Answer:

x=16 y=38

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=54.......equation 1

x=y-22........ equation 2

substitute

y-22+y=54

2y-22=54

2y=54+22

2y=76

y=76/2

y=38''

x=y-22

x=38-22

x=16''

What is the common ratio for the geometric sequence? 18,12,8,163,… Enter your answer in the box.
uysha [10]

Answer:

\frac{2}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:  

We have been given a geometric sequence 18,12,8,16/3,.. We are asked to find the common ratio of given geometric sequence.

We can find common ratio of geometric sequence by dividing any number by its previous number in the sequence.

\text{Common ratio of geometric sequence}=\frac{a_2}{a_1}

Let us use two consecutive numbers of our sequence in above formula.

a_2 will be 12 and a_1 will be 18 for our given sequence.

\text{Common ratio of geometric sequence}=\frac{12}{18}

Dividing our numerator and denominator by 6 we will get,

\text{Common ratio of geometric sequence}=\frac{2}{3}

Let us use numbers 8 and 16/3 in above formula.

\text{Common ratio of geometric sequence}=\frac{\frac{16}{3}}{8}

\text{Common ratio of geometric sequence}=\frac{16}{3*8}

\text{Common ratio of geometric sequence}=\frac{2}{3}

Therefore, we get \frac{2}{3} as common ratio of our given geometric sequence.

Answer:

  10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the area of a trapezoid. Fill in the given information and solve for the unknown.

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

  50 in² = (1/2)(3 in +7 in)h

  50 in²/(5 in) = h . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of h

  10 in = h

The height of the trapezoid is 10 inches.
