Answer:
29th term = 76.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Total terms = 55
aₙ = a + (n - 1) d
5th term = a₅ = 14
a + (5 - 1)*d = 14
a + 4d = 14 --------------------(I)
last term = a₅₅ = 144
a + (55 - 1)d = 144
a + 54d = 144----------------(II)
Multiply equation (II) by (-1)
(I) a + 4d = 14
(II)*(-1) <u>-a - 54d = -144</u> {Now add and thus a will be eliminated}
-50d = -130
d = -130/-50
d = 2.6
Plug in d = 2.6 in equation (I)
a + 4* 2.6 = 14
a + 10.4 = 14
a = 14 - 10.4
a = 3.6
29th term = a₂₉ = 3.6 + (29 - 1)* 2.6
= 3.6 + 28* 2.6
= 3.6 + 72.8
a₂₉ = 76.4

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Geometric Mean Theorem - Altitude Rule</u>
The <u>altitude</u> drawn from the vertex of the right angle perpendicular to the hypotenuse separates the <u>hypotenuse</u> into <u>two segments</u>. The ratio of one segment to the altitude is equal to the ratio of the altitude to the other segment:

From inspection of the given diagram:
- altitude = FD = 9
- segment 1 = CD = 5
- segment 2 = DE =


Substitute the found value of x into the expression for DE:
