This is a geometric sequence because each term is twice the value of the previous term.  So this is what would be called the common ratio, which in this case is 2.  Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:

a(n)=ar^(n-1), a(n)=nth value, a=initial value, r=common ratio, n=term number

In this case we have r=2 and a=1 so

a(n)=2^(n-1)  so on the sixth week he will run:

a(6)=2^5=32

He will run 32 blocks by the end of the sixth week.

Now if you wanted to know the total amount he runs in the six weeks, you need the sum of the terms and the sum of a geometric sequence is:

s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r)  where the variables have the same values so

s(n)=(1-2^n)/(1-2)

s(n)=2^n-1 so 

s(6)=2^6-1

s(6)=64-1

s(6)=63 blocks

So he would run a total of 63 blocks in the six weeks.

A triangular prism is shown below. the base of the prism is a right triangle.
Nimfa-mama [501]
The product is 60.

We start out with the information we have.  This forms a right triangle, with one leg being 24, the other leg x, and the hypotenuse 30.  Using the Pythagorean theorem we have

x²+24²=30²
x²+576=900

Subtract 576 from both sides:
x²+576-576 = 900-576
x²=324

Take the square root of each side:
√x²=√324
x=18

We know that the formula for the volume of a triangular prism is V=(1/2bh)H, where b is the base of the triangle, h is the height of the triangle, and H is the height of the prism. Substituting our known information we have:

720=(1/2*18*24)y
720=216y

Divide both sides by 216:
720/216 = 216y/216
3 1/3 = y

This means the product of x and y would be:
18(3 1/3)
18(10/3)
180/3

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the sides of a right triangle are always less than the length of the hypotenuse.

Also, the ratio of any side of a triangle and the hypotenuse is always less than 1.
