This is the concept of trigonometry, the distance of Lily from the tower will be given by:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
opposite=1450 ft
adjacent=x ft
theta=15.7
thus;
1450/x=tan15.7
hence;
x=1450/tan15.7
x=5,158.54 ft
x=5,159 (to the nearest foot)

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The sequence converges to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{2}{4}. \frac{3}{5}, \frac{4}{6}, \frac{5}{7},...

Require

Description of the sequence

The given sequence follows:

\frac{2}{4}. \frac{3}{5}, \frac{4}{6}, \frac{5}{7},... \frac{n+1}{n+3}

i.e.

T_n = \frac{n+1}{n+3}

For every term,

\frac{n+1}{n+3} < 1

In other words,

as the value of n increases, \frac{n+1}{n+3} approaches 1

<em>Hence, (c) is true</em>

What is the measurement of angle 1 plz help me !
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

ANGLE 1 = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

angle 1 = angle 2 ------(alternate interior angles)

2x + 20 = 3x + 10

20 - 10 = 3x - 2x

x = 10.

Angle 1 = 2x + 20 = 2(10) + 20 = 20 + 20 = 40°.

HOPE IT HELPS!!!
