aee the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

tan(78^o)=\frac{AB}{BC} ----> by TOA (oppsoite side divided by the adjacent side)

substitute the given values

tan(78^o)=\frac{h}{118}

solve for h

h=tan(78^o)(118)=555\ ft

One estimate of the population of the world on January 1, 2005, is
inn [45]

Answer:

8,566,379,470 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start simple.  In order to find the population increase on January 1, 2006, we need to multiply 6,486,915,022 by 1.4% and add it to 6,486,915,022.

  1. 6,486,915,022*1.4% = 90,816,810.308
  2. 90,816,810.308+6,486,915,022 = 6,577,731,832.31 people on January 2006.

Note that the above two steps gives the same answer as 6,486,915,022*1.014.

So we need to do this for each year.  20 years pass between 1/1/2005 and 1/1/2025.  

We need to do 6,486,915,022*1.014*1.014*1.014... 20 times.

This is equivalent to 6,486,915,022*1.014^{20}.

Multiplying it out gives us 8566379470.2 = 8,566,379,470 people.
