Complete the explanation of why it is possible to draw more than two different rectangles with an area of 100 square units, but
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

100 has <u>5</u> factor pairs, so that many different rectangles can be drawn. 15 only has <u>2</u> factor pairs, so only that many different rectangles can be drawn.

Explanation:

there are 5 pairs of whole numbers that multiplied together will be 100:

  1. 100 x 1 = 100
  2. 50 x 2 = 100
  3. 25 x 4 = 100
  4. 20 x 5 = 100
  5. 10 x 10 = 100

while there are only 2 pairs of whole numbers that multiplied together will be 15:

  1. 15 x 1 = 15
  2. 3 x 5 = 15

Calculate S30 for the arithmetic sequence defined by {an}={3.1n-2}
timurjin [86]

Answer:

c) 1,381.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First term = 3.1 *1 - 2 = 1.1

2nd term = 3.1*2 - 2 =  4.2

3rd term = 3.1*3 - 2 = 7.3

so the common difference d = 3.1.

S30  = (30/2) [ 2* 1.1 + (30-1) * 3.1)]

= 1,381.5.
