Geometric sequences go up due to a common ratio. Here the common ratio can be worked out by dividing a term by its previous term e.g term 2 divided by term 1.

Therefore the common ratio is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
The way to find missing numbers in equivalent ratios is to multiply the means (the first denominator and the second numerator) and multiply the extremes (the first numerator and the second denominator). It sounds really complicated, but it is quite simple =)
2/5 = x/10
The means in this equivalent ration are 5 and x. The extremes are 2 and 10.
5x = 20
Now solve =)
x = 4
That was pretty simple. Let's move on to the next one. Do exactly the same thing here:
4/10 = 6/x
60 = 4x
15 = x
That was pretty simple, too! Keep going!
6/15 = x/25
15x = 150
x = 10
All of these should be equal, so check them by dividing:
2/5 = 0.4
4/10 = 0.4
6/15 = 0.4
10/25 = 0.4
They all check out, so these are your answers: 2/5, 4/10, 6/15, 10/25
I really hope this helps you =)
if we take 30 to be the 100%, what is 27 off of it in percentage?

Answer:
The difference in the areas of the cross-sections is 20 m².
Step-by-step explanation:

Complete the square.


Use de Moivre's theorem to compute the square roots of the right side.


Now, taking square roots on both sides, we have


Use de Moivre's theorem again to take square roots on both sides.
