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.

1.Use Euler’s Formula to find the missing number. Edges: 40
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Euler's Formula states that:

V -E +F = 2   meaning that the vertices minus the edges plus the faces of a convex polyhedron will always equal two.

So, for the initial question, we have 40 edges and 24 faces.

So, vertices = 2 + Edges -Faces

Vertices = 2 + 40 - 24

Vertices = 18

Find the surface area of the figure shown,<br> correct to 2 decimal places.
agasfer [191]

Answer:

230.73m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A=2a^2+4ah=2*4^2+4*4*4=96m^2 (square prism)

A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2=2*\pi *4*9+2*\pi *4^2 = 326.73m^(cylinder)

326.73-96=230.73m^2 (\frac{3}{4} cylinder)
