Answer:
The first transit on one side of the trench is 18 ft higher than the other side of the trench. The transit is set at 4.5 above ground, therefore the transit lens is 18' + 4.5' = 22.5' above the location on the other side of the trench. The angle of depression is the angle formed by the horizontal and the line of sight to the other side and it is given as 31°. This forms a right angle triangle with height of 22.5' and an interior angle of 31°, Then
tan( 31°) = Height / base, with the base representing the width of the trench
base = Height / tan(31°) = 22.5' / tan(31°) = 37.45' is the width of the trench

Answer:
3(4/3)^2543
Step-by-step explanation:
Using logarithms base 2, we have ...

That is, the ratio of each term to the previous is a constant equal to 4/3. This is the definition of a geometric sequence. This sequence has first term 3 and common ratio 4/3, so the general term is ...

and the 2544th term is ...

We know that 24 is 160% more than some recommended number, let's call it "x." This means 1.6 times the recommended number equals 24. Therefore, all we need to do is solve for x.
