Answer:
<u>BC = 3.1666</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this you need to know that cosine∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse. We already know that hypotenuse = 5 and that ∅ = 70*. By substituting these in you will get cosine 70* = adjacent/5. Evaluate cosine 70* on the calculator and get 0.633... Multiply both sides by 5 and get adjacent is about equal to 3.1666. Because BC is the adjacent side of the triangle, this is the length of BC.
A
this is a geometric sequence since there exists a common ratio r between the terms
r =
=
=
= 3
B
to obtain the next term in the sequence multiply the previous term by 3
= 3
← recursive rule
C
the n th term of a geometric sequence is
=

where
is the first term in the sequence
= 7 ×
← explicit rule
Substitute 136.5 for y.

x = 126 or x = 65
Hence, the points on the curve are (65, 136.5) and (126, 136.5).
The width of the air space is the distance between these points.
Width = 
= 
= 126 - 65
= 61
Hence, width of the air space is 61m.
