Answer:
a₁ = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is
= 
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here 
= 1530 and r = 2, thus
= 1530 , that is
a₁ (256 - 1) = 1530
255a₁ = 1530 ( divide both sides by 255 )
a₁ = 6
All the triangles are similar, so the ratio of (long leg)/(short leg) is the same. The long leg of ΔADB is
.. AD = AC -DC = 20 -4
.. AD = 16
Then
.. (long leg)/(short leg) = AD/DB = BD/DC
.. 16/h = h/4
.. h^2 = 64
.. h = 8
Selection D is appropriate.
_____
You may see this again. The altitude (h) from the right angle in a right triangle is the geometric mean of segments AD and DC. That is,
.. h = √((AD)*(DC))
