<h2>Answer:</h2>

\boxed{\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})+65}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<em>The height of the rider from the ground after the Ferris wheel</em> equals <em>the starting point is 15 feet off the ground </em><em>plus </em><em>the radius of the Ferris wheel </em><em>plus </em><em>the opposite side of the triangle ΔABC </em>(See figure below).<em> </em>Hence our goal is to find this side. We have the angle 11\pi /2=165^{\circ}, therefore the angle ∠BAC = 165° - 90° = 75°. So this side can be found using trigonometry:

\overline{BC}=\overline{AB}sin(75^{\circ})=50sin(75^{\circ})=\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})

Finally, the height is:

H=\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})+15+50 \\ \\ \boxed{H=\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})+65}

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

40-16=24

24/40=0.6

0.6*100=60

First, work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing.

Decrease = Original Number - New Number

Next, divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

% Decrease = Decrease ÷ Original Number × 100

ok so divide 1500 by 250 to determine how many boxes you need to by in 1 year

so that equals 6 then you multiply that by $30 to find the total cost of all the diapers per year so the is $180 per year and then multiply that by 3 to find the cost of all 3 years

So the answer is you will spend $540 in total
