Domestic bees make their honeycomb by starting with a single hexagonal cell, then forming ring after ring of hexagonal cells aro
und the initial cell, as shown. The number of cells in successive rings forms an arithmetic sequence..
A-Write a rule for the number of cells in the
ring.
b. How many cells are in the honeycomb after the ninth ring is formed?

Answer:
Charlie is incoerre
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Line of sight to top of flagpole = 16 feets
Angle of elevation = 60°
The height of the flagpole :
Applying trigonometry to the drawing in the attached picture :
We use:
Sinα = opposite / hypotenus
This enables us to use the value of the hypotenus (line of sight) to obtain the missing height value (h)
Sin(60°) = h / 16
h = 16 * sin 60
h = 16 * 0.8660254
h = 13.856406
Hence flagpole is about 13.86 feets high
Charlie's reasoning is incorrect, the line of sight constitutes the hypotenus and not Adjacent and hence, shoul
