A,ar,ar².... is the gp

now 2/15/1/5 = 2/3

and 4/45/2/15 = 2/3

therefore 2/3 is the common ratio

This is already answered by: <span>Cerverusdante</span>

So have the sequence: 1/5,2/15,4/45,8/135,16/405To check if the sequence is geometric, we are going to find its common ratio; to do it we are going to use the formula: r=(an)/(an-1)where  r is the common ratio  an is the current term in the sequence an is the previous term in the sequenceIn other words we are going to divide the current term by the previous term a few times, and we will to check if that ratio is the same:
For an= 2/15 and an-1=1/5 :r=(2/15)/(1/5)r=2/3
For an=4/45 and an-1=2/15:
r=(4/45)/(2/15)
r=2/3


For  an=8/135 and an-1=4/45 :r=(8/135)/(4/45)
r=2/3
As you can see, we have a common ratio!
We can conclude that our sequence is a geometric sequence and its common ratio is  2/3

Simplifying

y = -2x + 4

Reorder the terms:

y = 4 + -2x

Solving

y = 4 + -2x

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Simplifying

y = 4 + -2x

Considering it's dimensions and the formula, the volume of the cuboid is of 160 cm³.

<h3>What is the volume of a rectangular prism?</h3>

The volume of a rectangular prism, such as a cuboid, is given by the <u>area of the base multiplied by the height</u>, that is:

V = Ab x h

In this problem, the base is a square of sides 4 cm, with the height of 10 cm, hence the volume is given by:

V = 4² x 10 = 160 cm³.
