<span><u>Answer </u>
18 feet and 4.5 inches

<u>Explanation </u>
You are going to use the concept of similar triangle.
∆CED≡∆CBA
This is because they share the angle at C and also they both have an angle of 90o.
Let EC = X, then BE = 2.5X. So, BE = (X + 2.5X) = 3.5X
The scale factor EC/BC=x/3.5x=2/7
EC/BC=ED/BA=2/7
BA=7/2×63 in
The height of the tree = 220.5 inches. This is equal 18 feet and 4.5 inches.

How do you complete this task?
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx +b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

we just need to rewrite 3x+2y+18=0 to look like that

We need to get y by itself

3x+18= -2y

we need y to be positive and to have no number in front of it (no coeficcent)

y= -3/2x-9

the slope is therefore -3/2

Calculate the future value (in dollars) of $1,550 deposited into an account earning an annual simple interest rate of 4% compoun
RUDIKE [14]

Answer: the future value is $1748.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

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

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = 1550

r = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04

n = 365 because it was compounded 365 times in a year.

t = 3 years

Therefore,.

A = 1550(1 + 0.04/365)^365 × 3

A = 1550(1+0.00011)^1095

A = 1550(1.00011)^1095

A = 1550 × 1.128

A = 1748.4
