Answer:

a3=15 , n=3

a8=0, n=8

a5 = ?

an = a1+ (n-1)d

a3 = a1 + (3-1) d

a3=a1+2d

and a8 = a1 + (8-1 )d

a8= a1+ 7d

15 = a1 + 2 d-------1

0= a1 +7 d----------2

substacting eq 2 from eq 1

15= - 5d

- 5d = 15

divide by - 5

d = -3

putting the value of d in eq 1

15 = a1 + 7 (-3)

15 = a1 -21

adding 21 on both sides

a1-21+21= 15+21

a1 = 36

a5 = ?, n=5, d= -3, a1=36

a5 = 36 + (5-1) (-3)

= 36+(4)(-3)

= 36-12

= 24

An rectangular water tank has a base area of 56 sq. ft. and a height of 4 ft. Find its volume in cubic feet.
ira [324]

Answer: 224 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation: If the base of the tank is 56 sq feet in<u> area </u> then the dimensions could be, (2,28) (4,14) (7,8) for example. However, it doesn't really matter. It's only important that the information we know is that it is area and there are two dimensions. Since volume is determined by base x width x height, we do 56 x 4. Or using one of the factored pairs that works, for example, 8 x 7 x 4 = 224.
