Answer:

It will take nine years and four months for the refrigerator to pay for itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

The new refrigerator which costs $1200, saves the family 22% annually in energy cost.

Since the old refrigerator costs $580 to run, we want to determine how many years it will take for 22% of $580 per year to make $1200.

22% of $580

= 580 × 0.22

= 127.6

That is, it saved then $127.6 per year.

Now,

$1200/127.6

≈ 9.4

Which means, it will take 9 years and 4 months for the refrigerator to pay for itself.

A wall with a height of 20 feet is braced with a support post that forms a 30 degree angle with the top of the wall. What is the
dexar [7]

The length of the support post is 40 ft.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, the height of the wall is 20 ft; support post forms 30 degree

Refer the attached image

Let us name the triangle as ABC where AB is the wall (opposite side) of 20 ft and \angle A is 30 degree (\theta) and AC is the length of the post.

To find: The length of the post (AC)

we know the formula, sin\theta=\frac{opp}{hyp} (trigonometric formula)

On substituting the values we get,

\Rightarrow sin(30^{\circ})=\frac{20}{AC}

The value of sin 30 degree is 0.5

\Rightarrow 0.5=\frac{20}{AC}\rightarrow AC=\frac{20}{0.5}\rightarrow AC=40 ft
