Answer:

± 60

Step-by-step explanation:

aₙ = a₁ * rⁿ⁻¹

a₇ = 30 = a₁ * r⁷⁻¹ = a₁ * r⁶     (1)

a₅ = 120 = a₁ * r⁵⁻¹ = a₁ * r⁴     (2)

(1)/(2): 30/120 = 1/4 = r²

r = ± 1/2   or ± 0.5

a₁ = a₇/r⁶ = 30/0.5⁶ = 1920

a₆ = 1920 * (± 1/2)⁶⁻¹ = 1920 * ± 1/32 = ± 60

Find the area of the following shape. You must show all work to receive credit.
Artist 52 [7]

By comparing the given shape with easier ones like triangles and rectangles we will see that the area of the shape is 8 square units.

<h3>How to simplify the shape.</h3>

So the given shape is a little bit complex, but you can actually see that it is a triangle with a base of 8 units with a height of 4 units, where a rectangle of 2 in by 3 in was removed, and also removed a triangle of height of 2 inches and base of 2 inches.

Remember that:

  • A triangle of height H and base B has an area = B*H/2
  • A rectangle of length L and width W has an area = L*W.

Then the area of the given shape is:

A = 8*4/2 - 3*2 - 2*2/2

A =  16 - 6 - 2

A = 8

So the given shape has an area of 8 square units.
