Answer:
x = 48
Step-by-step explanation:
14^2 + b^2 = 50^2
196 + b^2 = 2500
-196 -196
b^2 = 2304
√b^2 = √2304
b = 48
Ladder makes a right triangle with the wall and ground. The hypotenuse = length of the ladder = 10 ft
Let the height be h
By Pythagorean theorem
10^2 = 3^2 + h^2
h^2 = 10^2 - 3^2 = 100 - 9 = 91
h = sqrt( 91) = 9.54 ft
Formula for geometric sequence is aₓ = arⁿ⁻1
a₅=4(3)⁵⁻¹
a₅=4(3)⁴
a₅=4(81)
a₅=324
