The wire, the pole and the segment joining the leg of the pole to the wire in the ground form a right triangle whose hypotenuse is the wire, and the side opposite to the angle 36° is the pole.

By right triangle trigonometry, sin36°=(opposite side)/(hypotenuse.)

Substituting, we have 0.588=(opposite side)/220, thus the length of the opposite side, which represents the length of the pole, is 

                                       0.588*220 ft=129.3 ft

What is the explicit formula for this sequence?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

O D. an = 2(5)"

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression/sequence below

2, 10, 50, 250, 1250, ...

O D. an = 2(5)"

The explicit formula is C

a0= 2*5^0= 2

a1=2*5^1= 10

a2= 2*5^2= 50

a3=2*5^3= 250

a4=2*5^4= 1250

The slant height is used to find the volume of a square pyramid. true or false
alexandr1967 [171]
The answer is false.

For a square pyramid, the volume is calculated by 1/3*B*h. The height should touch the tip and lie perpendicular to the base. Slant height is used for surface area, not volume.
