<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

s_1 = 2.25, \ r = 2

============================================

Work Shown:

s_4 = 18\text{ is the fourth term}\\\\s_5 = r*s_4 = 18r\\\\s_6 = r*s_5 = r*(18r) = 18r^2 = 72\\\\\text{So,}\\\\18r^2 = 72\\\\r^2 = \frac{72}{18}\\\\r^2 = 4\\\\r = \sqrt{4}\\\\r = 2

Use that r value and s_4 = 18 to find the first term

s_n = s_1*(r)^{n-1}\\\\s_4 = s_1*(2)^{4-1}\\\\18 = s_1*8\\\\s_1 = \frac{18}{8}\\\\s_1 = 2.25

You could use s_6 = 72 in place of s_4 = 18 (just make sure to use n = 6 instead of n = 4).

A lab technician made a 14 cm diameter hole through the middle of a cylinder that has a diameter of 20 cm and a height of 28 cm.
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The volume of the finished cylinder is 4486.2 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the finished cylinder, we have to first find the volume of the hole (with 14 cm diameter and a height of 28 cm) and subtract it from the volume of the original cylinder (with diameter of 20 cm and a height of 28 cm).

Note: The hole is also cylindrical in shape.

The volume of a cylinder is given as:

V = \pi r^2h

where r = radius, h = height

VOLUME OF THE HOLE

The diameter of the hole is 14 cm, hence, its radius is 7 cm (14 / 2 = 7)

Its volume is:

V = \pi *7^2 * 28\\V = 4310.3 m^3

VOLUME OF THE ORIGINAL CYLINDER

The diameter of the cylinder is 20 cm, hence, its radius is 10 cm (20 / 2 = 10)

Its volume is:

V = \pi *10^2 * 28\\V = 8796.5 m^3

Hence, the volume of the finished cylinder will be:

8796.5 - 4310.3 = 4486.2 m^3

The volume of the finished cylinder is 4486.2 m^3
