Answer:

We need to start with 5 kg of mushrooms

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of the dried mushrooms = mushrooms *  percentage of weight kept

percentage of weight kept = 1- 80% = 20 %

We want 1 kg of dried mushrooms.   Substitute in what we know

1 kg = mushrooms * 20%

1 kg  = mushrooms * .2

Divide  each side by .2

1 /.2 = mushroom *.2 /.2

5 kg = mushrooms

We need to start with 5 kg of mushrooms

6 acts as the base. 15 acts as the height, because it extends from the base to meet vertex opposite the base at a 90° angle.

General formula for triangle area
a = 1/2 × b × h

plug in the numbers
a = 1/2 × 6 × 15
a = 90/2
a = 45

The area of the triangle is 45 units²

Answer:

{8, 24, 72, 216, 648}

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence:

In a geometric sequence, the quotient of consecutive terms is always the same, that is, each term is the previous term multiplied by the common ratio.

In this question:

First element is 8, common ratio of 3. So

Second term: 8*3 = 24

Third term: 24*3 = 72

Fourth term: 72*3 = 216

Fifth term: 216*3 = 648

So the answer is {8, 24, 72, 216, 648}
