\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
n&term&value\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
2&a_2&20\\
3&a_3&20r\\
4&a_4&20rr\\
&&20r^2\\\\
&&\frac{45}{4}
\end{array}\implies \stackrel{4^{th}~term}{20r^2=\cfrac{45}{4}}\implies r^2=\cfrac{45}{80}
\\\\\\
r^2=\stackrel{simplified}{\cfrac{9}{16}}\implies r=\sqrt{\cfrac{9}{16}}\implies r=\cfrac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{16}}\implies r=\cfrac{3}{4}

Hw 24 area of parallelogram
Papessa [141]

Answer:

<h2>The width, x, of this parallelogram is 16 cm.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In #14, the area of the parallelogram is 528 cm².

This area is also the value of the formula A = L·W:

A = 528 cm² = (33 cm)·W

To determine the width, W, of this parallelogram, we perform the following division:

W = (528 cm²) / (33 cm) = 16 cm

The width, x, of this parallelogram is 16 cm.
