Answer:

Common ratio = 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

2nd term = a1r and 3rd = a1r^2

So (a1)^2 r^3 = 972

a1 = 3/4, so

(3/4)^2 r^3 = 972

r^3 = 972 / 9/16

r^3 = 972*16/9 = 1728

r = 12.

Sierra left $4.50 as a tip for a waiter. THis was 18% of the bull before the tip, How much was her total bill before the tip?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

let's say the bill without the tip is "x" amount, so that'd be the 100% of the bill, but we also know that 4.50 is the 18% of "x".

so if 4.50 is the 18% of "x", how much is "x"?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 4.50&18\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{4.5}{x}=\cfrac{18}{100}\implies 450=18x \\\\\\ \cfrac{450}{18}=x\implies 25=x$

In ΔFGH, f = 960 inches, g = 380 inches and h=820 inches. Find the measure of ∠F to the nearest degree.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

$m\angle F\approx 100^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For any triangle, the Law of Cosines is given by $c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos C$ , where all three variables are interchangeable.

Therefore, we have:

$f^2=g^2+h^2-2gh\cos F,\\960^2=380^2+820^2-2(380)(820)\cos F,\\\cos F=-\frac{131}{779},\\F=\arccos(-\frac{131}{779})\approx \boxed{100^{\circ}}$
