Answer:

60.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using trigonometry :

Opposite = Height of shadow = 42 feets

Adjacent = height of flagpole = 23.7 feets

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan θ = height of shadow / height of flagpole

Tan θ = 42 / 23.7

Tan θ = 1.7721518

θ = tan^-1(1.7721518)

θ = 60.56

θ = 60.6°

17. You roll a number cube. How likely is it that you will roll a number less than 7? <br> Explain
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1 or 100%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling less than 7 is equal to the probability of rolling 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6. That is 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 6/6. So any number from the dice can come up when you roll it because a perfect dice has 6 sides.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

C  a1= -2

    an = an-1 +3

Step-by-step explanation:

an = -2+ (n-1)3

What is the first term?  Let n=1

a1 = -2 + 0*3

a1 = -2


The difference between the  terms is +3  (coefficient on (n-1))

The second term is the first term +3

The third term is the second term plus 3

The next term is the previous term +3

so an = an-1+ 3
