A(n)=4+4(n-1)
a(n)=4+4n-4
a(n)=4n
76=4n
n=19
The sum of any arithmetic sequence (series are infinite) is:
(a+a(n))(n/2)
The average of the first and last terms times the number of terms, in this case we found that n=19 so:
19(4+76)/2=760
Refer to the figure.
Let AB be the height of the pole; CD be the height of the transit; BC is the distance from the base of the pole to the transit.
Triangle ADE is a right triangle with angle D measuring 26 degrees. Using the tangent function, we have

So,

Therefore, the overall height of the pole is

The height of the pole is
66.53 feet.
6 inches of wire can be bought with 24 cents.
44/11 = 4
4 cents per inch
24/4 = 6
