You want to determine the height of the screen at a drive-in movie theater. You use a cardboard square to line up the top and bottom of the screen structure. The vertical distance from the ground to your eye is 5.5 ft and the horizontal distance from you to the screen is 14 ft. The bottom of the screen is 6 feet from the ground. Approximate the height of the screen to the nearest tenth.

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.

34.5 cm

step-by-step explanation:

generally for a circular segment of angle, θ° and radius r

arc length

= (θ/360) x circumference

= (θ/360) x 2πr

in our case, θ = 60°, π=3.142 and r = 33 cm

substitute into above formula

arc length

= (60/360) x 2(3.142)( 33) = 34.5 cm
