The number of terms, 'n' is 8
<h3 /><h3>How to determine the number of terms</h3>
Let's determine the common ratio;
common ratio, r = 3/1 = 3
The formula for sum of geometric series with 'r' greater than 1 is given as; Sn = a( r^n - 1) / (r - 1)
n is unknown
Sn = 3280
Substitute the value
3280 = 1 ( 3^n - 1) / 3- 1
3280 = 3^n -1 /2
Cross multiply
3280 × 2 = 3^n - 1
6560 + 1 = 3^n
6561 = 3^n
This could be represented as;
3^8 = 3^n
like coefficient cancels out
n = 8
Thus, the number of terms, 'n' is 8

I believe it is A because line segment AC is equal to line segment BD, and AE and BF are also the same
Answer: The answer is 314.28 cm² (approx.).
Step-by-step explanation: Given that an engineer is going to install a new water pipe. The diameter of this circular pipe is, d = 20 cm.
We need to find the area 'A' of the circular cross-section of the pipe.
Given, diameter of the circular section is

So, the radius of the circular cross-section will be

Therefore, cross-sectional area of the pipe is

Thus, the answer is 314.28 cm² (approx.).
