You can solve this using trigonometric functions.

The angle between the fish and the ground is
tan θ = 100 / 50
θ = tan-1 (2)
θ = 63.43°

The height of the bird before it dropped the fish is already given, which is 100 yards.

Prove the following using a direct proof:
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Prove: That the sum of the squares of 4 consecutive integers is an even integer.

An integer is a any directed number that has no decimal part or indivisible fractional part. Examples are: 4, 100, 0, -20,-100 etc.

Selecting 4 consecutive positive integers: 5, 6, 7, 8. Then;

5^{2} = 25

6^{2} = 36

7^{2} = 49

8^{2} = 64

The sum of the squares = 25 + 36 + 49 + 64

                                       = 174

Also,

Selecting 4 consecutive negative integers: -10, -11, -12, -13. Then;

-10^{2} = 100

-11^{2} = 121

-12^{2} = 144

-13^{2} = 169

The sum of the squares = 100 + 121 + 144 + 169

                                     = 534

Therefore, the sum of the squares of 4 consecutive integers is an even integer.

Subtract 2b by both sides which gets -b+4=-5 then subtract 4 by both sides so you get -b=-9 and divide -1 by both sides so that b=9
