Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In a geometric sequence, the next term is a constant times the previous term. This constant is determined by dividing the second term by the first, here giving 5. The remaining terms are checked to see that each is 5 times the previous. 75 is 15×5, 375 is 75×5.
Alternately, the nth term is first term times k^(n-1).
Here, that's 3×5^(10-1), 3×5^9=5859375
If there is one table (t=1) then 6 chairs (c=6) can be placed around the table, 2 along the length on each side and 1 at each end.
When t=2, and the tables are end to end (joined at their width) c=10, that is, 4 chairs on each side of the double table and 1 at each end. Each time a table is added c increases by 4 so we can write c=4t+2 the constant 2 being the single chair at each end. If the tables are separated then c=6t.
The large triangle is an isosceles since both angles at the base each equal 42°.
In an isosceles triangle the altitude z is at the same time median , then it bisects the opposite side in the middle . So w = 120/2 = 60
Now let's calculate z:
tan 42° = (opposite side) / (adjacent side) = z/60
tan 42° = 0.9,
0.9 = z/60 and z = 54
This is a simple consequence of the Zero-sum problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-sum_problem
