Answer

Find out the how high up the wall does the ladder reach .

To proof

let us assume that the height of the wall be x .

As given

A 25-foot long ladder is propped against a wall at an angle of 18° .

as shown in the diagram given below

By using the trignometric identity

cos\theta = \frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}

now

\theta = 18^{\circ}

Base = wall height = x

Hypotenuse = 25 foot

Put in the trignometric identity

cos18^{\circ} = \frac{x}{25}

cos18^{\circ} = \bar{0.9510565162}

x = 23.8 foot ( approx)

Therefore the height of the  ladder be 23.8 foot ( approx) .

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the sequence is 90, 86,82,.......

The common difference is  86 - 90 = -4

                                             82 - 86 = -4

Hence the sequence is arithmetic

The function is;

t(n) = 90 + (n - 1)(-4) = 90 + 4 - 4n

t(n) = 94 - 4n

Since it is AP, we have the sequence as;

90, 86, 82, 78, 74, 70, 66, 62......

He will no longer play football after the eighth quiz.

The total points earned is the sum of the first eight terms of the AP

Sn =n/2[2a + (n - 1) d]

Sn = 8/2[2(90) + (8 - 1) (-4)]

Sn = 608 points
