By using what we know about right triangles, we conclude that the height is 11ft.
<h3>
How far is the top of the escalator from the ground floor? </h3>
We can think of this as a right triangle.
Where the length of the escalator is the hypotenuse
We know that the angle of depression is 42.51°, then the top angle of our right triangle is:
90° - 42.51° = 47.49°
Now, the height of the top of the escalator would be the adjacent cathetus to said angle, then we can use the relation:
cos(a) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)
Replacing what we know:
cos(47.49°) = height/16ft
cos(47.49°) *16ft = height = 10.8ft
Rounding to the nearest foot, we get:
height = 11ft

1/2 * 2/3 *3/4 * ... * 1999/2000
Observe, every numerator cancels with denominator
that leaves 1/2000
Answer:
-1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The common difference is how much it goes up by with each new number, so you can see that each time it goes down by 1/3. This means that the common difference is -1/3.
Hi
(1)-(-9) = 10
Yes it's equal two because we know that -×- = +. So now you have 1+9 = 10
Got it ? If you have any further question please let me know.
