sn =  \frac{a(1 -  {r}^{n}) }{1 - r}
hence,

65=5(1-3^n)/1-3
( multiply by -2 on both sides )
130=5(1-3^n)
26=1-3^n
27=3^n

from here, you can use lg to solve for n.

lg 27 = lg 3^n
lg 27 = n lg 3
n = lg 27 ÷ lg 3

hence, n = 3

Answer:

(1/5 h)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/25 h^2

To make this a perfect square we need to take the square root and then square it

(sqrt(1/25 h^2))^2

we know that sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

(sqrt(1/25) sqrt(h^2))^2

(1/5 h)^2
