Answer:

a1 = 0.5; common ratio = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common ratio = r

a2 = 2.5

a3 = 2.5r

a4 = 2.5r * r = 2.5r^2

We are told a4 = 62.5, so

2.5r^2 = 62.5

Divide both sides by 2.5

r^2 = 25

r = 5

a2 = a1 * r

a1 = a2/r = 2.5/5 = 0.5

Answer: a1 = 0.5; common ratio = 5

devlian [24]

Answer:

B. 3 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for surface area is:

2lw+2lh+2wh

Box F's surface area is just plugging in those variables

2(3)(3)+2(3)(3)+2(3)(3)=54

Box J's surface area is the same way

2(2)(4.5)+2(2)(3)+2(4.5)(3)=57

The difference is 57-54=3

The answer is B. 3 square ft
