Answer:
10.76 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The following figure can be drawn from the information given.</em>
<em>We have to find the adjacent side which is between the given angle and 90 degrees.</em>
<em>Tan formula will be applied</em>
Tan (anlge) = opposite/adjacent
Opposite = 12.6
Angle = 49.5°
Adjacent = x
Tan (49.5°) = 12.6/x
x = 10.76 miles
Therefore, the fire is 10.76 miles away from the tower Pikes Peak.

Answer:
a₁ = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is
=
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here = 1530 and r = 2, thus
= 1530 , that is
a₁ (256 - 1) = 1530
255a₁ = 1530 ( divide both sides by 255 )
a₁ = 6
