Use the formula to evaluate the series 1+2+4+8+

The sum of the given series is 1023

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric series states that a series in which a constant ratio is obtained by multiplying the previous term.

Sum of the geometric series is given by:

where a is the first term and n is the number of term.

Given the series:

This is a geometric series with common ratio(r) = 2

We have to find the sum of the series for 10th term.

⇒ n = 10 and a = 1

then;

Therefore, the sum of the given series is 1023

something that characterises a right triangle is the fact that we may use pythagoras' theorem to find any one of its sides given that we have the length of the other two sides. here, we have the length of the hypotenuse, √(87) yd, and one other side, √(23) yd, thus we can easily find the length of the remaining side using pythagoras' theorem as defined below:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

thus, given that c = √(87) and a = √(23), we may substitute these into the formula we defined above to get:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

(√87)^2 = (√23)^2 + b^2 (substitute c = √87 and a = √23 into the equation)

87 = 23 + b^2 (evaluate (√87)^2 = 87 and (√23)^2 = 23 - remember that the square root of a number, squared will equal that very same number)

64 = b^2 (subtract 23 from both sides)

√64 = b (take the square root of both sides)

8 = b (evaluate √64 = 8)

therefor, the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 8 yd (first answer).
