Answer:

a₁ = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₃ = 10 and a₅₁ = - 182, then

a₁ + 2d = 10 → (1)

a₁ + 50d = - 182 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

48d = - 192 ( divide both sides by 48 )

d = - 4

Substitute d = - 4 into (1) and evaluate for a₁

a₁ + 2(- 4) = 10

a₁ - 8 = 10 ( add 8 to both sides )

a₁ = 18

Find the surface area of each figure.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

For a cylinder of radius R and height H, the surface area is given by:

A = 4*pi*R^2 + H*(2*pi*R)

Where pi = 3.14

We can just use that formula for each one of the given cylinders.

1) We can see that the diameter is 10 yd, and the radius is half of the diameter, then the radius is:

R = 10yd/2 = 5yd

And the height is 3yd, then H = 3yd

Replacing these in the area equation, we get:

A = 4*3.14*(5 yd)^2 + 3yd*(2*3.14*5yd) = 408.2 yd^2

2) Here we can see that the diameter is 24 cm, then the radius is:

R = 24cm/2 = 12cm

And the height is H = 10cm

Then the area is:

A = 4*3.14*(12 cm)^2 + 10cm*(2*3.14*12cm) = 2,562.24 cm^2

3) In this case we have a radius equal to 12 cm, and a height equal to 7 cm, then the area is:

A = 4*3.14*(12 cm)^2 + 7cm*(2*3.14*12cm) = 2,336.16cm^2

4) Here is hard to see the measures, I think that here we have:

diameter = 8m

Then R = 8m/2 = 4m

And the height is also 8m, H = 8m

Then the area is:

A = 4*3.14*(4 m)^2 + 8 m*(2*3.14*4m) =401.92 m^2
