Triangle A B C is shown as the path of a ferry. Side A B is 3.5 miles long. The ferry turns 75 degrees to side B C. Side B C is

6 miles long. Side C A has an unknown length d.
A ferry transports passengers to three different ports. From port A, the ferry travels east 3.5 miles to port B. The ship then turns 75° south and travels for 6 miles to reach port C. What is the distance d from port C to port A? Approximate to the nearest tenth of a mile.

The length of C from A is 3.5 miles if AB=3.5 miles and BC is 6 miles .

Given The length of triangle ABC AB=3.5 miles , BC=6miles and AC=d

We have to find the value of d

First of all we have to draw a perpendicular from point A on side BC .

It forms two triangles ABE and AEC if E is the point where perpendicular stands on BC.

In triangle BEA

AE=\sqrt{3.5^{2} -3^{2} }

=\sqrt{12.25-9}

=\sqrt{3.25}

=1.8

Now in triangle AEC

AC=\sqrt{1.8^{2} +3^{2} }

=\sqrt{3.24+9}

=\sqrt{12.24}

=\sqrt{12.24}

=3.49 MILES

By rounding off to the nearest tenth we will get 3.4 miles

Hence the value of d is 3.4 miles.

Rationalize the denominator of the following expression and simplify:
Mama L [17]
To "rationalize the denominator" is another way to say, getting rid of that pesky radical at the bottom.

we'll simply start by multiplying top and bottom by the "conjugate" of the denominator, recall difference of squares, anyhow, let's do so

\bf \cfrac{6+\sqrt{2}}{5-\sqrt{2}}\cdot \cfrac{5+\sqrt{2}}{5+\sqrt{2}}\implies \cfrac{(6+\sqrt{2})(5+\sqrt{2})}{(5-\sqrt{2})(5+\sqrt{2})}\implies \cfrac{(6+\sqrt{2})(5+\sqrt{2})}{5^2-(\sqrt{2})^2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{30+6\sqrt{2}+5\sqrt{2}+(\sqrt{2})^2}{25-2}\implies \cfrac{30+11\sqrt{2}+2}{23}\implies \cfrac{32+11\sqrt{2}}{23}

An experiment results in one of the sample points upper e 1e1​, upper e 2e2​, upper e 3e3​, upper e 4e4​, or upper e 5e5. comple
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Given that an experiment results in one of the sample points E1, E2, E3, E4, or E5.

Then P(e1) + P(e2) + P(e3) + P(e4) + P(e5) = 1

If P(E1)=0.1, P(E2)=0.1, P(e4)=0.2, and P(E5)=0.3., then P(E1) = 1 - 0.1 - 0.1 - 0.2 - 0.3 = 0.3

Therefore, P(e3) = 0.3

He deposits $4,500 in an account that pays 1.5% interest, compounded quarterly. What is his balance after 5 years?\
anygoal [31]

Answer:

His balance is $4,849.65 after 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

A = future value = ?

P = present value = $4,500

r = interest rate = 1.5% = 0.015

n = number of periods = 4

t = time = 5 years

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

= 4,500(1 + 0.015/4)^4*5

= 4,500(1 + 0.00375)^20

= 4,500(1.00375)^20

= 4,500(1.0777)

= 4,849.65

A = $4,849.65

His balance is $4,849.65 after 5 years
