Answer:
100.0 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
For an acute angle in a right triangle, the cotangent function is the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side:
cot(16°42') = (distance to goal)/(30 ft)
Multiplying by the denominator, we have ...
(distance to goal) = (30 ft)cot(16°42') = (30 ft)(3.33317) ≈ 100.0 ft
The football is 100.0 feet from the base of the goal.
_____
cot(16°42') = tan(73.3°)

Answer: 17</h3>
=========================================================
Work Shown:
a1 = 3 = first term
d = 2 = common difference (since we add 2 to each term to get the next one)
Let's compute the nth term.
an = a1 + (n-1)*d
an = 3 + (n-1)*2
an = 3 + 2n-2
an = 2n+1
-----------------------
To check things so far, we can plug in something like n = 2
an = 2n+1
a2 = 2*2+1
a2 = 5
Showing that the 2nd term is 5, which matches with the sequence given to us
Let's check n = 3
an = 2n+1
a3 = 2*3+1
a3 = 7
That matches as well. I'll let you check the others.
-----------------------
Plug in n = 8 to find the 8th term
an = 2n+1
a8 = 2*8+1
a8 = 17
The eighth term is 17, which is the final answer.
-----------------------
You could extend out the given sequence by adding 2 each time until you reach the 8th term
3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17
Though this method is slow if you need to find say the 38th term
The average of a set of numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
An Example: 4×3 gives you the value of 12.
The name of this property is symetric property of equality
