Answer:

The cost of the desk is 124 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

irst, change this into an equation

tax=1/16x-.31


x equals the cost of the desk without tax:

x+tax=131.44

tax=131.44-x


Set the first equation equal to the second:

1/16x-.31=131.44-x


Solve for x:

17/16x=131.75

x=$124


Hope that helps

A tree is leaning at a 5° angle from vertical, making an 85° angle with the ground. When the sun is at a 65° angle of elevation,
Vinvika [58]
D = 25 ft is the length of a shadow. L -  the length of a tree.
Two angles are 85° and 65° and the third is 180° - ( 65° + 85° ) =
= 180° - 150° = 30°.
We will use the Sine Law:
25 / sin 30° = L / sin 65°
25 / 0.5 = L / 0.9063
25 * 0.9063 = 0.5 L
22.6577 = 0.5 L
L = 22.6577 : 0.5
L = 45.3 ft.
Answer: the approximate length of the tree is 45.3 ft.

What is the magnitude of force required to accelerate a car
Drupady [299]

Answer:

8.71 x 10^3N - C

Step-by-step explanation:

Force = mass x acceleration

mass = 1.7 x 10^3 and acceleration = 4.75m/s^2

Force = 1.7 x 10^3 x 4.75 = 8075N = 8.71 x 10^3N

20 ÷ 7 = 2.86
2 digit:
