An arborist wants to prune an oak tree that has grown too tall. The arborist takes a 15-foot ladder and places it on a horizonta

l surface on the ground so it leans against the tallest part of the tree trunk. If the bottom part of the ladder makes an angle of 70 degrees with respect to the ground, what is the distance between the ladder and the tree trunk?

See the attached picture to better understand the problem

we know that
in the right triangle ABC
cos 70=adjacent side angle 70/hypotenuse
adjacent side angle 70=BC----> <span>distance between the ladder and the tree trunk
hypotenuse=AC------> 15 ft

cos 70=BC/AC-------> solve for BC
BC=AC*cos 70------> BC=15*cos 70-----> BC=5.13 ft

the answer is
the </span>distance between the ladder and the tree  is 5.13 ft<span>

Identify az of this sequence: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25. 1.5

<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

Identify a3 of this sequence: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5,...a3=

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The third term of sequence is 0.75

a_3 = 0.75

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that, sequence is:

0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25. 1.5

Let us find the difference between terms

0.5 - 0.25 = 0.25\\\\0.75-0.5 = 0.25\\\\1.25-1=0.25\\\\1.5-1.25=0.25

This is a arithmetic sequence

Because the difference between any term and its immediately preceding term is always 0.25

In a arithmetic sequence,

a_1 = \text{ first term of sequnece }\\\\a_2 = \text{second term of sequnce }\\\\a_3 = \text{third term of sequnece }\\\\a_n = \text{ nth term of sequnce }

Thus, in the sequence 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25. 1.5

a_3 = \text{ third term } = 0.75

Thus the third term of sequence is 0.75

30 points what is the anwser to this
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

$330

Step-by-step explanation:

A simple way to do it is to see that it already has 20 on the graph. 20 is half of 40, so that stands to reason that $165 from 20 hours turns into $330 from 40 hours since it is double the work double the money.
