Answer:

2.5477 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the image attached to understand my solution.

BC = height of lamppost.

DE = Julia

AD = shadow of Julia

BD = 2 feet.      AD = 5 feet

BA = BD + AD

       = 2 + 5 = 7 feet

In ΔABC

tan 20° = \frac{BC}{BA}  = \frac{BC}{7}

BC = 7 * tan 20°

BC = 2.5477 feet

SO the height of lamppost = 2.5477 feet

After 10 months the simple interest earned annually on an investment of $6000 was $769. Find the interest rate to the nearest te
Lady bird [3.3K]
Simple interest = $769
Principal = $6000
Rate = ?
Time = 10 months (must convert to years if in months) = 10/12 = 0.833
Formula
I = prt
Substitute
769 = 6000 × r × 0.833
769 = 4998r
Divide both sides by 4998
769/4998 = 4998r/4998
0.15386 = r
(to the nearest tenth of a percent) = 0.15
Therefore, your rate is 0.15%.
