Answer:

answer is 90 for first term

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the terms be  

First term x

We will use the formula s∞=x/1−r to find the sum of an infinite geometric series, where −1<r<1.  

We know the sum and the common ratio, so we'll be solving for x where r =4/5

s∞=x/1−r

450=x/1−4/5

450=x/1/5

450=5x

x=90

this is the first term x1 = 90

we know that common ratio is 4/5, so multiplying the first term by factor 4/5 to get the second term  

90 x 4/5=   72 second term

Answer:

C) 90

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of an infinite geometric series is:

S = a₁ / (1 − r)

where a₁ is the first term and r is the common ratio.

450 = a₁ / (1 − 4/5)

450 = a₁ / (1/5)

450 = 5a₁

a₁ = 90

Am I right?? <br> * Show examples &amp; details if I am wrong!! *
baherus [9]

Yes, you are correct.

From the image, we can see 3 triangles, the large triangle and the two triangles that make the larger triangle.

All 3 of these triangles are similar since they're angle measurements are the same (can be proven by geometry).

We can gather the following information from the given information.

  • The largest triangle (the one made up of two triangles) has a hypotenuse of 3+9=12, and a leg length of x. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is 12/x
  • The second largest triangle has a hypotenuse length x and leg length 9. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is x/9

We know the hypotenuse to corresponding leg ratio must be equal since these two triangles are similar. Thus, we have the equation:

12/x = x/9

Using the cross product property gives us:

x² = 9 × 12

x² = 108

Taking the square root of both sides gives us:

x = √108

= 6 √3

Thus, your answer is correct. Great job!

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
