Answer:

The correct option is B) £2621440.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Contestants are asked a number of questions; they get £5 if they only answer one question correctly, £10 if they answer two questions correctly, £20 if they answer three questions correctly and so on.

This form a G.P

5, 10, 20, 40.....

The nth term of a GP series is a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}

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

Here the first term is 5 and we need to find the value of 20th term.

The common ratio is: \frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{10}{5}=2

Substitute the respective values in the above formula.

a_n=5\cdot 2^{20-1}

a_n=5\cdot 2^{19}

a_n=5\cdot 524288

a_n=2621440

Hence, the correct option is B) £2621440.

6. This solid is a composite of a cube and square pyramid. The base of the solid is the base of the cube. Find the surface area
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

960 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 surfaces forming the solid.

5 of them are congruent squares and 4 of them are congruent triangles.

area of square = (side)^2

area of triangle = (base)(height)/2

total surface area = 5 * area of square + 4 * area of triangle

A = 5 * (12 ft)^2 + 4 * (12 ft * 10 ft)/2

A = 5 * 144 ft^2 + 4 * 60 ft^2

A = 720 ft^2 + 240 ft^2

A = 960 ft^2

Ashley has 20 pieces of candy in a bag: 2 mint sticks, 4 jelly treats, and 14 fruit tart chews. If she eats one piece every 8 mi
AleksAgata [21]
The probability that her first treat is jelly is 4/20. Since she eats the candy and does not replace it, the probability the second treat is jelly would be 3/19 (1 less jelly and 1 less total candies). You would then multiply (4/20) by (3/19). That is your answer.

PLZ HELP ASAP CIRCLES PART 2
Sveta_85 [38]
For this case we have the following angle:
 theta = (9/5) pi
 Having the conversion we have:
 theta = ((9/5) pi) * (180 / pi)
 Rewriting we have:
 theta = (9/5) * (180)
 theta = (9/5) * (180)
 theta = 324 degrees
 Answer:
 
The angle is equivalent to:
 
theta = 324 degrees
