Answer:

S20 ≈ 4.942

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of a geometric series is expressed as Sn = a(1-rⁿ)/1-r if r<1

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms

Given the geometric series

1 + 0.8 + 0.8^2 +0.8^3 + ... + 0.8^{19}

Given a = 1,

r = 0.8/1 = 0.8²/0.8 = 0.8

n = 20 (The total number of terms in the series is 20)

Substituting this values in the formula above.

S20 = 1(1-0.8^20)/1-0.8

S20 = 1-0.01153/0.2

S20 = 0.9885/0.2

S20 ≈ 4.942

The area of a circle is 16π cm2. What is the circle's circumference?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

C = 8 pi cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is given by

A = pi r^2

16 pi = pi r^2

Divide each side by pi

16 = r^2

Taking the square root

4 = r

The circumference is

C = 2 * pi *r

C = 2* pi *(4)

C = 8 pi cm
