Answer:

  • 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>This is going to be an arithmetic progression:</u>

  • 48500, 48500 + 1200, 48500 + 1200*2, ...

<u>So the first term is </u>

  • a₁ = 48500

<u>and the common difference is </u>

  • d = 1200

<u>Sum of AP is:</u>

  • S = (a₁ + aₙ)*n/2 = (2a₁ + (n - 1)d)*n/2

<u>Substitute and solve for n:</u>

  • (2*48500 + (n - 1)*1200)*n/2 = 321000
  • (97000 + 1200n - 1200)n = 642000
  • 1200n² + 95800n - 642000 = 0
  • 6n² + 479n - 3210 = 0

<u>Solving we get a positive root of:</u>

  • n ≈ 6.21 and it rounds up to 7 years

1. a= 60 (vertically opposite angles)

b= 360-(60+60)=240/2= 120 (angles at a point)

c= 120 (vertically opposite angles with b)

2. c= 90-40= 50 (vertically opposite angles)

b=a=360-90-90=180/2=90 (angles at a point)

3. a= 180-52-51= 77 (angles on a straight line)

b=52 (angles at a point)

d=51 (angles at a point)

c=77 (angles at a point)

4. a= 60 (vertically opposite angles)

b= 360-(60+60)=240/2= 120 (angles at a point)

c= 120 (vertically opposite angles with b)

e=65

d=f= 360-65-65=230/2=115

h=55

i=g=360-55-55=250/2=125

5. b=163

a=90

e=70

d=360-70-70=220/2=110

c=360-163-163=34/2=17

Hope this helps!
