Answer:  First three terms are 1/25, 1/5, and 1 in that order.

===========================================================

Explanation:

The fifth term is 25, which makes the fourth term to be 25*(1/5) = 5. We multiply any term by the reciprocal of the common ratio to move back to the previous term.

The third term is 5*(1/5) = 1. The second term is 1*(1/5) = 1/5. The first term is (1/5)*(1/5) = 1/25

Therefore, the first five terms are:

1/25, 1/5, 1, 5, 25

As we move from left to right, we multiply each term by 5. Going in reverse, we multiply by 1/5.

Answer:

g = 6 / 3 x 2

Step-by-step explanation:

g = 6 / 3 x 2 because 92 / 2 = 46. 46 x 3 = 138. so / 3 = 46 x 2 = 92

18. The perimeter is simply √3 + √3 + √3 + √3 or 4√3cm, since the perimeter is just all sides added together. You could add the decimal numbers together using a calculator, which I'm not sure if you're supposed to do in your class.

The area is just width times length, so √3 • √3 = 3cm².

19. The perimeter is 2√5 + 2(9 - √5).

This can also be written as 2√5 + 18 - 2√5, which leaves you with a perimeter of 18ft.

The area would be √5 • (9 - √5), which leaves you with (9√5 - 5)ft².

20. The formula for the perimeter (or circumference) of a circle is π times the diameter of the circle. Using the radius of the circle, 1/π, the diameter is 2/π, so

π • 2/π = 2. The circumference of the circle is 2 inches.

The area of the circle is calculated with the equation πr², so

π(1/π)² = π • 1/(π²) = π/(π²) = π. The area is simply π in².
