ctly one half the distance of the prior step. So my next step would be 2 feet, then 1 foot etc. How many steps will it take me to reach the wall?

Answer:

Never!

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each succeeding step is exactly 1/2 of the prior step, you have created an infinite geometric series that goes like 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4... The formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series is a/(1-r), where a is the first term and r is the common ratio. Plugging this in, a/(1-r) = 4(1-1/2) = 4/(1/2) = 8. Therefore, you can only travel 8 feet in total and will never! reach the wall.

Answer:

<h3>m∠1 = 41°</h3><h3>m∠2 = 41°</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>m∠1 = m∠2</h3>

{(6x + 11)}^{o}   =  {(10x - 9)}^{o}  \\ 11 + 9 = 10x - 6x \\ 20 = 4x \\  \frac{20}{4}  =  \frac{4x}{4}  \\ 5 = x \\

x = 5°,

m∠1 = (6x + 11)°

{(6x  + 11)}^{o}  \\ 6(5) + 11 \\ 30 + 11 \\  {41}^{o}  \\

What does x and y =??????
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

x=30. y=60

Step-by-step explanation:

DG is a straight segment so it sums to 180 degrees. ECG is a right angle so 90 degrees. The rest is described as 2x and x. So 3x=90 degrees. x=30. Eh is also a straight segment. since we know x, we know that ECD is 60 degrees. So y+y=120 degrees. 2y=120. y=60.

What is the distance between (-6,2) and (8,10) on a coordinate grid
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: 14 right and 8 up, or (14, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, you can subtract or add numbers.

So from (-6, 2) to 0, I have to move right 6 spaces to get (0, 2).

Then, I must move 8 to the right to get (8, 2).

From here, I continue to move up 8 since we want to get to (8,10). So in all, you should move 14 spaces to the right and 8 up (14, 8).
