im helping so thanks for the
Step-by-step explanation:
This gives you the answer, look at it tells you how to solve this and get your answer
% increase = 100 - 85
--------- * 100
85
= 17.65
= 18 % to nearest per cent
Answer:
12 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is written as:
1/2(b1 + b2)h
h = height = 16 cm
b1 = Length of one parallel side = 9cm
b2 = Length of second parallel side = ?
Area of trapezoid = 168cm²
The formula to find the length of the second parallel side =
b2 = 2A/h - b1
b2 = 2 × 168/16 - 9
b2 = 336/16 - 9
b2 = 21 - 9
b2 = 12cm
Therefore, the length of the second parallel side is 12 cm
Answer:
341
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of people who know the art of quilting in each successive generation is
1, 4, 16, …
These numbers represent a geometric sequence where each term has the form
aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹
In your sequence, a₁ = 1 and r = 4.
Then, the formula for your sequence is
aₙ = 4ⁿ⁻¹
Sum over five generations
The formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series is
Sum = a₁[(1 - rⁿ)/(1 - r)]
Sum = 1[(1 - 4⁵)/(1 - 4)
= (1 - 1024)/(-3)
= -1023/-3
= 341
If the process continues for five generations, 341 people will know the art of quilting.
