By comparing with a right triangle, we will see that the height of the tree is 62.12ft

<h3>How tall is the tree?</h3>

We can compare the situation with a right triangle. Such that the hypotenuse measures 68 ft, and an angle measures 66°.

We want to get the height of the tree, which would be the opposite cathetus, then we can use the relation:

Sin(a) = (opposite cathetus)/hypotenuse.

Sin(66°) = H/68ft

Tan(66°)*68ft = H = 62.12ft

The height of the tree is 62.12ft

Hayden likes building radio controlled sailboats with her father. One of the sails shaped like a tight triangle has side lengths
disa [49]

Answer:

the scaled sail has lengths 1.5 inches, 2 inches, and 2.5 inches. the diagram is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

a scale factor of 1/4 means that the lengths of each side of the sail will be reduced by 0ne-forth (0.6) its original length. Therefore the lengths of the scale drawing before and after scaling are:

6 inches = 6 × 1/4 = 6 × 0.25 = 1.5 inches

8 inches = 7 × 0.25 = 2 inches

10 inches = 10 × 0.25 = 2.5 inches.

Therefore the scaled sail has lengths 1.5 inches, 2 inches, and 2.5 inches as shown in the diagram attached.

Find the 10th partial sum of the arithmetic sequence defined by
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

22.5


Step-by-step explanation:

If you expand the series, you can see the first few terms of the series:

  • Putting 1 in n, \frac{1}{2}(1)-\frac{1}{2}=0
  • Putting 2 in n, \frac{1}{2}(2)-\frac{1}{2}=0.5
  • Putting 3 in n, \frac{1}{2}(3)-\frac{1}{2}=1
  • Putting 4 in n, \frac{1}{2}(4)-\frac{1}{2}=1.5

We can see the series is 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, ....

This is an arithmetic series with common difference (the difference in 2 terms) 0.5 and first term 0.

We know formula for sum of arithmetic series:

s_{n}=\frac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d)

Where,

  • S_{n} denotes the nth partial sum
  • a is the first term (in our case it is 0)
  • n is the term (in our case it is 10 since we want to find 10th partial sum -- sum until first 10 terms)
  • d is the common difference (difference in term and the previous term) (in our case it is 0.5)

Substituting these into the formula, we get the 10th partial sum to be:

s_{10}=\frac{10}{2}(2(0)+(10-1)(0.5))\\s_{10}=5(0+(9)(0.5))\\s_{10}=5(0+4.5)\\s_{10}=5(4.5)\\s_{10}=22.5

So the sum of the first 10 terms is 22.5. Third answer choice is right.
