Answer:

The answer to your question is:   x = 115.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Student's height = 5 ft 3 in = 63 in

Student's shadow = 4 ft 6 in = 54 in

Sculpture's shadow = 8 ft 3 in = 99 in

Sculpture's height = ?

Process

Thales' theorem

                            63 in/54 in = x/99

                            x = 99 x 63 / 54

                            x = 115.5 in

The 21st, 37th and 56th term of an A.P. are consecutive terms of a G.P. Find the common ratio of the G.P.​
mash [69]

just use what you know about this stuff

(a+36d)/(a+20d) = (a+55d)/(a+36d)

(a+36d)^2 = (a+55d)(a+20d)

a^2+72ad+1296d^2 = a^2+75ad+1100d^2

3ad = 196d^2

3a = 196d

That is, for any value of n,

a=196n

d=3n

So, there is no unique solution.

If n=1, then a=196 and d=3. The terms are

196+20*3 = 256

196+36*3 = 304

196+55*3 = 361

304/256 = 361/304

You can easily verify that it works for any value of n.

I will mark brainliest!
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like M is composed of all real numbers and that U = R also means its composed of all real numbers. This means that M and U are equal and both are composed of all real numbers.

To define the complement of M, it includes all values which are not in M. However, since M already has all real numbers and U doesn't have any values that M doesn't then the complement is nothing. It is an empty set with no items in it. This means A is the correct answer.

How do you find the nth term in a sequence?​
sesenic [268]

sequences can be expressed in terms of the nth term of the sequence. In this case, the nth term = 2n. To find the 1st term, put n = 1 into the formula, to find the 4th term, replace the n's by 4's: 4th term = 2 × 4 = 8.

Does this help?
