Answer:
Distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground = 7608 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Height of the cliff is 532 feet, angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground is equal to 4 degrees.
To find: distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground
Solution:
In ΔABC,
(Alternate interior angles)
For any angle 
, 
side opposite to angle/side adjacent to angle
Put 
Distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground = 7608 feet

Answer:
1240 in³
Step-by-step explanation:
The overall dimensions of the block are ...
10 in by 11 in by 17 in
The volume of that space is ...
V = LWH = (10 in)(11 in)(17 in) = 1870 in³
The volume of each of the three identical holes is similarly found:
V = (10 in)(3 in)(7 in) = 210 in³
Then the volume of the block is the overall volume less the volume of the three holes:
= 1870 in³ - 3(210 in³) = 1240 in³
This is a false statement.
When you are solving using square roots, you need to be aware that answers can be both positive and negative. When we solve this, you see there are two possible answers.
x^2 - 9 = 0
x^2 = 9
x = +/- 3
While 3 is an answer, so is -3. If we square either of those numbers, we get 9, which will satisfy the equation.
First we find the common difference...to do this we subtract the first term from the second term. -7 - (-1) = -7 + 1 = -6
now we are going to find the 10th term
an = a1 + (n-1)*d <== formula for finding any term in arithmetic series
a1 = 1st term, d = common difference, n = term we want to find
now we sub
a10 = -1 + (10 -1) * -6
a10 = -1 + (9 * -6)
a10 = -1 - 54
a10 = - 55
now we will find the sum
Sn = (n (a1+ an)) / 2 <== formula for finding the sum
S10 = (10(-1 - 55))/2
S10 = (10(-56) / 2
S10 = -560/2
S10 = - 280
so the sum of the first 10 numbers is -280
