The Fibonacci sequence $1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,\ldots$ starts with two 1s, and each term afterwards is the
sum of its two predecessors. Which one of the ten digits is the last to appear in the units position of a
number in the Fibonacci sequence?

$\mathrm{(A) \ 0 } \qquad \mathrm{(B) \ 4 } \qquad \mathrm{(C) \ 6 } \qquad \mathrm{(D) \ 7 }

\qquad \mathrm{(E) \ 9 }$

(2000 AMC 12, Problem 4)

A colony has $1$ rabbit. A rabbit produces one offspring every month. An offspring rabbit takes one
month to grow up. Find a formula for the number of rabbits (including offspring) in the $n$th month.

How about if the colony starts with $a$ rabbits and $b$ offspring?

Use this result to prove the identity $F_{m+n+1} = F_{m+1} \cdot F_{n+1} + F_{m} \cdot F_n$.

Find $\gcd(F_n,F_{n+1})$.

Prove the above identites.

Volume of a Cube

A cube is a three-dimensional figure with six matching

square sides. The figure below shows a cube with sides s.
 volume of cube

If s is the length of one of its sides, then the volume of the

cube is s × s × s

Volume of the cube = s3

How to find the volume of a cube?

The formula for the volume of a cube is s × s × s = s3, where s is the length of a side of the cube.

Example:

Find the volume of a cube with sides = 4cm

Volume of a Rectangular Solid

A rectangular solid is also called a rectangular prism or a cuboid.

In a rectangular solid, the length, width and height may be of different lengths.

volume of rectangular solid

The volume of the above rectangular solid would be the product of the length, width and height that is

Volume of rectangular solid = lwh

How to find the volume of a rectangular prism or cuboid?

The formula for the volume of a cuboid is l × w × h = lwh, where l is the length, w is the width and h is
the height of the rectangular prism. This video will give two examples of finding the volume of a
rectangular prism.

Examples:

1. Find the volume of a rectangular prism with sides 25 feet, 10 feet and 14 feet.

2. Find the volume of a rectangular prism with sides 5.4 inches, 7.5 inches and 18.3 inches.

Volume of a Prism

A prism is a solid that has two parallel faces which are congruent polygons at both ends. These faces
form the bases of the prism. The other faces are in the shape of rectangles. They are called lateral
faces.A prism is named after the shape of its base.
triangular prism and cuboid

When we cut a prism parallel to the base, we get a cross section of a prism. The cross section has the
same size and shape as the base.

cut a triangular prism

The volume of a right prism is given by the formula:

Volume of prism = Area of base × length

V = Al

where A is the area of the base and l is the length or

height of the prism.

How to find the volume of a triangular prism?

This video shows how to determine which is the base and the height of the triangular prism.

Examples:

Find the value of a triangular prism, use the following

formula:
Volume = (area of base) × height

Volume of a Cylinder

A cylinder is a solid that has two parallel faces which are congruent circles. These faces form the bases of
the cylinder. The cylinder has one curved surface. The height of the cylinder is the perpendicular
distance between the two bases.

Cylinder

Volume of Cylinder

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula:

Volume = Area of base × height

V = π r2h

where r = radius of cylinder and h is the height or length of cylinder

Example:

Find the volume of a cylinder with radius 9 and height 12
