Answer:

19.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have:

d_1=1 mi is the distance travelled during the 1st day

d_2=1.3 mi is the distance travelled during the 2nd day

d_3=1.9 mi is the distance travelled during the 3rd day

d_4=3.1 mi is the distance travelled during the 4th day

We notice that the difference between the distance travelled on the (n+1)-th day and the distance travelled on the n-th day doubles every day. In fact:

d_2-d_1=0.3\\d_3-d_2=2\cdot 0.3 = 0.6\\d_4-d_3=2\cdot 0.6 = 1.2

Which can be rewritten using the general formula:

d_{n+1}-d_n=2(d_n-d_{n-1})

This means that

d_{n+1}=d_n+2(d_n-d_{n-1})

By applying this formula recursively, we can find the 7th term, which is the distance travelled on the 7th day:

d_1=1\\d_2=1.3\\d_3=1.9\\d_4=3.1\\d_5=3.1+2\cdot 1.2=5.5\\d_6=5.5+2\cdot 2.4=10.3\\d_7=10.3+2\cdot 4.8=19.9 mi

So, the  distance travelled on the 7th day is 19.9 miles.

Create an equation to solve for x using the trapezoid midsegment formula:
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Equation for x:    3x - 6 = \frac{2x - 1 + 25}{2}

x = 9

CD = 17

GH = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The midsegment formula for a trapezoid is

GH = \frac{CD + FE}{2}

3x - 6 = \frac{2x - 1 + 25}{2}

6x - 12 = 2x + 24

4x = 36

x = 9

CD = 2x - 1 = 2(9) - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17

GH = 3x - 6 = 3(9) - 6 = 3 = 27 - 6 = 21
