Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

r is the common ratio.

Third term minus first term is 48.

a₃ - a₁ = 48

a₃ = a₁r²

a₁r² - a₁ = 48

a₁(r²-1) = 48

r²-1 = 48/a₁

Fourth term minus second term is 144.

a₄ - a₂ = 144

a₂ = a₁r

a₄ = a₁r³

a₁r³ - a₁r = 144

a₁r(r²-1) = 144

r²-1 = 144/(a₁r)

48/a₁ = 144/(a₁r)

r = 3

:::::

r²-1 = 48/a₁

a₁ = 6

:::::

a₆ = a₁r⁵ = 1458

2. Two angle measures are in the ratio 5:9. Write
iris [78.8K]

The two angles are x and 9x/5

<h3 /><h3 />

Let the two angles we require be x and y.

<h3 /><h3>Ratio of both angles</h3>

We have that the ratio of both angles are x:y

Since both angles are in the ratio 5:9, we have that,

x:y = 5:9

⇒ x/y = 5/9

<h3 /><h3>Value of the other angle</h3>

So, we Make y subject of the formula

Multiplying both sides by y, we have

y × x/y = 5/9 × y

x = 5y/9

Multiplying both sides by 9, we have

9 × x = 5y/9 × 9

9x = 5y

Dividing both sides by 5, we have

9x/5 = 5y/5

y = 9x/5

So, the two angles are x and 9x/5
