Answer:

13.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

hyp² = (2nd longest side)² + (shortest side)². Here the numbers are:

(24 cm)² = (20 cm)² + (shortest side)², or

576 - 400 = 176 = hyp²

Taking the square root of both sides, we get (shortest side) = 13.3 cm

.Given the functions f(n) = 500 and g(n) = (nine tenths)n _ 1, combine them to create a geometric sequence, an, and solve for th

weeeeeb [17]

The original functions are: f(n) = 500 and g(n) = [9/10]^(n-1)

A geometric sequence combining them is: An = f(n)*g(n) = 500*[9/10]^(n-1):

Some terms are:
A1= 500
A2 = 500*[9/10]
A3 = 500*[9/10]^2
A4 = 500*[9/10]^3
....
A11 = 500*[9/10]^10 ≈ 174.339

Answer: the third option, An = 500[9/10]^(n-1); A11 = 174.339
