Answer:
10 terms
Step-by-step explanation:
equate the sum formula to 55 and solve for n
n(n + 1) = 55 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
n(n + 1) = 110 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
n² + n = 110 ( subtract 110 from both sides )
n² + n - 110 = 0 ← in standard form
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 110) which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term (+ 1)
the factors are + 11 and - 10 , since
11 × - 10 = - 110 and 11 - 10 = + 1 , then
(n + 11)(n - 10) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for n
n + 11 = 0 ⇒ n = - 11
n - 10 = 0 ⇒ n = 10
However, n > 0 , then n = 10
number of terms which sum to 55 is 10

Answer:
The last one .
Step-by-step explanation:
1) There are three trigonometric ratios for right-angled triangles.
In a right triangle, the hypotenuse, h, is the side opposite the right angle. Relative to the acute angle θ, check the attachment, the legs are called the opposite side, o, and the adjacent side a.
2) In this case, we are given a length and an angle to find x and y.
Let's find x first. To find x we need to use .
Find y.
Notice that, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find y.
3) Round them off to the nearest tenth.
Therefore, the correct choice is the last one .
