Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let a₁ , a₂ , a₃ , a₄ ,... .be a given sequence.
The common ratio of this sequence is the following:
a₂/a₁ = a₃/a₂ = a₄/a₃ = r
Example: 5, 25, 125, 625, ...The common ration is:
25/5 = 125/25 = 625/125 = 5. So r=5 is the common ratio
Answer:
280 cubic inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Cubic inches of foam required = volume of the box - volume of the basketball
The box has a shape of a cube, so that;
volume of the box = 
where l is the length of the sides of the box.
volume of the box = 
= 729 cubic inches
volume of the box = 729 cubic inches
The basketball has the shape of a sphere, so that;
volume of the basketball =


=
x 3.14 x 
= 448.693
volume of the basketball = 448.693 cubic inches
Thus,
cubic inches of foam required = 729 - 448.693
= 280.307
The cubic inches of foam to be used is 280 cubic inches.
