SP#6: Unit K Concept 10 - Find Sums of Infinite Geometric Series



Make sure you pay close attention to what numbers to plug into each part of the formula. I tried my best to color code it, so it is easier to follow along. Also, don't forget about that whole number! Adding it to the last part of your problem is what gives you your final answer.

According to Fibonacci's Beauty Ratio test, Helena C was the most beautiful person I measured. Her measurements were but 0.007 away from the Golden Ratio. Her ratios included: 1.545, 2.045, and 1.244 cm which averaged to 1.611.  I believe the Beauty Ratio is a huge disclaimer because the friends I measured besides Helena were beauty to me as well. Yes, Josh and Rodolfo, too!  However, it did show how proportional parts of our body can be, and that is what makes it stand out to others.  True beauty comes from within; some show their beauty more than others. But as I've said before in my haiku, we are all ugly.
