Answer:

The first term of the series is 125.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the first four terms of a geometric series can be described by the following equation:

S=x_{1} +x_{1}r+x_{1}r^{2} +x_{1}r^{3}

Where x1 is the first term and r is the common ratio. Replacing the given values into the equation to solve for x1 yields:

203=x_{1} +x_{1}*0.4+x_{1}*(0.4)^{2} +x_{1}*(0.4)^{3}\\203 = (1+0.4+0.16+0.064)*x_{1}\\x_{1} = \frac{203}{1.624} \\x_{1} = 125

The first term of the series is 125.

Hello ^w^

I believe the answer you are looking for is A

I found this answer by adding up the lengths of all the sides.

S -> T = 8

S -> R = 7

Q -> R = 6

P -> Q = 6

P -> T = 10

10 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 8 ->  37

A -> 37

If I am incorrect, please inform me.

Have a good day!

1 inch = 2.54cm 1 mile = 1.6km a map has a scale of 1 inch represents 1 mile use the given conversions to show that 1cm on the m
lara31 [8.8K]
Note: 1 inch = 2.54 cm is an exact converion, while 1 mile=1.6km is only approximate.

Using conversion
1 inch=2.54 cm
1 mile = 1760*3*12 = 63360 in = 160934.4 cm 
If 1 inch = 1 mile, then 
2.54 cm : 1 mile = 1.609344 km
1 cm : 0.6336 km   (exactly), or
1 cm : 0.6 km (approximately)

Using both conversions:
1 inch = 2.54 cm : 1 mile = 1.6 km
=>
2.54 cm : 1.6 km
1 cm : 1.6/2.54=0.6299 km (approximately), or
1 cm : 0.6 km (approximately)
