Answer:
482
Step-by-step explanation:
We can see that the numbers shown resemble an arithmetic sequence because they have a common difference. The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:
Where is the first term,
is the nth term, and
is the common difference. To find the 61st term, all we need is the first term and the common difference. By looking at what given, we can say the first term is 2. Now, to find the common difference, we find the difference of a term from the term before it. In this case we can do
, which is
, or the common difference. Since we have everything we need, it can be plugged into the equation:
So, the 61st term is 482.
Look at the image below where I labeled the sides
To solve this you must use Pythagorean theorem:
a and b are the legs (the sides that form a perpendicular/right angle)
c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)
In this case...
a = 4
b = 6
c = unknown
^^^Plug these numbers into the theorem
simplify
16 + 36 =
52 =
To remove the square from x take the square root of both sides to get you...
√52 = x
^^^Unsimplified radical
2√13
^^^Simplified radical
7.21
^^^Rounded to hundedths
Hope this helped!
