Answer:

Answer: Option d. 36,108 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have given a sequence of four terms and we know the first and last term.

Now we have to calculate the ratio of the terms so that we can complete the sequence.

We know the formula of the sequence A(n) = $A(1)r^{n-1}$

Now we know A(4)=324

A(1) = 12

n = 4

So we the values in the formula

324 = $12(r^{4-1)}$

324 = $12r^{3}$

$r^{3} =\frac{324}{12}$

$r=\sqrt[3]{27}$

r = 3

So the sequence will be 12,36,108,324

Can yah help me with those two question please :(

Solution 1 :-

Statement : corresponding angles in similar triangles must be congruent .

Answer : True

Solution 2 :-

Statement : The hypotenuse of a right angle triangle has to be opposite of 90 degree .

Answer : True

Reason : We know that the side opposite to largest angle in a triangle is largest . Since in a right angle triangle 90 degree is the largest angle and hypotenuse is the longest side therefore they must be opposite to each other .

HACTEHA [7]

the correct question is
1. You’re baking a circular cake for a party. Your cake can be any size you want
2. What will the radius of your cake be and how many slices will you be able to cut?
3. List the coordinates of any point in the coordinate plane.For your original discussion post, you only need to respond to #1, #2, and #3.View posts from your classmates and choose one to which you will respond.

Answer the following questions:
1. For the cake that your classmate is baking, what would be the central angle of each slice of cake?
2. If you eat two slices of cake that are side by side, what is the measure of the arc that these two slices intercept?
3. What is the circumference of the cake?
4. A circle to represent the cake is graphed on the coordinate plane. What equation represents the cake if it is centered at the point that your classmate listed for #2?
This is what my classmate posted.
1. The radius of my cake is 6 inches and I can cut 8 pieces.
2. (2,-3)

we know that
1) the radius of the cake is r=6 in and the cake will be cut into 8 pieces
2) the coordinates of any point in the coordinate plane is (2,-3)

part 1) what would be the central angle of each slice of cake?

The central angle of each slice would be found by dividing the total central angle of a circle (360°) by the number of slices (8),
so:
360/8=45 degrees

the answer part 1) is
Each slice would have a central angle of 45°.

Part 2) If you eat two slices of cake that are side by side, what is the measure of the arc that these two slices intercept?

The degree measure of the intercepted arc would be 2*45°=90°

The length in inches of the intercepted arc could be found:
Circumference=2*pi*r-----> C=2*pi*6----> 12*pi in

if 360° (full circle) has a length of---------> 12*pi in
90°----------------------> x
x=90*12*pi/360----> x=3*pi in

the formula to calculate the arc length is
[central angle in degrees/360°]*2*pi*r

Part 3) What is the circumference of the cake?

Circumference=2*pi*r-----> C=2*pi*6----> 12*pi in----> 37.68 in

the answer part 3) is
the circumference of the cake is 12*pi in or 37.68 in

Part 4) A circle to represent the cake is graphed on the coordinate plane. What equation represents the cake if it is centered at the point that your classmate listed for #2?

we know that
the center is the point (2,-3)
the equation of a circle is
(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²
where (h,k) is the center
and
r is the radius
so
(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²------- (x-2)²+(y+3)²=6²----> (x-2)²+(y+3)²=36

the answer part 4) is
(x-2)²+(y+3)²=36
