1. A ball is dropped from a height of 30 feet and rebounds half of the distance dropped. Assuming it bounces
infinitely, what is the total distance the ball has traveled?
2. As part of their school’s initiative on recycling, Rowell is stacking empty plastic bottles to form a pyramid.
There are 45 bottles in the bottom row of the pyramid, and each successive row has one less bottle. If Rowell
is currently stacking the 26th row of the pyramid, how many bottles will he need to fill the row?
GOOD LUCK!!!
