The number of terms in an A.P is odd. If the sum of all the terms is 45 and the number of terms is 4 more than the middle term, find the middle term.

please solve question 28



area of rectangle/ area of circle = 2 root(5)/3*pi

==> 1/2*d^2 sin x / pi * d^2/4 = 2 root(5)/3*pi

==> sin x = root 5/3 == > cos x = 2/3


therefore tan x = root 5/2

we need tan x/2.. tan x = 2 tanx/2 / (1 - tan^2 x/2)

root 5/2 = 2x / (1-x^2) solve for x we get x = 1/root 5


So I feel the answer is 1/root 5
