We know that

• The angle of elevation is 25 degrees.

,

• The ship is 1500 meters from the lighthouse.

Let's make a diagram to visualize the problem.

Where x represents the height of the lighthouse. Let's use a trigonometric reason to find x.

In this case, it's convenient to use the tangent reason.

\tan \theta=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{adjacent\text{ leg}}

The opposite leg is x, the adjacent leg is 1500, and the angle is 25.

\tan 25=\frac{x}{1500}

To solve for x let's multiply each side by 1500.

\begin{gathered} 1500\cdot\tan 25=1500\cdot\frac{x}{1500} \\ x\approx699.5m \end{gathered}<h2>Therefore, the lighthouse is 699.5 meters tall.</h2>

Answer:

  • T(n) = 3n² - 4
  • -189 doesn't belong

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given sequence:</u>

  • -1, 8, 23, 44, 71

<u>The first differences:</u>

  • 9, 15, 21, 27

<u>The second differences:</u>

  • 6, 6, 6

<u>If the sequence is T(n) = an² + bn + c, we have:</u>

  • 2a = 6 ⇒ a = 3

<u>Using the first and second differences work out  the value of zero term:</u>

  • 9 - 6 = 3
  • -1 - 3 = -4

This gives us c = - 4

<u>Now we have:</u>

  • T(n) = 3n² + bn - 4

<u>The first term is T(1) = -1, substitute n = 1 and find the value of b:</u>

  • 3(1²) + b*1 - 4 = - 1
  • 3 + b - 4 = - 1
  • b = 0

<u>The nth term is:</u>

  • T(n) = 3n² - 4

<u>Now lets find if -189 belongs to this sequence:</u>

  • - 189 = 3n² - 4
  • 3n² = - 185

The left side is positive and the right side is negative so the answer is also negative

the cost of plastering a wall of a room having length 8m and heights 4m at 4s 15 per m² is rs 1560 . find the cost of carpeting
Virty [35]

Answer:

Here,

length = 8m

height = 4m

4s = 15 per m^2

Now,

300 per meter = 300 * 15 per m^2

= 4500 per m^2
