Hey there!
A common ratio is just that number that you multiply or divide to each number that gets you the next in a geometric sequence. In this sequence, we know the numbers are getting bigger and we're multiplying, so we want to know what you're multiplying by the first number to get to the second. We can call this unknown number x. SO if we start with the first number and set up an equation, we get:
3x = 12
Divide both sides by 3
x = 4
Therefore, your common ratio is 4.
To check, you can multiply all the next numbers by 4 to see that it all checks out.
Hope this helps!

Answer: 1.18519
Step-by-step explanation:
1 5/27 = 32/27
= approximate value = 1.18519
Part A) Find BC, the distance from Tower 2 to the plane, to the nearest foot.
in the triangle ACD
sin16=CD/(7600+BD)--------> CD=sin16*(7600+BD)---------> equation 1
in the triangle BCD
sin24=CD/BD-----------> CD=sin24*BD---------------> equation 2
equation 1=equation 2
sin16*(7600+BD)=sin24*BD-----> sin16*7600+sin16*BD=sin24*BD
sin24*BD-sin16*BD=sin16*7600----> BD=[sin16*7600]/[sin24-sin16]
BD=15979 ft
in the triangle BCD
cos24=BD/BC---------> BC=BD/cos24-------> 15979/cos24-------> 17491
BC=17491 ft
the answer part 1) BC is 17491 ft
Part 2) Find CD, the height of the plane from the ground, to the nearest foot.
CD=sin24*BD ( remember equation 2)
BD=15979 ft
CD=sin24*15979 -----------> CD=6499 ft
the answer part 2) CD is 6499 ft
