How many triangles can you draw with side lengths 2cm,3cm, and 8cm

How can you determine the difference between an arithmetic and geometric sequence if you are given the first 4 terms of the sequ

Bess [88]

Compute successive differences of the terms.

If they are all the same, the sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is the difference you have found.

If successive pairs of differences have the same ratio, the sequence is geometric and the common ratio is the ratio you have determined.

Example of arithmetic sequence:
1, 3, 5, 7
Successive differences are 3-1 = 2, 5-3 = 2, 7-5 = 2. All the differences are 2, which is the common difference of the sequence.

Example of geometric sequence:
1, -3, 9, -27
Successive differences are -3-1 = -4, 9-(-3) = 12, -27-9 = -36. These are not the same, so the sequence is not arithmetic. Ratios of successive pairs of differences are 12/-4 = -3, -36/12 = -3. These are the same, so the sequence is geometric with common ratio -3.

This question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

Katie is buying a refrigerator for her apartment. She's choosing between a regular fridge and a gigantic fridge (details are shown in the table below). She notices that the gigantic fridge costs 3 times as much as the regular fridge.

How many times as great is the volume of the gigantic fridge as the volume of the regular fridge?

Area of the base, Height, Price

Regular Fridge: 1m² / 2m / $200

Large Fridge: 2m² / $\frac{5}{2}$ m / $600
