the fire hydrant sits 72 feet from the base of a 125-foot buiding. Find the ANGLE OF ELEVATION from the fire hydrant to the top
of the building. *
1 answer:
Answer:
60°
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between angles and sides in a right triangle. Here, we're given the side Adjacent and the side Opposite the angle of interest. This makes it appropriate to choose the relation ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
For our angle of elevation α, this means ...
tan(α) = 125/72
α = arctan(125/72) = 60.058°
α ≈ 60°
The angle of elevation is about 60°.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, please consider the following.
So this is divisible by 3.
Now, to prove that this is divisible by 9 = 3*3 we need to prove that
is divisible by 3. We will prove it by induction.
Step 1 - for n = 1
4+17=21= 3*7 this is true
Step 2 - we assume this is true for k so is divisible by 3
and we check what happens for k+1
is divisible by 3 and
is divisible by 3, by induction hypothesis
So, the sum is divisible by 3.
Step 3 - Conclusion
We just prove that is divisible by 3 for all positive integers n.
Thanks
