Since the problem is not telling us the height of Silvio, we are going to assume it is not relevant for our calculations.
Let

the altitude of the incoming plane. We know for our problem that the distance between Silvio and the tower is 3 miles, Also we know that the angle of elevation to the plane is 40°. With this information we can create a triangle as shown in the figure. We need a function that relates the angle of elevation with its opposite and adjacent sides, that function is tangent.




We can conclude that we should use the trig function tangent to model this situation; also, we can conclude that the equation that describes this situation is

.
Answer:
We can conclude that someone used more tiles then the other because both equations are not equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you try to solve it both equations will not be shown as equal.
Answer:
first one is A and the second one is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The general term for the sequence is

To find the 55th term, we have to substitute

in to the general term and simplify.
This implies that,




Therefore the 55th term is 161.
