Mathematical induction is just a way of proving a statement to be true for all positive integers: prove the statement to be true about 1; then assume it to be true for a generic integer x, and prove it to be true for x + 1; it therefore must be true for all positive integers.

Well..if you divide it by some k constant then the proof of induction occurs n=1 this is true because of the thickness of k constant' The proof by contradiction occurs here when there isn't any proof for the constant Therefore we have to use the hypotenuse of the triangle created with the interference of magnitudal diffferences The answer is: 489498949484994 kilometres per centimetre
