Answer:

first term a=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of the first 6 terms S6 = 15624

common ratio r= 5

n= 6

first term a=?

Formula: S6= a(r^n-1)/r-1

15624 = a( 5^6-1)/5-1

15624 = a(15625-1)/4

15624= a( 15624)÷4

15624= 15624a÷4

Cross multiply

15624×4 = 15624a

62496 = 15624a

divide both sides by 15624

62496÷15624 = 15624a÷15624

4 = a

a= 4

A triangle should have 3 points and 3 sides. Let say that the point is ABC. Then the sides would be AB, AC and BC.
There are 3 strings with a different length that can be put into the sides. Assuming the string can be used once, then the possible way would be:
3!/(1+3-3)!= 3!/1!= 3*2*1= 6 ways

M<PLA = 1/2 m PYA
110 = 1/2 (12x - 20)
12x - 20 = 220
12x = 220 + 20 = 240
x = 240 / 12 = 20
