Answer:

In a geometric sequence, the common ratio can be find dividing the second term by the first term.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the common ratio can be find dividing the second term by the first term.

For instance, a geometric sequence: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32...

Common ratio (r)= 4/2 = 2

r = 2

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.

Hello :
common ratio of a geometric sequence is : r = (an+1)/(an)
for exemple a geometric sequence: 3,6,12,24
r= 24/12 = 12/6= 6/3 = 2

A prism is filled with 70 cubes with a side length of 1 2 unit. What is the volume of the prism in cubic units? Enter answer as

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The volume of the cube is;

$8\dfrac{3}{4} \ cube \, units$

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters of the prism are;

The number of cubes used to fill the prism, n = 70 cubes

The side length of each cube, s = 1/2 unit

The volume of the cube, V = n × s³

∴ Therefore, the volume of the cube, V = 70 × (1/2)³ = $8\dfrac{3}{4} \ cube \, units$ = 8.75 cube unit

AB and DE are chords that intersect at point F inside circle C as shown. If the measure of arc EA= 50 degrees and the measure of

defon

Answer:

Part 1) $m\angle AFE=55^o$

Part 2) $m\angle EFB=125^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) what is the measure of angle AFE

we know that

The measure of the interior angle is the semisum of the arches that comprise it and its opposite.

Note: In this problem the correct measure of arc EA is 40 degrees (see the picture)

$m\angle AFE=\frac{1}{2}(arc\ EA+arc\ DB)$

substitute the given values

$m\angle AFE=\frac{1}{2}(40^o+70^o)=55^o$

Part 2) what is the measure of angle EFB?

we know that

$m\angle AFE+m\angle EFB=180^o$ ---> by supplementary angles (form a linear pair)

substitute the given value

$55^o+m\angle EFB=180^o$

$m\angle EFB=180^o-55^o=125^o$

A rectangular fish tank has a base that is 8 inches by 7 inches. How much water will it take to fill the tank to a depth of 5 in

Blizzard [7]

V=LWH
L=8
W=7
H=5

V=8*7*5=280 in^3

you need 280 in^3 of water
