Answer: 14.2638366937

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which each term is multiplied by a number, called the common ratio, to get the next term.

So, if the first term of the geometric sequence is 10 and the common ratio is 0.3, the sequence would be 10, 0.3(10), 0.3 x 0.3 x 10... and so forth. This becomes:

10, 3, 0.9, 0.27, 0.081, 0.00243, 0.00729, 0.002187, 0.0006561, 0.00019683, 0.000059049, 0.0000177147...

You add these first 12 terms to get 14.2638366937.

Find the area. 5cm 3cm 4 cm

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

6 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3 side lengths are given, I assume that this figure is a triangle. The area of a triangle can be determined by using hero's formula.

$\text{Area of triangle} = \sqrt{\text{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$

⇒ s = Perimeter/2

⇒ a, b, and c = side lenths of triangle

Replacing a, b, and c as the given side lengths:

$\implies \text{Area of triangle} = \sqrt{\text{s(s - 5)(s - 3)(s - 4)}$

Determining the perimeter of the triangle:

$\text{Perimeter of triangle = Sum of it's side lengths}$

$\implies \text{Perimeter of triangle =}\ 5 + 4 + 3$

$\implies \text{Perimeter of triangle =}\ 12 \ \text{cm}$

Determining the half of perimeter:

$\text{Half of perimeter} = s = \dfrac{\text{Perimeter}}{2}$

$\implies s = \dfrac{12}{2}$

$\implies s = 6$

Replacing the value of "s" in the formula:

$\implies \text{Area of triangle} = \sqrt{\text{6(6 - 5)(6 - 3)(6 - 4)}$

Evaluating the area:

$\implies \text{Area of triangle} = \sqrt{\text{6(6 - 5)(6 - 3)(6 - 4)}$

$\implies \text{Area of triangle} = \sqrt{\text{6(1)(3)(2)}$

$\implies \text{Area of triangle} = \sqrt{\text{6(6)}$

$\implies \text{Area of triangle} = 6 \ \text{cm}^{2}$
