Answer:

  C)  65,535

Step-by-step explanation:

You can add up the 8 terms ...

  3, 12, 48, 192, 768, 3072, 12288, 49152

to find their sum is 65535.

_____

<em>Estimating</em>

Knowing the last term (49152) allows you to make the correct choice, since the sum will be more than that and less than double that.

_____

<em>Using the formula</em>

You know the formula for the sum of a geometric sequence is ...

  S = a1(r^n -1)/(r -1)

where a1 is the first term (3), r is the common ratio (4), and n is the number of terms (8).

Filling in the values, you find the sum is ...

  S = 3(4^8 -1)/(4-1) = 4^8 -1 = 65535

Hi there!

(32 + 60) ÷ 135 = x

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

That is not enough information.
If you look at the graphic, diagonal BD (along with point E), can be moved up and down the long diagonal and the two diagonals will still have the same length.  You need to state additional information.
