The series shown is an geometric series and the explicit formula is given by:
an=ar^(n-1)
where
a=first term
n=number of terms
r=common ratio
from the sequence:
a=30
r=5
thus the explicit formula will be:
an=30(5)^(n-1)
hence the answer is:
an=30(5)^(n-1)
Answer:
10 Square Inches
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Trapezoid</u>
Base =12 inches
Height =10 inches
Top side= 10 inches.
Area of a Trapezoid

Area of the Trapezoid=110 Square Inches
<u>Rectangle</u>
Base = 12 inches
Height =10 inches.
Area of a Rectangle=Base X Height
=12 X 10
=120 Square Inches
<u>Difference in Area between the two packages</u>
Difference=Area of Rectangle-Area of Trapezoid
=120-110
=10 Square Inches
