Answer:
The common difference (or common ratio) = 0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
i) let the first term be = 80
ii) let the second term be =
. r = 80 × r = 60 ∴ r =
= 0.75
iii) let the third term be =
. r = 60 × r = 45 ∴ r =
= 0.75
iv) let the fourth term be =
. r = 45 × r = 33.75 ∴ r =
= 0.75
Therefore we can see that the series of numbers are part of a geometric progression and the first term is 80 and the common ratio = 0.75.
ANSWER
The length of a Diameter is 3.714
EXPLANATION
The circumscribed triangle is shown in the attachment.
We use the cosine ratio to find the altitude of the isosceles triangle.
Altitude =8cos(60°)
Altitude=4cm
Let the upper half of the altitude be y cm.
Then the radius of the circle is (y-4)cm
The upper radius meets the tangent at right angles.
From the smaller right triangle,
y=1.857
The diameter is 2y
=2(1.875)
The length of a Diameter is 3.714
