Final answer:

To find the fourth term, which represents the height of the fourth box in the stack, multiply the height of one box (7.5 inches) by the position number (4). The result is 30 inches, which is the height of the fourth box in the stack.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to determine the height of the fourth box in a stack where each box is 7.5 inches tall. The height of any box in the stack can be found by multiplying the height of one box (7.5 inches) by the position of the box in the stack. Therefore, the fourth term in this sequence, which represents the height of the fourth box, is calculated as follows:

  1. Height of one box = 7.5 inches
  2. Position of the desired box = 4
  3. Height of the fourth box = Height of one box × Position
  4. Height of the fourth box = 7.5 inches × 4
  5. Height of the fourth box = 30 inches

Thus, the fourth term, representing the cumulative height of four stacked boxes, is 30 inches.
