Answer: The answer is False.

Step-by-step explanation: In an arithmetic series with first term $a$ and common difference $d$ , the n-th term is given by

$a+(n-1)d.$

The given sequence is - 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, ...

Here, $a=3$ we cannot find the value of $d$ , since 9-3≠243-81.

So, the given sequence is not an arithmetic sequence. Furthermore, it is an infinite geometric sequence with first term 3 and common ration also 3.

Thus, the answer is False.

The length of a shadow of a building is 28m. The distance from the top of the building to the shadow is 38m. Find the height of

AlexFokin [52]

It appears that the Pythagorean theorem can be applied to this problem
(distance to shadow)² = (height of building)² + (length of shadow)²
(38 m)² = (height of building)² + (28 m)²
660 m² = (height of building)²
Then the height of the building is
height of building = √660 m ≈ 25.7 m

Find the area of the shaded region.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

area = 3.44 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

area of square = 4 x 4 = 16 cm²

area of circle = (3.14)(2²) = 12.56 cm²

area = 16 - 12.56 = 3.44 in²
