jek_recluse [69]3 years ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

this sequence is geometric not arithmetic

HOw we know that ??

when we get a common difference  that must Be equal  

d=6-2=4  not equal to  d=18-6=12

So it is not arithmetic

but when we get the common ratio that also must be equal

r=6/2=18/6=54/18=3    equal

So it is geometric

By using this equation:

a(n)=a(1)*r^(n-1)

and we have a(1)=2 , r=3    

<u>Explicit rule:</u> a(n)=2*(3)^(n-1)

<u>Recursive rule:</u>  a(n)= r * a(n-1)

a(n-1) ⇒ priviuse term

SO:  a(n)= 3 * a(n-1)

For example:

a(3)= 3 * 6 =18

<em>I really hope this helps <3</em>

The perimeter of a rectangular piece of plastic is 30 millimeters. The area is 54 square millimeters. What are the dimensions of
Delvig [45]

Answer:

6 mm and 9 mm are the dimensions of the piece of plastic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind the formulas for the area and perimeter of a rectangle:

A = lw

P = 2 (l + w)

List the factors of 54:

1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54

POSSIBLE DIMENSIONS of the piece of plastic:

1 mm and 54 mm:

Area - 54 mm^2

Perimeter - 110 mm

2 mm and 27 mm

Area - 54 mm^2

Perimeter - 58 mm

3 mm and 18 mm

Area - 54 mm^2

Perimeter - 42 mm

6 mm and 9 mm

Area - 54 mm^2

Perimeter - 30 mm

The rectangular piece of plastic with the dimensions 6mm and 9 mm corresponds with the area and perimeter of the piece of plastic mentioned. So these are the correct dimensions.

Hope this helps!

3 An open cone has a vertical angle measuring 40°
belka [17]

Answer:

13.41 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius, height, and HALF of vertical angle makes a triangle.

Where

Radius will be the base of the triangle

Height will be the "height" of the triangle

Top angle will be HALF of vertical angle (40/2 = 20)

From the 20 degree angle, the side "opposite" would be the radius, which is 30. The side "adjacent" would be the height, let it be h.

<em>Which trig ratio relates opposite and adjacent? Yes, that is TAN. Thus we can write:</em>

Tan(20) = opposite/adjacent

Tan(20) = 30/h

h = 30/Tan(20)

h = 13.41

So

The height of the cone would be around 13.41 cm
