width = x

length = 3 + x

perimeter = x + x + ( 3 + x ) + (3+x)

18 = x + x + ( 3 + x ) + (3+x)

x + x + ( 3 + x ) + (3+x) = 18

6 + 4x = 18

4x = 12

x = 3

Evaluate S5 for 300 + 150 + 75 + … and select the correct answer below. 18.75 93.75 581.25 145.3125

Savatey [412]

we have that

$300 + 150 + 75 +...$

Let

$a1=300\\ a2=150\\ a3=75$

we know that

$\frac{a2}{a1} =\frac{150}{300} \\\\ \frac{a2}{a1}=0.5 \\ \\ a2=a1*0.50$

$\frac{a3}{a2} =\frac{75}{150} \\\\ \frac{a3}{a2}=0.5 \\ \\ a3=a2*0.50$

$a(n+1)=an*0.50$

Is a geometric sequence

Find the value of $a4$

$a(4)=a3*0.50$

$a(4)=75*0.50$

$a(4)=37.5$

Find the value of $a5$

$a(5)=a4*0.50$

$a(5)=37.5*0.50$

$a(5)=18.75$

Find $S5$

$S5=a1+a2+a3+a4+a5\\ S5=300+150+75+37.5+18.75\\ S5=581.25$

therefore

the answer is

$581.25$

Alternative Method

Applying the formula

$S_n=\frac{a_1 (1-r^n)}{1-r} \\\\a_1=300 \\ r=\frac{1}{2}\\\\ S_5=\frac{300(1-(\frac{1}{2})^5)}{1-\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{300(1-\frac{1}{32})}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{300 \times \frac{31}{32}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{75 \times \frac{31}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{2325}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{2325}{8} \times 2\\\\=\frac{2325}{4}\\\\=581 \frac{1}{4}\\\\=581.25$

therefore

the answer is

$581.25$

11th grade geometry:

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The perimeter is 72 units and the area is 149 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle SBA$ has coordinates $S(15,-8),B(-2,21)$ and $A(0,0)$

Using the distance formula.........

Length of side $SB = \sqrt{(15+2)^2+(-8-21)^2}= \sqrt{17^2+(-29)^2}= \sqrt{1130}$

Length of side $BA= \sqrt{(-2)^2+(21)^2}= \sqrt{445}$

Length of side $AS =\sqrt{(15)^2+(-8)^2}=\sqrt{289}=17$

So, the perimeter of the triangle will be: $(SB+BA+AS)= \sqrt{1130}+ \sqrt{445}+17 =71.71... \approx 72$ units. (Rounded to the nearest unit)

The height of the triangle for the corresponding base $SB$ is 8.89 units.

Formula for the Area of triangle, $A= \frac{1}{2}(base\times height)$

So, the area of the $\triangle SBA$ will be: $\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{1130}\times 8.89)= 149.42... \approx 149$ square units. (Rounded to the nearest unit)
