8 0

Answer:

this is a pythagorean theorem problem. 24 is the whole ladder, and if you draw it out, is a hypotenuse. 8 is a leg. . so 8^2 + b^2 = 24^2

b^2 = 512, so b = sqrt(512) = 22.6

what is the sum of an 8th term geometric series if the first term is -11, the last term is 180,224, and the common ratio is -4
Mumz [18]

The sum of n terms is given from the first term and the common ratio by

S_{n}=a_{1}\dfrac{r^{n}-1}{r-1}

For your given values of a1=-11, r=-4, n=8, the sum of 8 terms is

S_{8}=(-11)\dfrac{(-4)^{8}-1}{-4-1}=(-11)\dfrac{65535}{-5}\\\\=144177
