We have a triangle, when:
hypotenuse=slant height=20 ft
opposite side=height of the tree=?
angle formed by the tree with the ground=72º


sin Ф=opposite/ hypotenuse    ⇒ opposite=(hypotenuse)(sin Ф)

In this case:
oppssite=20 ft /sin 72º=19.021...≈19

Answer: the heigth of the tree is 19 ft.

Using the converse of Pythagorean Theorem and the law of sines and cosines solve the word problem.
Helga [31]

Answer:

It's the law of cosines

Step-by-step explanation:

law of cosines states that c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2} -2ab (cos(\alpha ))

so we know that a = 7, b = 4, and alpha would be 135 degrees, so just plugging it in gets us 49+16-2*7*4*(-0.707) = 65 + 39.59 = 104.59

Identify whether the series sigma notation infinity i=1 15(4)^i-1 is a convergent or divergent geometric series and find the sum
const2013 [10]

Answer:  The correct option is

(d) This is a divergent geometric series. The sum cannot be found.

Step-by-step explanation: The given infinite geometric series is

S=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}15(4)^{i-1}.

We are to identify whether the given geometric series is convergent or divergent. If convergent, we are to find the sum of the series.

We have the D' Alembert's ratio test, states as follows:

Let, \sum_{i=1}^{\infty}a_i is an infinite series, with complex coefficients a_i and we consider the following limit:

L=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{a_{i+1}}{a_i}.

Then, the series will be convergent if  L < 1 and divergent if  L > 1.

For the given series, we have

a_i=15(4)^{i-1},\\\\a_{i+1}=15(4)^i.

So, the limit is given by

L\\\\\\=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{a_{i+1}}{a_i}\\\\\\=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{15(4)^i}{15(4)^{i-1}}\\\\\\=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{15(4)^i}{15(4)^{i}4^{-1}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{4^{-1}}\\\\=4>1.

Therefore, L >1, and so the given series is divergent and hence we cannot find the sum.

Thuds, (d) is the correct option.
