Answer:

32√5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the right triangles PQA and PQB as well as the given right triangle QAB.

cot(PAQ) = 2/5 = QA/PQ

cot(PBQ) = 3/5 = QB/PQ

cot(PAQ) / cot(PBQ) = (2/5) / (3/5) = 2/3

cot(PAQ) / cot(PBQ) = (QA/PQ) / (QB/PQ) = QA / QB

QA / QB = 2/3

QA = (2/3) QB

QB = (3/2) QA

By the Pythagorean Theorem we have:

(QA)² + 32² = (QB)²

(QA)² + 32² = (3/2 QA)²

(QA)² + 1024 = (9/4) (QA)²

(5/4) (QA)² = 1024

(QA)² = (4/5)1024 = 4096/5

QA = 64/√5

Solve for PQ.

cot(PAQ) = QA/PQ

PQ = QA / cot(PAQ)

PQ = (64/√5) / (2/5) = 32√5

The height of the tower is 32√5.

Find the compound interest earned by the deposit of $1800 at 6% compounded quarterly for 6 years.
balandron [24]


The equation for the problem is x(1+r)^t

X is the original deposit
R is the rate or percentage of growth
T is the time, in years

X=1800
R=.06
T= 6

F(x)=1800(1+.06)^6
=1800(1.06)^6
=1800(1.41852)
=2533.3344

The above is the future value of the money, to find out how much was gained by interest just subtract the original investment of 1800

2533.3344-1800=753.3344

So the answer is B

Aaron is having rain gutters installed around the perimeter of his roof. How much will he spend if he is charged $3.50 per foot?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

$294.35

Step-by-step explanation:

left and right side of the house: 15 ft + 15 ft = 30 ft

top part of the house: (20 ft - 12 ft = 8 ft) 8ft + 9.6 ft + 7.5 ft = 25.1

bottom part of the house: (20 ft - 15 ft = 5 ft) 15 ft + 5 ft + 4. 5 ft + 4.5 ft = 29

30ft + 25.1ft + 29ft = 84.1

84.1 ft x $3.50 = 294.35
