<u>Answer:</u>

  • The length of the hypotenuse is 17 km.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<em>Since this is a right triangle, we can use Pythagoras theorem to solve for c.</em>

  • c² = 15² + 8²
  • => c² = 225 + 64
  • => c² = 289
  • => c = 17

Hence, the length of the hypotenuse is 17 km.

Answer:

17 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorm is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

In this problem we can call 8 km a and 15 km b.

Plug 8 and 15 into the pythagorean theorm to get 8^2 + 15^2 = c^2

This will give you 289=c^2

Take the square root of both sides to get c=17

Hope this helps!

The 4th and 8th term of a G.P. are 24 and 8/27 respectively. find the 1st term and common ratio
beks73 [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a geometric progression is

• a_{n} = a₁ r^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

given a₄ = 24, then

a₁r^{3} = 24 → (1)

Given a₈ = \frac{8}{27}, then

a₁r^{7} = \frac{8}{27} → (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

r^{4} = \frac{\frac{8}{27} }{24} = \frac{1}{81}

Hence r = \sqrt[4]{\frac{1}{81} } = \frac{1}{3}

Substitute this value into (1)

a₁ × (\frac{1}{3} )³ = 24

a₁ × \frac{1}{27} = 24, hence

a₁ = 24 × 27 = 648
