Answer:
x = 3

Explanation:
Let's first start with the front triangle.
This one is an isosceles right-angled triangle. This means that it has special side lengths of: s , s and s√2 with s√2 being the hypotenuse.
Since we have the hypotenuse = 6√2 units
Therefore, each of the other two sides would be of length = 6 units

Now, let's consider the side triangle.
This one is also a right-angled triangle. This means that special trigonometric functions can be applied.
These functions are:
sin (θ) = opposite / hypotenuse
cos (θ) = adjacent / hypotenuse
tan (θ) = opposite / adjacent

Now, we have:
θ = 60°
adjacent side = x
hypotenuse = 6 units (calculated from the previous step)

Substitute with the givens in the cos function to get the value of x as follows:
cos (60) = x / 6
x = 6 * cos(60)
x = 3 units

Hope this helps :)

How much smaller is the sum of the first 1000 natural numbers than the sum of the first 1001 natural numbers?

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

ANSWER

1001

EXPLANATION

The sum of the first n - natural numbers is

$S_n= \frac{n}{2} (2a + d(n - 1))$

The sum of the first 1000 terms is

$S_{1000}= \frac{1000}{2} (2(1) + 1(1000 - 1))$

$S_{1000}=500 (1001)$

$S_{1000}=500500$

The sum of the first 1001 terms is

$S_{1001}= \frac{1001}{2} (2(1) + 1(1001 - 1))$

$S_{1001}= 1001 \times (501)$

$= 501501$

The difference is

$501501 - 500500= 1001$
