Answer:
s = 16.97 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use trigonometry to figure out the lengths of the sides.
Look at the 45 degree angle. We can use the opposite side (12) and the hypotenuse (s) to solve for s.
Opposite and hypotenuse is sine, so we are using sine. The sine of 45 degrees is 0.70710678118. Make an equation like so:
- 0.70710678118 =
, and we are solving for s.
Put a 1 in the denominator of sine(45 degrees) so you can cross-multiply.
Cross multiply.
- 0.70710678118s = 12
Divide both sides by sine(45 degrees).
- s = 16.97
The length of side s is 16.97 units.
Another way to have done this problem is to use the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Substitute 12 for a and b and solve for c, the hypotenuse.
- (12)^2 + (12)^2 = c^2
Evaluate the exponents.
- 144 + 144 = c^2
Add them together.
- 288 = c^2
Square root 288 to solve for c.
c = 16.97, which is the same answer as you got using trigonometry.
Answer:
503
Step-by-step explanation:
For an arithmetic sequence, the n-th term is found by
To find (the common difference) we can simply subtract one of the terms by the last, for example:
The common difference must be the same throughout the entire sequence, so we can do it once more just to be sure:
We also have to know that stands for the first term of the sequence, which in this case is 311.
Now that we know this, let's find the 32nd term
Good luck!
