Answer:

435 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Reference angle = <P = 49° (angle of elevation)

Opposite side = 500 ft

Adjacent side = d = ?

Apply trigonometric function, TOA.

This:

Tan P = opp/adj

Tan 49 = 500/d

d × Tan 49 = 500

d = 500/Tan 49

d = 434.643369 ≈ 435 ft (to the nearest foot)

Find the indicated nth term show your solution 8,15,22,29,...,a18

Damm [24]

Answer:

127

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there! :)

Let us find the 18th term — first, there are two main types of sequences.

Arithmetic Sequence — a sequence that has same difference or common difference.
Geometric Sequence — a sequence that has same ratio.

But if you notice, it cannot be geometric sequence because if we do ratio test, there are no common ratios.

Hence, it can only be arithmetic sequence.

Common Difference

$\displaystyle \large{a_{n + 1} - a_n = d}$

d is our common difference.

a_n+1 is the next term of a_n.

Let's check the common difference!

15-8 = 7

22-15 = 7

29-22 = 7

Therefore, 7 is our common difference.

General Terms of Arithmetic Sequence

$\displaystyle \large{a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d}$

We know that a1 is the first term of sequence which is 8.

Our common difference is 7.

We want to find the 18th term — therefore,

$\displaystyle \large{a_{18} = 8 + (18 - 1)7} \\ \displaystyle \large{a_{18} = 8 + (17)7} \\ \displaystyle \large{a_{18} = 8 + 119} \\ \displaystyle \large{a_{18} = 127}$

Therefore, the 18th term is 127.

Rick is laying new tile in his entryway. The room is a perfect square measuring 144 square feet. He’s using 1-foot-square tiles,

nata0808 [166]

144 square feet ÷ 12 tiles per row = 12 rows of tiles.

There will be 12 rows of tiles.
