Answer:
S₁₅ = 645
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum to n terms of an arithmetic sequence is
=
[ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Using the nth term formula
= 5n + 3 , then
a₁ = 5(1) + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8
a₂ = 5(2) + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13 , then
d = a₂ - a₁ = 13 - 8 = 5
Thus
S₁₅ =
[ (2 × 8) + (14 × 5) ]
= 7.5( 16 + 70)
= 7.5 × 86
= 645
Here we don't know the length of the hypo, but do have measures of both legs of this right triangle: x and 40 yd.
Use the tangent function to determine the value of x:
x
--------- = tan 62 degrees. Solving for x: x = (40 yd)(tan 62 deg).
40 yd can you evaluate this yourself?
Tan70=x/6
