Answer: first term = 6

Common difference = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Eight term =a +(n-1)d = a +(8-1)d = a + 7d

Third term = a+(n-1)d = a + (3-1)d =a + 2d

a + 7d = 2(a + 2d)

a + 7d = 2a + 4d

7d - 4d = 2a - a

a = 3d

The fifth term is equal to 14. This is:

a + 4d = 14

Put the value of a into the equation here

3d + 4d = 14

7d = 14

d = 14/7

d = 2

Recall that a + 4d = 14

a + 4(2) = 14

a + 8 = 14

a = 14 - 8

a = 6

never [62]

The measure of the angle between the hypotenuse and the <em>short</em> leg is 60° and we can conclude that the side with length 10 is not the <em>long</em> leg of the 30 - 60 - 90 <em>right</em> triangle. (Right choice: False)

<h3>Is the length of a known arm in a 30 - 60 - 90 right triangle the long arm?</h3>

In accordance with geometry, the length of the <em>long</em> arm of a 30 - 60 - 90 <em>right</em> triangle is √3 / 2 times the length of the hypotenuse, the length of the <em>short</em> arm is 1 / 2 times the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the <em>long</em> arm is √3 times the length of the arm.

Thus, the measure of the angle between the hypotenuse and the <em>short</em> leg is 60° and we can conclude that the side with length 10 is not the <em>long</em> leg of the 30 - 60 - 90 <em>right</em> triangle. (Right choice: False)

gladu [14]

Answer:

There are 30 ounce of green paint 18 ounces blue paint was needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

In order to make green paint a 2:3 ratio of blue paint and yellow paint is used.

Assume 2x blue paint and 3x yellow paint required to make 30 ounce of green paint.

According to the problem,

2x+3x=30

⇒5x=30

\Rightarrow x=\frac {30}{5}

⇒ x=6

The amount of blue paint is = 2×6

                                              =12 ounces

The amount yellow paint is = (3×6)

                                            = 18 ounces

There are 30 ounce of green paint 18 ounces blue paint was needed.
