The sum of the geometric series is 1328600

<h3>How to determine the sum?</h3>

The given parameters are:

a1 = 5

r = 3

n = 12

The sum of the terms is:

$S_n = \frac{a(1 - r^n)}{1 - r}$

This gives

$S_n = \frac{5 * (1 - 3^{12})}{1 - 3}$

Evaluate the difference

$S_n = \frac{5 * (1 - 531441)}{-2}$

This gives

$S_n = \frac{5 * - 531440}{-2}$

Evaluate

$S_n = 1328600$

Hence, the sum of the geometric series is 1328600

A plane travels 240 miles on a bearing of N 10° E and then changes its course to N 67° E and travels another 180 miles. Find the

aksik [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Plane travels 240 miles $10^{\circ}$ East of North

Position vector $\vec{r_1}=240(\cos(10)\hat{j}+\sin (10)\hat{i})$

Then the plane travels 180 miles $67^{\circ}$ East of North

$\vec{r_{21}}=180(\cos(67)\hat{j}+\sin (67)\hat{i})$

$\vec{r_2}=\vec{r_{21}}+\vec{r_1}$

$\vec{r_2}=\left ( 240\sin (10)+180\sin (67)\right )\hat{i}+\left ( 240\cos (10)+180\cos (67)\right )\hat{j}$

$\vec{r_2}=\left ( 207.36\right )\hat{i}+\left ( 306.68\right )\hat{j}$

Total distance traveled in North direction is given by coefficient of \hat{j}

i.e. North $=306.68\ miles\approx 307\ miles$

Total distance traveled in East direction is given by coefficient of \hat{i}

East $=207.36\ miles\approx 207\ miles$

First, break the irregular polygon into shapes whose (select)

Olegator [25]

The area of a shape is the amount of space it occupies

The complete statement is: First, break the irregular polygon into shapes whose area you can find using familiar formulas. The sum of these areas is the area of the polygon.

<h3>How to determine the area of an irregular polygon</h3>

An irregular polygon contains several familiar shapes.

So, the first thing to do is to break the polygon into smaller shapes

Then calculate the areas of these shapes

Lastly, add the areas of the shapes to get the area of the irregular polygon

Hence, the area of an irregular polygon is the sum of the areas of the shapes that make up the irregular polygon
