Answer:

The 3rd term is

ar^2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, the first term of the sequence is

a_1=a

The common ratio of the sequence is

r

The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is :

a_n=a_1(r^{n-1})

To find the third term, we put n=3 to get:

a_n=a(r^{3-1})

This simplifies to:

a_3=ar^2

You must calculate the number of sheets of plywood needed for subflooring. Each sheet of plywood measures 4'by 8. The measuremen
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

25 sheets of plywood will be needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Each sheet of plywood measures 4ft*8ft=32ft^{2}.

We have to cover the surface of the house, minus the surface of the hole of the stairs.

Surface _{to cover} = Surface _{house} -Surface _{hole}= (28ft*30ft)-(12ft*4ft)= 840ft^{2}-48ft^{2}=792ft^{2}

To know how many sheets will be needed, we divide the surface to be covered by the surface of each sheet

Sheets_{needed} =\frac{Surface _{house}}{Surface _{sheet}} =\frac{792ft^{2}}{32\frac{ft^{2}}{sheet} } = 24,75 sheets

As we can't buy 0,75 of a sheet, we round it up, i.e. we will need 25 sheets of plywood for subflooring.
