Frank has a sheet of paper which is 1/624 inch thick. If the sheet is folded in half, the total thickness will be 1/312 inch A s

econd fold will produce a total thickness of 1/156 inch. What will be the thickness of the sheet if Frank folds it 8 times?

Answer:

The thickness of the sheet will be 16/39 inch after folded 8 times

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Frank has a sheet of paper of 1/624 inch thick

- The sheet is folded in half, the total thickness is 1/312 inch

- The sheet folded in half again and the total thickness is 1/156 inch

- We need to know the thickness of the sheet after folded 8 times

∵ The 1st thickness is 1/624 inches

∵ The 2nd thickness is 1/312 inch ⇒ after 1st fold

∵ The 3rd thickness is 1/156 inch⇒ after 2nd fold

∵ 1/312 ÷ 1/624 = 2

∵ 1/156 ÷ 1/312 = 2

∴ There is a common ratio 2 between each two fold

∴ The thicknesses of the sheet after each fold formed a

   geometric series

∵ Any term of the geometric series is a_{n}=a(r)^{n-1}, where

  a is the first term, r is the ratio between each two consecutive

  terms and n is the position of the term

∵ a = 1/312 because it is the thickness of the 1st fold

∵ r = 2 , n = 8

∴ a_{8}=\frac{1}{312}(2)^{8-1}=\frac{16}{39}

∴ The thickness of the sheet will be 16/39 inch after fold 8 times

You have to first mess around with the first shape, ABCD, and split that into a rectangle and a right triangle. once you do that, it's pretty painstaking, but simple.

if you look at it you can tell that EFGH is just half the size, but the same ratios and everything.

So, you would just take every perimeter measurement from ABCD, and divide it by two and then sum them together.

2.5 + 1.5 + 4.0 + 2.0 = 10

Triangle XYZ is located at X (−2, 1), Y (−4, −3), and Z (0, −2). The triangle is then transformed using the rule (x−1, y+3) to f
Airida [17]
<span>You have to apply the rule to the XYZ coordinates, so X'= (-2-1, 1+3) Y'= (-4-1, -3+3) Z'= (0-1, -2+3) So the new coordinates are X' (-3, 4), Y' (-5, 0), and Z'(-1, 1) This is actually translation not transformation, as the shape doesn't change it just moves</span>
