Answer:

The correct answers are Blue: \frac{1}{16} square units ; Green:  \frac{1}{64} square units; and Yes the sum converges.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the largest triangle is 1 square unit.

The area of the triangle which are colored and follow a geometric sequence with the common ratio being \frac{1}{4}.

Area of the not shaded triangle is given by 1 square unit.

Area of the orange triangle is given by 1 × \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4} square units.

Area of the blue triangle is given by \frac{1}{4} × \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{16} square units.

Area of the green triangle is given by \frac{1}{16} × \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{64} square units.

If the pattern continues definitely then it becomes an infinite geometric progression series with common ratio \frac{1}{4}. And thus the sum of area coverges as the ratio lies between -1 and 1.

7/8
3/4
I'm order for them to have the same denominator you need to multiply so:
¾×2=6/8
So she drank 6/8 pints of water

alex41 [277]

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

AB = CD and BC = DE

<u>To prove:</u>

AC = CE

            Statements                                       Reasons

  1. AB = CD                                                   Given
  2. AB + CB = CD + BC                Addition property of equality
  3. AB + BC = CD + DE                          Given: BC = DE
  4. AC = CE          By segment addition: AB + BC = AC and CD + DE = CE  

Therefore, AC = CE has been proved

(Geometry) PART A Find the value of X.
guapka [62]

Answer:

Part A: The answer is B.

As vertically opposite angles are equal

x+10=4x-35

10=3x-35

45=3x

x=15

Part B: The answer is D.

We'll substitute in the value of X in one equation.

x+10

=15+10

=25

As the two angles are equal bot must be 25 degrees.

Given: y = 2x^2 - 32x + 56

1) y = 2 [ x^2 - 16x] + 56

2) y = 2 [ (x - 8)^2 - 64 ] + 56

3) y = 2 (x - 8)^2 - 128 + 56

4) y = 2 (x - 8)^2 - 72 <----------- answer

Minimum = vertex = (h,k) = (8, - 72)

=>  x-ccordinate of the minimum = 8 <-------- answer
