Answer:

An =4^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

the sequence is geometric because : (-64)/(-16) = (-16)/(-4)=-4/-1= 4=r

the nth term is : An =A1 × r^(n-1)

a common ratio is : r and A1 the first term

in this exercice : r =4 A1 = 1

An =A1 × r^(n-1)

An =1 × 4^(n-1)=4^(n-1)

How do u round 33 and 89 to estimate their sum

Zolol [24]

33 would round down. (30)

This is because the second 3 is smaller than 5 and when your rounding, if number your rounding is smaller then 5 you will round down

89 would round up. (90)

This is because the 9 is larger than 5 which means you would round up.

Which special version of the Pythagorean Theorem can you use to find the length of any squares diagonal, d, using only the lengt

EleoNora [17]

The square's diagonal is the triangle's hypotenuse.

The Pythagorean theorem is = $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$

Here, 'c' is the hypotenuse and 'a' and 'b' are the two sides of the triangle.

As the side is given 12 inches, so this becomes

$12^{2}+12^{2}=d^{2}$

$144+144=d^{2}$

$d^{2}=288$

$d=\sqrt{288}$

$d=16.97$ inches

Compute the number of vinyl tiles, measuring 25 cm each side, needed to tile a kitchen measuring 102 ft. by 18 ft. Try not to ro

nadya68 [22]

Answer: 2730 tiles (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, The side length of each side = 25

According to the question the shape of the tile is square.

Thus, the area of one tile = 25 × 25 = 625 $cm^2$

Also, we need to tile a kitchen measuring 102 ft. by 18 ft

Thus, the area of the room in which we have to tile = 102 × 18 = 1836 $feet^2$ = 1836×30.48 × 30.48 = 1705699.8144 $cm^2$

Thus, the total number of the tiles = the area of the room in which we have to tile / the area of one tile = $\frac{1705699.8144}{625} = 2729.11970304$
