Answer:

19.375 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

A ball is dropped from a height of 10 meters. Each time it bounces, it reaches 50 percent of its previous height.

We have to find the total vertical distance the ball has traveled when it hits the ground the fifth time.

It is a geometric series with first term(a)= 10

                   common ratio(r)=1/2=0.5

                   and no. of terms(n)= 5

We have to find the sum of this geometric series=  

\dfrac{a\times (1-r^n)}{1-r}\\ \\=\dfrac{10\times (1-0.5^5)}{1-0.5}\\ \\=\dfrac{10\times 0.96875}{0.5}\\ \\=19.375

Hence, The total vertical distance the ball has traveled when it hits the ground the fifth time is:

  19.375 meters

So we need to find the sum of the first 5 terms.

You have told me that the first term is 10 meters, and that r = 0.5 per term.

With this knowledge, we can use the formula s_n=a₁((1-r^n)/(1-r)).

Plugging in the terms that we know...

s₅=10((1-0.5⁵)/(1-0.5))

s₅=10(0.96875/0.5)

s₅=10(1.9375)

s₅=19.375

With s₅, we can determine that the ball has traveled a total of 19.375 meters after 5 bounces.

I think it's false.... 5/6 is 83.33% as a percent so I don't think it's true.

<h3>What is an intersecting lines?</h3>

A link is known to be intersecting if two or more lines are said to have cross one another in a given plane.

Note that the intersecting lines are known to be one that often share a common point, and it is one that can be seen on all the intersecting lines, and it is known to be the point of intersection.

Looking at the image attached, you can see how plane A and line c intersecting at all points on line c and also GM and GH and line CD and plane X as they are not intersecting
