5. Each year a tree farm grows 40 more trees than the number of trees grown the previous year. The farm sells all of their trees

Answer:

<em>1710 trees up to 2016 (not including 2016)</em>

<em>2100 trees up to 2016 (including 2016)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Farm started with 30 trees in 2007.

Every year 40 more trees than the previous year.

It is actually an Arithmetic Progression (AP) with

First term, a = 30 and

Common Difference, d = 40

The AP will look like:

30, 70, 110, 150, ....

We have to find the sum of this AP upto 9 terms and 10 terms:

9 terms sum will give us the total number of trees up to 2016 (not including 2016).

10 terms sum will give us the total number of trees up to 2016 (including 2016).

Formula for sum of 'n' terms of an AP:

S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d)\\\Rightarrow S_9=\dfrac{9}{2}(2\times 30+(9-1)40)\\\Rightarrow S_9=\dfrac{9}{2}(60+320)\\\Rightarrow S_9=\dfrac{9}{2}(380)\\\Rightarrow S_9=9 \times 180 = 1710

S_{10}=\dfrac{10}{2}(2\times 30+(10-1)40)\\\Rightarrow S_{10}=5(60+360)\\\Rightarrow S_{10}=5 \times 420\\\Rightarrow S_{10}=2100

<em>1710 trees up to 2016 (not including 2016)</em>

<em>2100 trees up to 2016 (including 2016)</em>

Find FG<br> FGH= 49<br> GH=31
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

<h3>18</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram;

FGH = 49

GH = 31

Using the expression to get FG;

FG + GH = FGH

FG + 31 = 49

FG = 49-31

FG = 18

Hence the measure of FG is 18

AB = 6 cm, AC = 12 cm, CD = ?

In triangle ABC, ∠CBA = 90°, therefore in triangle BCD ∠CBD = 90° also.

Since ∠BDC = 55°, ∠CBD = 90°, and there are 180 degrees in a triangle, we know ∠DCB = 180 - 55 - 90 = 35°

In order to find ∠BCA, use the law of sines:
 
sin(∠BCA)/BA = sin(∠CBA)/CA
sin(∠BCA)/6 cm = sin(90)/12 cm
sin(∠BCA) = 6*(1)/12 = 0.5
∠BCA = arcsin(0.5) = 30° or 150°
We know the sum of all angles in a triangle must be 180°, so we choose the value 30° for ∠BCA

Now add ∠BCA (30°) to ∠DCB = 35° to find ∠DCA.
∠DCA = 30 + 35 = 65°

Since triangle DCA has 180°, we know ∠CAD = 180 - ∠DCA - ∠ADC = 180 - 65 - 55 = 60°

In triangle DCA we now have all three angles and one side, so we can use the law of sines to find the length of DC.

12cm/sin(∠ADC) = DC/sin(∠DCA)
12cm/sin(55°) = DC/sin(60°)
DC = 12cm*sin(60°)/sin(55°)
DC = 12.686 cm
