Answer:

85.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The extreme water slide forms a 20 angle with the tower it leans against 80 feet above the ground find the length of the slide x

We solve using the Trigonometric function of Cosine

cos y = adjacent/hypotenuse

y = angle = 20°

Adjacent = 80 ft

Hypotenuse = ?

cos 20 = 80/Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = 80/cos 20

x = 85.134221798 ft

Approximately = 85.1 ft

Length of the slide = 85.1 ft

Step - by - step - explanation

So first find out the pattern. As you can see it just minuses 2 each time. So first

18, 16, 14, 12 (then minus another 2) equals 10, 8, 6, 4, 2.

So 2 is the ninth of the pattern, so 2 will be your answer.

Hope this helps.
