Answer:  \bold{S_{\infty}=\dfrac{3125}{2}=1562.5}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

  a₁,  375,  a₃,   a₄,  81

First, let's find the ratio (r). There are three multiple from 375 to 81.

375r^3=81\\\\r^3=\dfrac{81}{375}\\\\\\r^3=\dfrac{27}{125}\qquad \leftarrow simplied\\\\\\\sqrt[3]{r^3} =\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{27}{125}}\\ \\\\r=\dfrac{3}{5}

Next, let's find a₁

a_1\bigg(\dfrac{3}{5}\bigg)=375\\\\\\a_1=375\bigg(\dfrac{5}{3}\bigg)\\\\\\a_1=125(5)\\\\\\a_1=625

Lastly, Use the Infinite Geometric Sum Formula to find the sum:

S_{\infty}=\dfrac{a_1}{1-r}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{625}{1-\frac{3}{5}}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{625}{\frac{2}{5}}\\\\\\.\quad = \dfrac{625(5)}{2}\\\\\\.\quad = \large\boxed{\dfrac{3125}{2}}

Jun used 56 cm of ribbon to go around the edge of a rectangular lid. The lid was 13 cm long. What is the width of the lid?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

The width of the rectangular lid is 15 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Length of the ribbon used by Jun = 56 cmLength of the rectangular lid = 13 cm

2. What is the width of the lid? The ribbon used by Jun is equivalent to the perimeter of the rectangular lid, therefore:Perimeter = 2 * Length + 2 * WidthReplacing with the values we have:56 = 2 * 13 + 2 * Width56 = 26 + 2Width2Width = 56 - 262Width = 30Width = 30/2Width = 15
