Let DE, the height of mount Everest be x.

The center of the earth (point C), the horizont vanishing point (point H) and the top of mount Everest (point E) form a right triangle, where:
 
the hypothenuse is |EC|=|ED|+|DC|=x+4000              (DC is a radius)
|HC|=4000 mi
|HE|=210 mi

by the Pythagorean theorem:

 (x+4000)^{2}= 4000^{2} + 210^{2}

(x+4000)^{2}=16000000+44100=16044100

taking the square roots of both sides we get:

x+4000=+- \sqrt{16044100} =+-4005.5087

so x=-4000+4005.5087  miles = 5.5087  miles   
or x= -4000-4005.5  which is negative so not a solution to our problem



Answer: 5.5087  miles

Answer: it will take 14 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A savings account is started with an initial deposit of $600. This means that the principal P is

P = 600

It was compounded annually. This means that it was compounded once in a year. Therefore,

n = 1

The rate at which the principal was compounded is 2.1%. So

r = 2.1/100 = 0.021

The duration of time that for which the money stayed in the account is t years. So

Time = t

The formula for compound interest is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years. Therefore,

a) the equation to represent the amount of money in the account as a function of time in years would be

A = 600 (1+0.021/1)^1×t

A = 600 (1.021)^t

b) the amount of time it takes for the account balance to reach $800 would be

800 = 600 (1.021)^t

Dividing both sides of the equation by 600, it becomes

1.33 = (1.021)^t

t = 14

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

a right angle

Step-by-step explanation:

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the second choice "a right angle"The formula for finding the slope of a line on a coordinate plane is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x2, y2) and (x1, y1) represent two distinct points on the line. This is also known as "change in y over change in x" or "rise over run."I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
