We will use demonstration of recurrences<span>1) for n=1, 10= 5*1(1+1)=5*2=10, it is just
2) assume that the equation </span>10 + 30 + 60 + ... + 10n = 5n(n + 1) is true, <span>for all positive integers n>=1
</span>3) let's show that the equation<span> is also true for n+1, n>=1
</span><span>10 + 30 + 60 + ... + 10(n+1) = 5(n+1)(n + 2)
</span>let be N=n+1, N is integer because of n+1, so we have
<span>10 + 30 + 60 + ... + 10N = 5N(N+1), it is true according 2)
</span>so the equation<span> is also true for n+1,
</span>finally, 10 + 30 + 60 + ... + 10n = 5n(n + 1) is always true for all positive integers n.

180^2 + 235^2 = (cliff base to point on bridge)^2
32400 + 55225 = 87625
so cliff base to point on bridge = sqrt of 87625.
Then notice 87625 + d^2 = (x+180)^2
since x^2 +235^2 = d^2,
substitute (x^2 + 235^2) for d^2, like this:
87625 + x^2 + 235^2 = (x+180)^2
87625 + x^2 + 55225 = x^2 + 360x + 32400
87625 + 55225 - 32400 = x^2 - x^2 +360x
360x = 110450
x = about 306.8 feet
h = x+180, so h = 486.8 feet
Remember d^2 = x^2 + 235^2, so
d^2 = 306.8^2 + 235^2
d^2 = 149354.6489
d = about 386.46 feet
If two angles are equal then the other angles will also be equal
