Answer:

The distance is 8 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Manuel's house, his parents house, and grandparents house can be expressed as the three vertices of a right angled triangle. Thus, Pythagoras theorem can be applied to determine the distance from Manual's house to that of his grandparents.

Let the distance from Manuel's house to that of his grandparents be represented by x, so that;

/Hyp/^{2} = /Adj 1/^{2} + /Adj 2/^{2}

/10/^{2} = /x/^{2} + /6/^{2}

100 = x^{2} + 36

x^{2} = 100 - 36

   = 64

⇒ x = \sqrt{64}

      = 8

x = 8 miles

Thus, Manuel's house is 8 miles from his grandparents house.

Find the 21st term in the arithmetic sequence.<br> 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, ...
NNADVOKAT [17]

The 21st term of the given arithmetic sequence is 83. The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is applied to find the required value where n = 21.

<h3>What is the nth term of an arithmetic series?</h3>

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is calculated by the formula

aₙ = a + (n - 1) · d

Here the first term is 'a' and the common difference is 'd'.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

3, 7, 11, 15, 19, ....

So, the first term in the sequence is a = 3 and the common difference between the terms of the given sequence is d = 7 - 3 = 4.

Thus, the required 21st term in the sequence is

a₂₁ = 3 + (21 - 1) × 4

⇒ a₂₁ = 3 + 20 × 4

⇒ a₂₁  = 3 + 80

∴ a₂₁  = 83

So, the 21st term in the given arithmetic sequence is 83.
