The area of the rectangle is 108 square centimeters.

Given Information

The following information has been given in the question,

Length of the diagonal of the rectangle, l = 15 cm

Length of one of the sides of the rectangle, a = 9 cm

Let the other side of the rectangle be b.

Finding the Other Side of the Rectangle

According to Pythagoras Theorem,

(hypotenuse)² = (base)² + (perpendicular)²

Applying this theorem in the right-angle triangle formed by the diagonal and 9cm side of the rectangle, we get,

l² = a² + b²  [∵ The diagonal makes the hypotenuse]

(15)² = (9)² + b²

b² = (15)² - (9)²

b² = 225 - 81

b² = 144

b = √144

b = 12 cm

Calculating the Area of the Rectangle

Area of the rectangle, A = a × b

A = 9 × 12

A = 108 cm²

What is the recursive formula of the geometric sequence?<br> 1, 5, 25, 125, 625, ...
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The recursive formula of the geometric sequence is given by option D; an = (1) × (5)^(n - 1) for n ≥ 1

<h3>How to determine recursive formula of a geometric sequence?</h3>

Given: 1, 5, 25, 125, 625, ...

  • first term, a = 1

  • Common ratio, r = 25/5

= 5

  • n = number of terms

an = a × r^(n - 1)

= 1 × 5^(n - 1)

an = (1) × (5)^(n - 1) for n ≥ 1
