Is the question - did they mistakenly say "dollar" rather than "years?"

x = # of years

10,000 = 20,000 (0.85)^x, first divide both sides by 20,000
0.5 = (0.85)^x,  next take the ln of both sides
ln 0.5 = ln (0.85)^x,  by rules of logarithms you may move x to make it a coefficient of the logarithm
ln 0.5 = x (ln 0.85),  divide both sides by ln (0.85)
x = (ln 0.5)/ (ln 0.85) = (-0.693)/(-0.1625) = 4.26 years

Alex drew two lines and two transversals. He wants to know the measures of angles 1, 2, and 3. Identify the measure of each angl
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

m 1 = 45 degrees because 1 and the angle measuring 135 degrees are supplementary angles.

m 2 = 95 degrees because 2 and the angle measuring 95 degrees are vertical angles.

m 3 = 40 degrees because 1, 2, and 3 form a triangle

Find the area of the equilateral triangle.if its perimeter is 24cm​
mezya [45]

Answer:

16√3 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of its all three sides. Since this is an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal.

Let's consider one side of the triangle to be 'x'

Givent that, the perimeter is 24cm,

The equation should be x + x + x = 24

⇒3x = 24

∴ x = 8 cm

To find the area of the triangle, we need to find the height, and for that, we can use trigonometry.

Since it is an equilateral triangle, all angles are exact 60°.

let's draw a line and mark it as 'h'.

we can use sine formula to find out the opposite i.e. h

sin∅ = opposite ÷ hypotaneous

sin 60° = h ÷ 8

h = 8 sin 60°

h= 4√3

Now, let's find the area

Area = 1/2 × base × height

Area = 1/2 × 8 × 4√3

area= 16√3 cm²

Find all solutions for a triangle with B=36 degrees, b=19, and c=36. Round to the nearest tenth.
lawyer [7]

we know that

Applying the law of sines

b/sin B=c/sin C-------> solve for sin C

sin C=(c/b)*sin B-----> sin C=(36/19)*sin 36

sin C=1.1137-------> the value of the sines can not be greater than 1

The side lengths and angle given cannot be used to create a triangle

therefore


with the given values ​​there is no solution to form some triangle

Solve for w.<br> 3w = 3.84
Katen [24]

Answer:

w = 1.28.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 'w', simply divide the answer by the coefficient.

3.84/3=1.28

w=1.28

REMEMBER: ANYTIME YOU SEE A COEFFICIENT AND A VARIABLE, YOU MUST MULTIPLY THE COEFFICIENT AND THE VARIABLE.

We can check our answer by multiplying.

3*1.28 = 3.84.

Therefore, w = 1.28.
