An extremely large sink hole has opened up in a field just outside of the city limits. It is difficult to measure across the sin

k hole without falling in so you use congruent triangles. You have one piece of rope that is 50 ft. long and another that is 70 ft. long. You pick a point "A" on one side of the sink hole and "B" on the other side. You tie a rope to each spot and pull the rope out diagonally back away from the sink hole so that the two ropes meet at point "C" . Then you recreate the same triangle by using the distance from line "AC" and line "BC" and creating new segments CE and CD . The distance of line "DE" is 52.2 ft. 
What is the measure of angle ACB?

Triangle ABC and triangle DCE are congruent, so line DE = line AB

Use the cosine rule to find angle ACB
52.2^{2}= 50^{2}+  70^{2}-(2*50*70*cos(ACB))
2724.84=7400-(7000cos(ACB))
2724.84-7400=-7000cos(ACB)
-4675.16=-7000cos(ACB)
\frac{4675.16}{7000}=cos(ACB)
Angle ACB= cos^{-1} ( \frac{4675.16}{7000})
Angle ACB = 48.1°

An arithmetic sequence has a first term of 4 and a common difference of 3. What is the 20th term
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

61

Step-by-step explanation:

aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

aₙ = 4 + (20 - 1)3

aₙ = 4 + (19)3

aₙ = 4 + 57

aₙ = 61
