An Egyptian document, the Rhind Papyrus (ca. 1650 B. C.), states that the area of a circle can be determined by finding the area of a square whose side is 8/9 of the diameter of the circle. Show that this is not correct and find the incorrect value of π assumed by this technique.

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.
