Answer:

h ≈ 30.10  ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Marie measures the angle of elevation from a point A to a tree as 34° . She works 10 ft directly towards the tree and discovered the new angle of elevation is 41°. The height of the tree can be computed below.

let

a = distance from point B to the tree

h = height of the tree

The right angle triangle formed from point B,  we can use tan to find the height of the tree.

tan 41°  = opposite /adjacent

tan 41° = h/a

cross multiply

h = a tan 41°

The right angle formed from point A

tan 34° = opposite/adjacent

tan 34° = h/(a + 10)

(a + 10)tan 34° = h

Therefore,

a tan 41° = (a + 10)tan 34°

0.8692867378

a =  0.6745085168(a + 10)

0.8692867378a = 0.6745085168a + 6.7450851684

collect like terms

0.8692867378a - 0.6745085168a = 6.7450851684

0.194778221a = 6.7450851684

a = 6.7450851684/0.194778221

a = 34. 629565532  ft

height of the tree can be find with

h = a tan 41°

h = 34. 629565532 × 0.8692867378

h =  30.103022053  ft

h = 30.10 ft

Find the value of each variable<br> x= <br> y=<br> z=
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A 45 degree angle in a right triangle produces 2 equal sides. In this case z and the perpendicular line are equal. So that's were we'll start. Then you move on to the 60 degree angle to get x and y.

Finding z

z^2 + z^2 = (24√2)                    Combine the left

2z^2 = 24^2 * 2                         Divide both sides by 2

2z^2/2 = 24^2/2

z^2 = 24^2                                 Take the square root of both sides

√z^2 = √24^2

z = 24

Finding x and y

The perpendicular = 24. Because it is a 60 degree angle that's given, we can do this without a calculator.

Tan 60 = opposite over adjacent

sqrt(3) = Perpendicular / z                      Multiply both sides by z

z*sqrt(3) = perpendicular

The above calculation tells us the perpendicular is 24

z*sqrt(3) = 24                                           Divide by sqrt 3

z = 24/√3

z = 24/1.73

z = 8√3

Finding x

Use Pythagoras to determine x

Perpendicular^2 + (8√3)^2 = x^2

24^2 + 8^2*3 = x^2

576 + 192 = x^2

768 = x^2

√x^2 = √768

x = 27.71

The Social Security Administration increased the taxable wage base from $106,800 to $110,100. The 6.2% tax rate is unchanged. Jo
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The Social Security Administration increased the taxable wage base from $106,800 to $110,100.

A:

The percent increase in the base =

\frac{110100-106800}{106800}\times100=3.09%

B:

Previous year tax = 0.062\times106800=6621.60 dollars

This year tax = 0.062\times110100=6826.20 dollars

Increase in tax = 6826.20-6621.60=204.60 dollars

Hence, Joe’s increase in Social Security tax for the new year is $204.60.
