Answer:
-0.329
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for Geometric ratio is
an = ar^n - 1
Where
a = First term = 18
r = Common ratio = ?
n = Number of term= 6
Hence
a6 = 18 × r^6-1
From the question
a6 = -2/29
Hence:
-2/29 = 18 × r^6-1
-2/29 = 18 × r⁵
Divide both sides by 18
-2/29 ÷ 18 = 18 × r⁵/18
-2/29 × 1/18 = r⁵
r⁵ = -1/261
Take the fifth root of both sides
⁵√(r⁵) = ⁵√(-1/261)
r = -0.3286032834
Approximately = -0.329
Therefore, Common ratio = -0.329
Entire distance = 1,320
Entire time = 5 hours
bus avg = 40 km/h
plane avg = 600 km/h
Working this by trial and error
1 hour bus 4 hour plane = 40 + 2,400 = 2,800 distance (too high)
2 hour bus 3 hour plane = 80 + 1,800 = 1,880 distance (too high)
3 hour bus 2 hour plane = 120 + 1,200 = 1,320 distance (Correct!!)
So, they traveled 3 hours by bus and 2 hours by plane
(yes, you had the right answer).
x=2 because, the question says that the sides are congruent. Therefore if the side away form 5 is one less than it so will x be one less than 3 .
What do you think the answer is? Tell me and I will help you some more! :)
Angle A= angle B
angle C= angle a(2)
a+a+2a=180 (since all triangles equal 180 degrees)
180=4a
180/4
a=45
angle A and angle B both equal 45 degrees. Angle C equals 90 degrees.
