Answer:

3293 ft to nearest tenth = side

Step-by-step explanation:

To find altitude this is the same in trigonometry as finding the side and we use calculation below in finding the hypotenuse which is same term as side for the angle of depression just to double check that height (altitude is less than slope in calculation).

sin (32) = 0.9271838546

3600/0.9271838546 = 3882.725074

= 3883 ft to nearest tenth. = slope

Then cos (32)x3882.725074 = 3292.737608

= 3293 ft to nearest tenth = side

7 (Picture) CONVERGENT AND DIVERGENT SERIES PLEASE HELP!!
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Option a. convergent: A

Step-by-step explanation:

a0=3/2

a1=9/8

a2=27/32

a1/a0=(9/8)/(3/2)=(9/8)*(2/3)→a1/a0=3/4

a2/a1=(27/32)/(9/8)=(27/32)*(8/9)→a2/a1=3/4

r=a1/a0=a2/a1→r=3/4

The abosute value of r= !r! = !3/4! = 3/4 = 0.75<1, the series is convergent

Which term best describes a proof in which you assume the opposite of what u want to prove​
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The Latin phrase is "reduction ad absurd um", meaning reduction to absurdity. You assume the opposite and show that logically it leads to a contradiction and therefore cannot be true.

Hope this helps.
