180^2 + 235^2 = (cliff base to point on bridge)^2
32400 + 55225 = 87625
so cliff base to point on bridge = sqrt of 87625.
Then notice 87625 + d^2 = (x+180)^2
since x^2 +235^2 = d^2,
substitute (x^2 + 235^2) for d^2, like this:
87625 + x^2 + 235^2 = (x+180)^2
87625 + x^2 + 55225 = x^2 + 360x + 32400
87625 + 55225 - 32400 = x^2 - x^2 +360x
360x = 110450
x = about 306.8 feet
h = x+180, so h = 486.8 feet
Remember d^2 = x^2 + 235^2, so
d^2 = 306.8^2 + 235^2
d^2 = 149354.6489
d = about 386.46 feet

balandron [24]
The total amount repaid will be
.. monthly payment × number of months
.. = $2,160 × 360
.. = $777,600
Subtracting the amount of the principal that was repaid gives the interest.
.. $777,600 -360,000 = $417,600 . . . . total interest paid

The sum of the first term of an ap is 240 and the sum of the next 4 term is 220 find the first term of the ap
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The common difference is -5/4

T(n) = T(0)  - 5n/4,

where T(0) can be any number. d = -5/4

Assuming T(0) = 0, then first term

T(1) = 0 -5/4 = -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

T(n) = T(0) + n*d

Let

S1 = T(x) + T(x+1) + T(x+2) + T(x+3) = 4*T(0) + (x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3)d = 240

S2 = T(x+4) + T(x+5) + T(x+6) + T(x+7) = 4*T(0) + (x+5 + x+6 + x+7 + x+8)d = 220

S2 - S1

= 4*T(0) + (x+5 + x+6 + x+7 + x+8)d - (4*T(0) + (x+1 + x+2 + x+3 + x+4)d)

= (5+6+7+8 - 1 -2-3-4)d

= 4(4)d

= 16d

Since S2=220,  S1 = 240

220-240 = 16d

d = -20/16 = -5/4

Since T(0) has not been defined, it could be any number.
