- Application Designing patios Each row of bricks in the following triangular patio is to have on more brick than the previous row, ending with the longest row of 150 bricks. How many bricks will be needed?arrow_forwardA triangular brick wall is made by cutting some bricks in half to use in the first column of every other row (see figure). The wall has 28 rows. The top row is one-half brick wide and the bottom row is 14 bricks wide. How many bricks are in the finished wall?arrow_forwardFind four geometric means between -2 and 64.arrow_forward
- The sum of terms 50k2 from k=x through 7 is 115. What is x?arrow_forwardInsurance copayment Carrie had to have 5 fillings done. Each filling cost $80. Her dental insurance required her to pay 20% of the cost as a copay. Calculate Carrie’s copay: (a) First, by multiplying 0.20 by 80 to find her copay for each filling and then multiplying your answer by 5 to find her total copay for 5 fillings. (b) Next, by multiplying [5(0.20)](80) (c) Which of the properties of real numbers says that your answers to parts (a), where you multiplied 5[(0.20)(80)] and (b), where you multiplied [5(0.20)](80), should be equal?arrow_forwardBaling Hay In the first two trips baling hay around a large field, a farmer obtains 123 bales and 112 bales, respectively. Each round gets shorter, so the farmer estimates that the same pattern will continue. Estimate the total number of bales made after the farmer takes another six trips around the field.arrow_forward
