Answer:

2.57

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio of this sequence is ...

(1/3)/(3/15) = (1/3)/(1/5) = 5/3

Each additional term is 5/3 times the previous one, so the 8th term will be (5/3)^4 times the 4th term (the last one given). It is ...

(1/3)·(5/3)^4 = 625/243 ≈ 2.57

_____

The generic n-th term (an) is ...

an = a1·r^(n-1)

where a1 is the first term and r is the common ratio. We can make use of this formula to find the 8th term:

a8 = (27/375)·(5/3)^7 = (3^3/3^7)·(5^7/(3·5^3)) = 5^4/3^5 = 625/243 ≈ 2.57

In the digram GH bisects FGI what is the answer for C.

zhannawk [14.2K]

The line GH bisects The triangle FGI meaning it divides it into two equal parts <em>(that is the definition if bisection); </em>therefore, the angles FGH and HGI are equal:

$3x-2=4x-13$

Now let us add 2 to both sides gives

$3x=4x-11$

subtracting 4x from both sides gives

$-x=-11$ $x=11.$

Hence, x = 11.

The measure of FGH is

$3x-2=3(11)-2=31$

(B)

The measure of HGI is

$4x-13=4(11)-13=31$

(C)

The measure of FGI is the sum of HGI and FGH:

$\begin{gathered} \text{FGI}=\text{HGI}+\text{FGH}=31+31 \\ FGI=62^o \end{gathered}$

An architecture firm creates blueprints for office buildings. Last week, they produced four rectangular blueprints for four diff

Answer:

The order from greatest to least :

Project B > Project A > Project D > Project C

Step-by-step explanation:

Project A : A 20-inch by 15-inch blueprint with a scale of 1 inch to 4 feet and a projected cost of $22,000.

Scale factor = $\frac{1 inch}{4 feet}$

Length of the office building on blueprint = l =20 inch

Width of the office building on blueprint = b =15 inch

Real length of the office building on blueprint = L

= $\frac{1 inch}{4feet}=\frac{20 inch}{L}$

L = 80 feet

Real width of the office building on blueprint = B

$\frac{1 inch}{4feet}=\frac{15 inch}{B}$

B = 60 feet

Area of the building = $L\times B=80 ft\times 60=4800 ft^2$

Cost of project = $22,000

Cost of project per square foot = $\frac{\$22,000}{4800 ft^2}=4.58 \$/ft^2$

Project B : A 10-inch by 8-inch blueprint with a scale of 1 inch to 8 feet and a projected cost of $25,000.

Scale factor = $\frac{1 inch}{8 feet}$

Length of the office building on blueprint = l =10 inch

Width of the office building on blueprint = b =8 inch

Real length of the office building on blueprint = L

= $\frac{1 inch}{8feet}=\frac{10 inch}{L}$

L = 80 feet

Real width of the office building on blueprint = B

$\frac{1 inch}{8feet}=\frac{8 inch}{B}$

B = 64 feet

Area of the building = $L\times B=80 ft\times 64=5120 ft^2$

Cost of project = $25,000

Cost of project per square foot = $\frac{\$25,000}{5120 ft^2}=4.88 \$/ft^2$

Project C : A 15-inch by 12-inch blueprint with a scale of 1 inch to 6 feet and a projected cost of $27,000.

Scale factor = $\frac{1 inch}{6 feet}$

Length of the office building on blueprint = l =15 inch

Width of the office building on blueprint = b =12 inch

Real length of the office building on blueprint = L

= $\frac{1 inch}{6 feet}=\frac{15 inch}{L}$

L = 90 feet

Real width of the office building on blueprint = B

$\frac{1 inch}{6feet}=\frac{12 inch}{B}$

B = 72 feet

Area of the building = $L\times B=90 ft\times 72ft=6480 ft^2$

Cost of project = $27,000

Cost of project per square foot = $\frac{\$27,000}{6480ft^2}=4.17\$/ft^2$

Project D :An 8-inch by 6-inch blueprint with a scale of 1 inch to 12 feet and a projected cost of $30,000

Scale factor = $\frac{1 inch}{12 feet}$

Length of the office building on blueprint = l = 8 inch

Width of the office building on blueprint = b =6 inch

Real length of the office building on blueprint = L

= $\frac{1 inch}{12 feet}=\frac{8 inch}{L}$

L = 96 feet

Real width of the office building on blueprint = B

$\frac{1 inch}{12feet}=\frac{6 inch}{B}$

B = 72 feet

Area of the building = $L\times B=96 ft\times 72ft=6912 ft^2$

Cost of project = $27,000

Cost of project per square foot = $\frac{\$30,000}{6912ft^2}=4.34\$/ft^2$

Project B > Project A > Project D > Project C
