As you increase the subintervals the area will be closer and closer to the real value. In other words your approximation gets better.
As you increase the intervals, there will be more rectanagles and the added area of these rectangles are converging towards the actual area under the curve.
2. You simplified parenthesis on both sides
3. Subtracted 14 from -25 on right side
6. Divided each side by 9
Answer:
1. wire is approx. 143.96 ft
2. pole is approx. 106.55 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Mapping the information on the SOHCAHTOA picture below:
Φ = 46
wire = hypotenuse
adjacent side = 100
CAH is most suitable:
cos 46° = 100/wire => wire = 100/cos 46 ≈ 143.96
pole = opposite side + 3
TOA is most suitable:
tan 46° = (pole-3)/100 => pole = 3 + 100 * tan 46 ≈ 106.55
