Answer:

First term a = 3

Sum of first 20 term = 440

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

8th term of AP = 17

12th term of AP = 25

Find:

First term a

Sum of first 20 term

Computation:

8th term of AP = 17

a + 7d = 17 ....... EQ1

12th term of AP = 25

a + 11d = 25 ...... EQ2

From EQ1 and EQ2

4d = 8

d = 2

a + 7d = 17

a + 7(2) = 17

First term a = 3

Sum of first 20 term

Sn = [n/2][2a + (n-1)d]

S20 = [20/2][(2)(3) + (20-1)2]

S20 = [10][(6) + 38]

S20 = [10][44]

S20 = 440

Sum of first 20 term = 440

Which of the following could be the lengths of the sides of a 30°-60°-90° triangle?
Inga [223]
According to Pythagoras theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

similarly ,

3^2+ 4^2= 5^2

9+16=25
25=25

LHS=RHS
so angle of triangle is 30 , 60 and 90

A rectangle table is two times as long as it is wide. If the area is 50ft^2. Find the length and width of the table.
marta [7]

Answer:

W = 5 ft; L = 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by representing the length and width:

W = W

L = 2W

Area of rectangle = L * W = 2W * W = 50 ft^2.  Then 2W^2 = 50 ft^2.

Solving for the width W results in W^2 = 25 ft, or W = 5 ft.

The length, L, is therefore L = 2W = 10 ft.

Check:  Does L * W = 50 ft^2?  Does (5 ft)(10 ft) = 50 ft^2?  YES
