Question:

Gabriel started to calculate the area of the triangle. His work is shown.

A = 1/2 bh=1/2 (1/2) (3/4)

A triangle has a base of three-fourths inch and a height of one-half inch

What is the area of the triangle?

The area of the triangle is ___in.²

Area of the triangle =

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the dimensions of the triangle as:

Base, b = ¾ inch

Height, h= ½ inch

To find the area of the triangle, let's use the formula :

Area of a triangle = ½base *height

Solving further, we have:

Area of a triangle =

Area of the triangle =

c

-by-step explanation:

it would be c

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt
