Answer:

  13.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric sequence of arc lengths can be described by ...

  f(n) = a·b^n

We have (n, f(n)) = (3, 20) and (7, 12). Using these values, we can find the common ratio (b):

  20 = a·b^3

  12 = a·b^7

Then ...

  12/20 = (a·b^7)/(a·b^3) = b^4 = 3/5

We want the 6th term, which we can get from the 7th term by multiplying by b^-1.

  b^(-1) = (b^4)^(-1/4) = (3/5)^(-1/4) = √(√(5/3)) ≈ 1.13622

Then the 6th swing had an arc length of ...

  f(6) = f(7)·b^-1

  f(6) = (12 ft)(1.13622) ≈ 13.63 ft ≈ 13.6 ft

I'm guessing this is a question about interest rates? If you have $20 that increases by 4% in one year, you need to multiply 20 by 1.04. This gets you $20.8.

If you are talking about compound interest, we will take this number and multiply it again by 1.04 for the second year. 20.8 x 1.04 = $21.632. 

If it is instead simple interest, we will simply add another .8 dollars for each year, instead of getting 4% interest compounded every year onto the new value. This gets you $21.6.

2. What is the length of the third side of the right triangle, when both sides are 20?
Helen [10]
Well the only right triangle with two similar sides is a special triangle called a 45 45 90. After the degrees of its shape
                                                      _
two sides are x and the other is x/2              _
so in this case the other angle would be 20/2 [20 root (2), its hard to draw roots on this site so I thought I would clarify that was what I was drawing]

Hope this helps, good luck.
