Show by induction that sum_n(r*3^(r-1))=1/4+(3^n/4)*(2n-1) for n>0

Base Case n=1sum_1(r3^(r-1))=13^0=1=1/4+(3^1/4)(2-1)=1/4+3/4=1
Assume true for n=ki.e. sum_k(r
3^(r-1))=(3^k/4)(2k-1)
then for n=k+1sum_(k+1)(r
3^(r-1))= sum_k(r3^(r...

The perimeter of a right-angled triangle is 81 cm. The lengths of its sides are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4. Work out the area of the triangle.

Answer is 243cm2. 2+3+4 = 981/9 = 9Non-hypotenuse sides of triangle are therefore length (9x2=18) and (9x3=27)Area of triangle is (18x27)/2 = 243
