Answer:

16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that x is the original width. If that original width is enlarged by a scale factor 5/2 that means that x is multiplied by 5/2 and after that multiplication we obtained new width, 40 cm.

Therefore,

x*(5/2) = 40

We multiply the equation by 2 and obtain:

x*5 = 40*2

5x = 80

Now we divide the equation by 5 and obtain:

x = 80/5

x = 16

We obtained that x, the original width was 16 cm

$\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}420\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^{k-1}$

The infinite geometric series is converges if |r| < 1.

We have r=1/6 < 1, therefore our infinite geometric series is converges.

The sum S of an infinite geometric series with |r| < 1 is given by the formula :

$S=\dfrac{a_1}{1-r}$

We have:

$a_1=420\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^{1-1}=420\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^0=420\\\\r=\dfrac{1}{6}$

substitute:

$S=\dfrac{420}{1-\frac{1}{6}}=\dfrac{420}{\frac{5}{6}}=420\cdot\dfrac{6}{5}=84\cdot6=504$

Answer: d. Converges, 504.

A Farmer Leans a 12 ft Ladder Against A Barn. The Base of the Ladder Is 6ft From The Barn.l To The Nearest Foot, How High on the

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

10 ft to nearest foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagoras theorem:

12^2 = 6^2 + h^2 where h is the height on the barn

h^2 = 12^2 - 6^2

h^2 = 144 - 36 = 102

h= √108 = 10.39
