have to calculate all and look for the lowest.
hope it helps. Cheers!
