Answer:

  5

Step-by-step explanation:

The general term of an arithmetic progression is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference.

Here we are given that ...

  a5 = 3×a2

  a5 +a6 +a7 +a8 = 240

__

In terms of a1 and d, these tell us ...

  a1 +d(5 -1) = 3(a1 +d(2 -1))

  a1 +4d = 3a1 +3d . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  d = 2a1 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract a1+3d

and ...

  (a1 +4d) +(a1 +5d) +(a1 +6d) +(a1 +7d) = 240

  4a1 +22d = 240

Substituting for d, we have ...

  4a1 +22(2a1) = 240

  48a1 = 240

  a1 = 240/48 = 5

The first term is 5.

CaHeK987 [17]
Area of the Base = 6 * side^2 / 4 * tan (180/6)
Area of the Base = 6 * 16 / 4 * 0.57735
Area of the Base = 96 / <span> <span> <span> 2.3094 </span> </span> </span>

What’s the circumference, to this problem ?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The formula to get the circumference of a circle is C=2*\pi * r but in this case we see that a diameter is being used therefore we can get rid of the 2 and the r because that is what the diameter and just replace d into there like this C=d*\pi.

We can then input the value and we get that C=1*\pi which then just narrows down to C=3.142.

gpm = 29.7 \times  {d}^{2}  \times  \sqrt{np}
this formula is used to determine gpm (gallons per minute) of flow with a known hose diameter (d) and nozzle pressure (np). The constant (29.7) is consistent when figuring flow with in gallons with a know pressure expressed in psi (pounds per square inch).

Scenario example: a firefighter is using a handline to fight fire with an 1 3/4 inch line with a nozzle pressure of 100 psi. How much water is the firefighter flowing when fighting fire?

gpm = 29.7 \times  {1.75}^{2}  \times  \sqrt{100}
