Common ratio can be found by dividing the 2nd term by the first
r = 48/6
r = 8
an = a1 * r^(n-1)
n = term to find = 8
a1 = first number = 6
r = common ratio = 8
now we sub
a(8) = 6 * 8^(8-1)
a(8) = 6 * 8^7
a(8) = 6 * 2097152
a(8) = 12582912 <==
He had 40 pencils left after he gave away 8, so originally he had 40 + 8 pencils, which is 48.
Now, he bought 4 packages, which had a total of 48 pencils, so divide 48 by 4, which is 12. He had 12 pencils in each package.
To determine the solution arithmetically, first add 8 to 40, then divide 48 by 4.
To determine the solution algebraically, set up and solve the equation 40 = 4x - 8.
Each package contained 12 pencils.
Hope this helps
Answer:
c=4√2
Step-by-step explanation:
Sine the triangle is a right triangle you can use the Pythagorean theorem. a^2+b^2=c^2
(4)^2+(4)^2=c^2
16+16=c^2
32=c^2
c=√32
c=4√2
