(e) Arithmetic Progression

The keywords are:

The principal suggested an additional of 12 semicircular flower beds to the design
submitted by the Mathematics Society. (n = 12)
The sum of the diameters of the semicircular flower beds is 10 m. (S12 = 10 m)
The diameter of the smallest flower bed is 30 cm. (a = 30 cm = 0.3 m)
The diameter of the flower beds are increased by a constant value successively. (d = ?)
S12 = (n/2)[2a + (n - 1)d]
10 = (12/2)[2(0.3) + (12-1)d]
= 6(0.6 + 11d)
= 3.6 + 66d
66d = 6.4
d = 16/165
Since the first flower bed is 0.3 m,
Hence the diameters of remaining 11 flower beds expressed in arithmetic progression
are:
131/330 m, 163/330 m, 13/22 m, 227/330 m, 259/330 m, 97/110 m, 323/330 m, 71/66
m, 129/110 m, 419/330 m, 41/30 m

But still, I am not saying you are wrong.

Maybe you can ask your teacher.
This is just my brief working on it.
I haven't take action on the real folio.
Anyway, I need to hand it up within this 2 weeks...
T.T

actually i aso no vry understand question 3e, if wan find remain, is it make d common
difference into not decimal place?
i do lik tat:
S12=12/2(2(30)+(12-1)d)
1000=360+66d
d=9.6969696969...
d=9

s12=12/292(30)+(12-1)9)
=360+594
=954

1000cm-954cm=46cm
so remain 46cm. The keywords are:
