Answer:

405.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence where the nth term = a1 r^(n -1).

Here a1 = 5 and r = 3 so

the fifth term a5 = 5(3)^(5-1)

= 5 * 81

. The land area of Charlotte, NC is approximately 3 x 102 square miles.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Land area of Charlotte, NC = $3\times 10^2$ square miles

Scale to be used,

1 square miles = $6.4\times 10^2$ square acres

By this scale,

$3\times 10^2$ square miles = $(6.4\times 10^2)\times(3.2\times 10^2)$ square acres

= $(6.4\times 3)\times 10^{2+2}$

= $19.2\times 10^4$ square acres

= $1.92\times 10^5$ square acres

Therefore, Option A will be the correct option.
