The length of the shadow is 124.7 in

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u />

Given:

Angle, θ = 30°

Height of the fence,  h = 72 in

Length of the shadow, l = ?

Given:

tan 30° = \frac{perpendicular}{base}  = \frac{height of the fence}{length of the shadow}

\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } = \frac{72}{l} \\\\l = 72\sqrt{3} \\\\l = 124.7 in

Therefore, the length of the shadow is 124.7 in

Generate the first 5 terms of this sequence:
AURORKA [14]
<span>We are given f(1) = 0 and f(2) = 1. Going forward, the term is the sum of the two previous terms. f(3) = f(2) + f(1) = 0 + 1 = 1. f(4) = f(3) + f(2) = 1 + 1 = 2 f(5) = f(4) + f(3) = 2 + 1 = 3 This matches answer B.</span>
