s again. If the ball continues to rebound and fall in this manner, find the total distance the ball has travelled after it hits the ground the 5th time. This may be answered in decimal form. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

The total distance the ball has travelled after it hits the ground the 5th time is of 48.53m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence:

In a geometric sequence, the quotient of consecutive terms is the same. The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

a_n = a_1q^{n-1}

In which a_1 is the first term and q is the common ratio.

A super-bouncy-ball is thrown 25m into the air. The ball falls, rebounds to 70% of the height of the previous bounce and falls again.

This means that:

q = 0.7, a_1 = 25*0.7 = 17.5

Then

a_n = a_1q^{n-1}

a_n = 17.5(0.7)^{n-1}

First 5 terms:

a_1 = 17.5

a_2 = 17.5(0.7)^{2-1} = 12.25

a_3 = 17.5(0.7)^{3-1} = 8.58

a_4 = 17.5(0.7)^{4-1} = 6

a_5 = 17.5(0.7)^{5-1} = 4.2

Find the total distance the ball has travelled after it hits the ground the 5th time.

T = 17.5 + 12.25 + 8.58 + 6 + 4.2 = 48.53

The total distance the ball has travelled after it hits the ground the 5th time is of 48.53m.

In figure find the area of the red part.​
larisa [96]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A rectangle 4 x 8 , a semicircle

Diagonal intersecting semicircle  

To Find :Area of red part

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Angle AC make AB   α = ∠BAC

tan α = BC/AB = 4/8 = 1/2

=> α = 26.565°

∠ECA = ∠BAC = α

EC = EF = 4

=> ∠CEF = 180° - 2α

∠AED = 45°  as   AE is  diagonal of Square of side  4

=> ∠AEF  + 180° - 2α + 45° = 180°

=>  ∠AEF =  2α - 45°  = 8.13°

in Left side area  between square  and circle is split in 2 Equal parts

(1/2) area - area AFG = area of Red part

in Left side area  between square  and circle  = 4² - (1/4)π4²

= 3.4336 sq unit

half  =  1.7168 sq unit  

Now find area AFG = area ΔAEF - sector EGF

area ΔAEF  

AE = 4√2  , EF = 4    angle = 8.13°

area ΔAEF   = (1/2) 4√2 * 4 sin 8.13° = 1.6 sq unit

area  sector EGF  = (8.13/360)π4² = 1.135  sq unit

area AFG  = 1.6 - 1.135  = 0.465 sq unit

Area of Red part = 1.7168 - 0.465 sq unit

= 1.2518 sq unit

= 1.252  sq unit

= 1.25 sq unit.

Hope this helps!!

Find the area of the shape
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

A=42.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First you split this shape into a square and a triangle.

The area of the square is 5✖️5=25.

Then, there is a triangle left.

We do not know about the hypotenuse, but the sides are 5 and 7.

5✖️7=35/2<-- because it is a triangle. =17.5

You add both areas, and you get the total of 42.5.

Hope this helps!

Hi I’ll appreciate it if you help me!
dexar [7]
The answer would be 30in.
Reasoning: if the two figures are proportional, you would set it up in a proportion. It would be 36/x=12/10. Then cross multiply, so it would be 12x and 36(10). Afterwords you’ll have 12x=360, then divide both sides by 12 and you’ll end up with 30.
