Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2nd term = 2/5

5th term = 16/135

Nth term for any series is given by a r^n-1

where a is the forst term

r is the common ratio

for 2nd term

2nd \ term = ar^n-1 = 2/5\\2nd \ term = ar^2-1 = 2/5\\2nd \ term = ar= 2/5\\

for 5th term

5th \ term = ar^5-1 = 16/135\\\\5th \ term = ar^4 = 16/135\\

Since we have to eliminate a  and find r .

we can divide 5th term by second term

then we get the following equation

2nd term/ 5th \ term = ar/ar^4 = (2/5) / (16/135)\\=>1/r^3 = 2*135/5*16 \\=>1/r^3 = 27/8\\=>1/r = \sqrt[3]{27/8} \\=> 1/r = 3/2\\=> r = 2/3

\

Thus, common ratio is 2/3.

Given the right triangle below what is x?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

B 10.8 or

A 9.2 depending on what side of the triangle is "x".

Step-by-step explanation:

we cannot see the triangle and which side is which. you forgot to show us the picture (or describe it in more detail).

but I assume that "x" would be the Hypotenuse (the baseline of the right triangle, the side opposite of the 90 degree angle).

then by using Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

=>

x² = 10² + 4² = 116

x = sqrt(116) = 10.8

but if x is any of the other sides (and not the Hypotenuse), then you need to adapt the calculation.

for example, if the Hypotenuse is the side with 10, then Pythagoras' formula would look like this

10² = x² + 4²

x² = 10² - 4² = 84

x = sqrt(84) = 9.2 (and answer A would be correct).

or if the Hypotenuse is the side with 4, then

4² = x² + 10²

x² = 4² - 10² = -84

x = sqrt(-84)

and that did not make any sense for real distances. so, this configuration is actually impossible for a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

\cos(300 \degree)  \\  \\  = \cos(360 \degree - 60\degree)  \\  \\  = \cos( 60\degree) \\  \\  =  \frac{1}{2}  \\  \\  \huge \orange{ \boxed{ \therefore \: \cos(300 \degree)  = \frac{1}{2}  }}

Correct answer gets brainliest
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

V = 120 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is

V = BH where B is the base and h is the height

The base is the triangle

B = 1/2 (bh)

B = 1/2 6*4

B = 12

V = 12* 10

V = 120 cm^3
