Answer: 22 meters
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Draw a picture of a right triangle and label the height as 30 meters and the hypotenuse as 37 meters. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the base (the length of the shadow).
a² + b² = c²
x² + 30² = 37²
x² = 37² - 30²
x² = 1369 - 900
x² = 469
√x² = √469
x = 21.656
x ≈ 22
A = √(15²-9²) = √(225-81) = √144 = 12
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
An arithmetic sequence that is described by the explicit formula ...

can also be described by the recursive formula ...

Matching parts of the formulas, we see that a1 = 4, d = -7. Putting these values into the explicit formula gives ...
