Answer:

7 hours 30min

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

Given data

We are told that Erica can paint 1 room in 5hours

Her work rate is 1/5 room per hour

And also with the assistance of her friend they can paint 1 room in 3 hours

Hence their combined work rate is 1/3 room per hour

Step two

The combined work expression is

1/A+1/B=1/T

Where A=Erica's work rate

B=Rachael's work rate

T=combined work

1/5+1/B=1/3

1/B=1/3-1/5

1/B=5-3/15

1/B=2/15

B=15/2

B=7.5 hours

It will take Rachel 7 hours 30min to paint the room

1. A pair of supplementary angles: ∠IJH and ∠HJG, ∠IJH and ∠HJG

2. A pair of complementary angles: ∠JGK and ∠KGC, ∠FGE and ∠EGD

3. A pair of vertical angles: ∠AKB and ∠KJG , ∠IJH and ∠KJG

Solution:

<em>Two angles are said to be supplementary when they add up to 180°.</em>

We know that,

Sum of the adjacent angles in a straight line = 180°

∠IJK + ∠KJG = 180°

Therefore ∠IJK and ∠KJG are supplementary angles.

∠IJH + ∠HJG = 180°

Therefore ∠IJH and ∠HJG are supplementary angles.

<em>Two angles are said to be complementary when they add up to 90°.</em>

Given ∠CGD = 90°, ∠CGJ = 90°

∠JGK + ∠KGC = ∠CGJ

∠JGK + ∠KGC = 90°

Therefore ∠JGK and ∠KGC are complementary angles.

∠FGE + ∠EGD = 90°

Therefore ∠FGE and ∠EGD are complementary angles.

<em>If two lines are intersecting, then the angles opposite to vertical point are vertical angles and they are equal.</em>

∠AKB = ∠KJG (vertically opposite)

∠IJH = ∠KJG (vertically opposite)

Write an equation for the nth term of the geometric sequence 3584, 896, 224... Find the sixth term of this sequence
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

r = \frac{a_n}{a_{n-1}} = \frac{896}{3584} =  \frac{1}{4}

Using the geometric series formula for the <em>n</em>th term:

S_n = a \cdot \frac{1-r^n}{1-r} => S_{6} = 3584 \cdot \frac{1 - (\frac{1}{4})^{6} }{1 - \frac{1}{4} }  = 4777\frac{1}{2}
