The distance of the ball from the foot of the tower is : 35.18m

The ball would be moved 57.2m away from the foot of the tower for the Angle of elevation to be halved.

<h3>What is angle of elevation?</h3>

Angle of elevation is the angle formed between the horizontal and the  line of view from the vertical.

Analysis:

The height of the tower and the distance of the ball from the foot of the tower form a right angle triangle.

so we use trigonometry.

a) let distance of the ball from foot of tower be x.

  so that, tan 52 = 45/x

  x = 45/tan52

  x = 45/1.279 = 35.18m

b) let the distance of the ball in the new position from the foot of the tower be y.

if the angle of elevation is halved, then new angle is 52/2 = 26°

 tan 26 = 45/y

y = 45/tan26 = 45/0.487 = 92.4m

distance moved from old position to new position = 92.4 - 35.18 = 57.2m

In conclusion, the distance of the ball from the foot of the tower and the distance the ball should move to make its elevation 26° are 35.18m and 57.2m respectively.

What is the 10th term in this geometric sequence?<br>2,4, 8,16,.....​
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

1024

Step-by-step explanation:

you can plug 10 to the explicit formula. f(n)= a times r to the power of n minus 1. A is the first term, r is the common ratio and n is the nth term. 2 times 2 to the power of 10 minus 1. 2 times 2 to the power of 9 is 1024. Hope this helps!

Given the diagram below, what is cos(45")?<br> 45° 6 <br> A. √2<br> B. 6/√2<br> C. 1/√2<br> D. 3√2
Gnesinka [82]
C. 1/root2

Based on the information, the hypotenuse will be 6root2 because it is a 45, 45, 90 triangle. The two legs will be 6. Using SOH CAH TOA, we know that for cosine, it will be adjacent/hypotenuse. The adjacent side is 6 and the hypotenuse is 6root2. The result will be (6)/(6root2). After simplifying, we get
1/root2.
