Answer:
Approx 61.554 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are dealing with the opposite and adjacent sides, we will use tangent as our ratio.
Since the angle of elevation is 72 degrees, the left side of our equation is .
The right side of the equation is opposite over adjacent.
Set these equal to each other.
Simplify.
x is approximately 61.554.
Answer:
6 Years
Step-by-step explanation:
Orlando invests $1000 at 6% annual interest compounded daily.
Orlando's investment =
Bernadette invests $1000 at 7% simple interest.
Bernadette's investment = A = 1000(1+0.07×t)
By trail and error method we will use t = 5
Bernadette's investment will be after 5 years
1000(1 + 0.07 × 5)
= 1000(1 + 0.35)
= 1000 × 1.35
= $1350
Orlando's investment after 5 years
=
=
= 1000(1.349826)
= 1349.825527 ≈ $1349.83
After 5 years Orlando's investment will not be more than Bernadette's.
Therefore, when we use t = 6
After 6 years Orlando's investment will be = $1433.29
and Bernadette's investment will be = $1420
So, after 6 whole years Orlando's investment will be worth more than Bernadette's investment.
