1 answer:
Answer:
# m∠A = 65.3°
# m∠A = 25.8°
# m∠A = 22.7°
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets revise the trigonometry function to solve the problem
- In any right angle triangle:
# The side opposite to the right angle is called the hypotenuse
# The other two sides are called the legs of the right angle
* If the name of the triangle is ABC, where B is the right angle
∴ The hypotenuse is AC
∴ AB and BC are the legs of the right angle
- ∠A and ∠C are two acute angles
- For angle A
# sin(A) = opposite/hypotenuse
∵ The opposite to ∠A is BC
∵ The hypotenuse is AC
∴ sin(A) = BC/AC
# cos(A) = adjacent/hypotenuse
∵ The adjacent to ∠A is AB
∵ The hypotenuse is AC
∴ cos(A) = AB/AC
# tan(A) = opposite/adjacent
∵ The opposite to ∠A is BC
∵ The adjacent to ∠A is AB
∴ tan(A) = BC/AB
* Lets solve the problems
# In Δ ABC
∵ m∠B = 90°
∵ AB = 2.3 ⇒ adjacent to angle A
∵ BC = 5 ⇒ apposite to angle A
- To find m∠A use the tangent function because we have opposite
and adjacent sides
∴ tan A = BC/AB
∴ tan A = 5/2.3 ⇒ use tan^-1 to find m∠A
∴ m∠A =
* m∠A = 65.3°
# In Δ ABD
∵ m∠B = 90°
∵ AB = 5.4 ⇒ adjacent to angle A
∵ DA = 6 ⇒ the hypotenuse
- To find m∠A use the cosine function because we have adjacent
and hypotenuse sides
∴ cos A = AB/DA
∴ cos A = 5.4/6 ⇒ use cos^-1 to find m∠A
∴ m∠A =
* m∠A = 25.8°
# In Δ ABE
∵ m∠B = 90°
∵ EB = 2.4 ⇒ opposite to angle A
∵ EA = 6.8 ⇒ the hypotenuse
- To find m∠A use the sine function because we have opposite
and hypotenuse sides
∴ sin A = EB/EA
∴ sin A = 2.4/6.8 ⇒ use sin^-1 to find m∠A
∴ m∠A =
* m∠A = 22.7°

To see how much interest she'll get after a quarter:
$4132.79 + ($4132.79 × 0.048) = $4331.16
After two quarters:
$4331.16 + ($4331.16 × 0.048) = $4359.06
You can keep going until eventually reaching $8000 then see how many quarters has passed. That's a lot of calculator work!
There's another way that uses less calculation, but more algebra. I call it the exponential formula method! There's this general formula for stuff that increases exponentially, like virus, population, and MONEY:
M is money, d is deposit, t is time taken, and c is just some unknown constant related to the interest rate. There's also the natural logarithm form of this equation, which will come in handy later:
Alright first we gotta find that constant c for this equation to be useful! Let's plug in stuff we know.
We know how much she'll have after one quarter (0.25 years), and we know how much she deposited initially.
After pressing some buttons on the calculator we'll find that c = 0.1875.
Great! Now we can use that formula to find how many years (t) it'll take to reach M=$8000. To save time I'm going to use the natural log form:
That will give us t = 3.522 which means it'll take approximately 3.5 years for her deposit to reach $8000!
