please help out on these,
thanks
answer is D
For this, i see now how the answer is close to but not quite 400, but is this something that would have to be worked out? If so, can someone show me how the answer is 357?
Thanks

The first one is geometric sequence
Sn = a (1-r^n)/1-r
where a = 1/2 r = -1/2 and n = 10
So its between 1/4 and 1/2 thats D
The second one uses the length of the arc
= x/360*2 pi * r
We know x = 90 and r = 100 so
length = 100 + 100 + length that is 157 approx C
Sn = a (1-r^n)/1-r
where a = 1/2 r = -1/2 and n = 10
So its between 1/4 and 1/2 thats D

can you show me how you solved this:
Sn = a (1-r^n)/1-r
where a = 1/2 r = -1/2 and n = 10
So its between 1/4 and 1/2 thats D
for the 2nd question, how did you get arc =157?
I thought the formula for the arc length was:
(central angle/360)=(arc/circumference)?
thanks

2. r = 100
The perimeter of the circle = 2 * pi * r = 2 * 3.14 * 100 = 628
Since the Angle given is 90, the length of the Arc will be 628/4 = 157
Now the Length of the fence = 100 + 100 + 157 = 357
2. r = 100

Now the Length of the fence = 100 + 100 + 157 = 357
