<u>Step-by-Step </u><u>Explanation</u><u>:</u>
The given relation between the nth term and it's previous term is given by:
GiveN:
Now finding the other three terms of the AP with the given relation.
Putting a1 = 4,
Now, Third term:
Putting a2 = 8,
Now, Fourth term:
Putting a3 = 12,
Hence, The first four terms of the AP is 4, 8, 12 & 16.
Answer:
148ft
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, you'll have to imagine the statue makes a right angle triangle with the base since it has an angle of elevation from the base to the top of the torch.
Assuming the height from the pedestal to the top of the torch is y
The height of the statue is x
But we know the height of the pedestal = 150ft
The distance from the observer to the base of the pedestal = 250ft
And the angle of elevation = 50°
See attached document for better illustration.
Tanθ = opposite / adjacent
θ = 50°
Adjacent = 250
Opposite = y
Tan50 = t / 250
y = 50 × tan50
y = 50 × tan50
y = 50 × 1.1917
y = 297.925ft
The height of the statue from the base of the pedestal to the top of the torch is 297.925ft
The height of the statue = x
x = (height of the statue + height of the pedestal) - height of the pedestal
x = y - 150
x = 297.925 - 150
x = 147.925ft
Approximately 148ft
The height of the statue is 148ft
