A[1] = 14 . . . . . . . . . defines the first term
a[n+1] = a[n] -4 . . . says each term is 4 less than the one before it
Answer:
-0.555
Step-by-step explanation:
The terminal point of the vector in this problem is
(-2,-3)
So, it is in the 3rd quadrant.
We want to find the angle 
that gives the direction of this vector.
We can write the components of the vector along the x- and y- direction as:
The tangent of the angle will be equal to the ratio between the y-component and the x-component, so:
However, since we are in the 3rd quadrant, the actual angle is:
So now we can find the cosine of the angle, which will be negative:
These are the steps:
1. Find the area of the trapezium {Whole figure).
2. FInd the area of the rectangle (unshaded).
3. Area of the shaded = Area of trapezium - Area of the rectangle.
<u>Step 1: Find the area of the trapezium</u>:
Formula : Area of trapezium = 1/2 (a + b)h
Area = 1/2 ( 25 + 15) (12) = 240 yd²
<u>Step </u><u>2 :</u><u> Find the area of the rectangle</u>:
Formula : Area = Length x Width
Area = 12 x 3 = 36 yd²
<u>Step 3: Find the shaded region:</u>
240 - 36 = 204 yd²
Answer: 204 yd²
