Someone please help me with this question. I've been stuck on it for almost 40 minutes. Here's the question. Lauren was standing

on the lifeguard stand on the beach trying to find her sister. She spotted her at the water's edge at an angle of depression of 12 degrees. If the stand is 5 yards above the sand, how far down the beach is Lauren's sister? Round your answer to the nearest yard.

Answer:

24 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Treat x as the desired quantity.  This x is the side of the triangle adjacent to the lower 12 degree angle.  The side opposite this angle is 5 yds.  Using the definition of the tangent,

tan 12 degrees = opp / adj = 5 yds / x

Then x = (5 yds) / (tan 12 degrees), or x = (5 yds) / 0.213

Then x =  24 yds (to the nearest yd)

HYPOTENUSE RULE :

<h3>c =  \sqrt{ {a}^{2} +  {b}^{2}  }  \\  =  \sqrt{ {6}^{2} +  {8}^{2}  }  \\  = 10</h3>

So, third side is 10cm.

If 9 friends come then they all get 4 water balloons and 9 beads (36/9=4, 81/9=9)

The answer can't be D. 10 as 36/10 and 81/10 do not equal whole numbers and her friends can't have a fractional number of water balloons or beads

How much interest will you have to pay for a credit card balance of $1,034 that is 1 month overdue, if a 17% annual rate is char
frosja888 [35]

Ans. Since the annual rate is not compunded (for example, compounded monthly) you will have to pay in interest $27.41, and the total payment is $1,061.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the balance is 1 month overdue, it means that you owe 2 months of interest to this obligation, but before we start finding the interest of your credit card, first let´s find the effective monthly equivalent rate for that 17% annual interest rate.

The formula is as follows.

Therefore

So your monthly interest rate is 1.317%. Now let´s find the amount of interests that you have to pay for 2 months. This is the formula.

Where "n" is the period of time in months that you owe to the financial institution. The result of that is:

This way, interest are = $27.41 and the total amount that you will have to pay is:

<h2>Payment=Present Value+Interest=1,034+27.41=1,061.41 </h2>
