Answer:

311.36

Step-by-step explanation:

For  a geometric series sum of first n terms is a(1-r^n)/(1-r)

if r is less than 1.

where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

____________________________\

given

a = 108

r = \frac{2}{3}.

n = 8

thus , sum of n term is

a(1-r^n)/(1-r)\\=>108(1-(2/3)^8)/(1-2/3)\\=> 108 (1 - 256/6561)/1/3\\=> 108(6561-256)/ 6561/1/3\\=> 108(6305)/2187\\=>311.36

Thus sum of first 8 terms is 311.36

What is the measure of the third angle?
SCORPION-xisa [38]
The total amount of degrees in a triangle is 180. All three angles should add up to 180˚

We know that 40+60 = 100

The next step is to do 180-100 to get the other angle.
180-100 = 80

So the measure of the third angle is 80˚

Hope this helps!

(Also if you want to do this in one equation, you would do 40+60+x = 180
40+60+x = 180
100+x = 180 (combine like terms)
x = 80 (Subtract 100 from both sides)

Anettt [7]
This problem can be readily solved if we are familiar with the point-slope form of straight lines:
y-y0=m(x-x0) ...................................(1)
where 
m=slope of line
(x0,y0) is a point through which the line passes.

We know that the line passes through A(3,-6), B(1,2)

All options have a slope of -4, so that should not be a problem.  In fact, if we check the slope=(yb-ya)/(xb-xa), we do find that the slope m=-4.

So we can check which line passes through which point:

a. y+6=-4(x-3)
Rearrange to the form of equation (1) above,
y-(-6)=-4(x-3)  means that line passes through A(3,-6) => ok

b. y-1=-4(x-2) means line passes through (2,1), which is neither A nor B
   ****** this equation is not the line passing through A & B *****

c. y=-4x+6  subtract 2 from both sides (to make the y-coordinate 2)
   y-2 = -4x+4, rearrange
   y-2 = -4(x-1)  
   which means that it passes through B(1,2), so ok

d. y-2=-4(x-1)
   this is the same as the previous equation, so it passes through B(1,2), 
   this equation is ok.

Answer: the equation y-1=-4(x-2) does NOT pass through both A and B.
