The support wire is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed. Therefore, the length of the support wire is 42.2 meters.

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

<h3>Right angle triangle</h3>

A right angle triangle has one of its angles as 90 degrees. The sides and angles can be found using trigonometric ratios.

Therefore, the height of the tower where the wire was attached is the opposite side of the triangle formed.

The wire was attached 30 m from the top. Hence, 65m - 30m = 35 m.

Therefore,

sin 56° = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 56° = 35 / x

The hypotenuse is the length of the support wire.

Therefore,

x = 35 / 0.82903757255

x = 42.2195416164

x = 42.2 m

Find a formula for the nth partial sum of the series and use it to find the series' sum if the series converges.
Arisa [49]

Answer: S_n=5(1-\dfrac{1}{n+1}) ; 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given series : [\dfrac{5}{1\cdot2}]+[\dfrac{5}{2\cdot3}]+[\dfrac{5}{3\cdot4}]+....+[\dfrac{5}{n\cdot(n+1)}]

Sum of series = S_n=\sum^{\infty}_{1}\ [\dfrac{5}{n\cdot(n+1)}]=5[\sum^{\infty}_{1}\dfrac{1}{n\cdot(n+1)}]

Consider \dfrac{1}{n\cdot(n+1)}=\dfrac{n+1-n}{n(n+1)}

=\dfrac{1}{n}-\dfrac{1}{n+1}

⇒ S_n=5\sum^{\infty}_{1}\dfrac{1}{n\cdot(n+1)}=5\sum^{\infty}_{1}[\dfrac{1}{n}-\dfrac{1}{n+1}]

Put values of n= 1,2,3,4,5,.....n

⇒ S_n=5(\dfrac{1}{1}-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{3}-\dfrac{1}{4}+......-\dfrac{1}{n}+\dfrac{1}{n}-\dfrac{1}{n+1})

All terms get cancel but First and last terms left behind.

⇒ S_n=5(1-\dfrac{1}{n+1})

Formula for the nth partial sum of the series :

S_n=5(1-\dfrac{1}{n+1})

Also, \lim_{n \to \infty} S_n = 5(1-\dfrac{1}{n+1})

=5(1-\dfrac{1}{\infty})\\\\=5(1-0)=5

(b)

The 50 degree angle and angle b are vertical angles, which means they are congruent.

The 50 degree angle and angle c are a linear pair, which means that they are supplementary/add up to 180 degrees.

Angles a and c are vertical angles, which means they are congruent.

a = 130

b = 50

c = 130

(c)

The 90 degree angle and angle b are vertical angles, which means they are congruent.

The 50 degree angle and angle c are vertical angles, which means they are congruent.

The 50 degree angle, 90 degree angle, and angle d all form a line, which means that they are supplementary and add up to 180.

Angle d and angle a are vertical angles, which means they are congruent.

a = 40

b = 90

c = 50

d = 40

(e)

The measure of a circle is 360 degrees. These three angles form a circle, so therefore if we add them all up, they will equal 360 degrees.

3a + 4a + 5a = 360

12a = 360

a = 30

(f)

The measure of a circle is 360 degrees. These four angles form a circle, so therefore if we add them all up, they will equal 360 degrees.

3a + 4a + 5a + 6a = 360

18a = 360

a = 20

Hope this helps!! :)

Point A is at (-6,5) and point B is at (3,-7)<br> What is the midpoint of line segment AB?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

( -1.5, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

add the x values together and divide by 2 and add the y values together and divide by 2

x: -6 + 3 = -3 divided by 2   x = -1 1/2 or -1.5

y: 5 + (-7) = -2 divided by 2  y = -1
