Answer:

Given,

The number posts = 5,

Which are placing in ascending order,

Also, every post is \frac{5}{6} of the height of the next larger post.

If the larger post has the height of 3 feet,

Then the height of second larger post =  3\times \frac{5}{6}

Height of third larger post =  3\times \frac{5}{6}\times \frac{5}{6}

Height of fourth larger post =  3\times \frac{5}{6}\times \frac{5}{6}\times \frac{5}{6}

Height of fifth larger post or smallest post =  3\times \frac{5}{6}\times \frac{5}{6}\times \frac{5}{6}\times \frac{5}{6}

Which is the required expression,

By solving it,

The height of the smallest post  = 3\times \frac{625}{1296} = 1.45 feet ( approx )

The heights of the posts needed to support the house form a geometric sequence with initial value of 3 ft and r equal to 5/6. The height of the shortest post, that is the fifth post, is calculated through the equation,      
                                     h5 = a1 x (r)^(n - 1)
Substituting,
                                     h5 = (3 ft) x (5/6)^(5-1)
                                     h5 = 1.45 ft.

balu736 [363]

Answer:

15.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula would be V = Bh, the Base being LxW.

Since we already know the base and volume, we can substitute it into the formula.

306.52 = 19.4(h). Divide by 19.4, and you get 15.8 as your answer.
