Answer:
Edie has a better deal since his final price is lower
Step-by-step explanation:
Cousin Edie drank all of Clark's egg nog . Edie finds a coupon for 50 cents off that can only be use at a local grocery store.Clark normally buys his egg nog at the supermarket.
The tax rate at both stores is 2.25%.
Clark buys the egg nog at $5.95 plus tax .
Edie buys the egg nog at $6.35 plus coupon plus tax.
After Edie applies the coupon , the final price is $( 6.35 - 0.50 ) = $5.85
<u>Since the percentage of tax applied is the same, the deal with lower final price is better.</u>
Hence, Edie has a better deal.
Answer:
40 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Height of fence = 8 feets
Shadow of fence = 14.5 feets
Shadow of cell phone tower = 72.5 feets
Height of cell phone tower = x
Height of fence = shadow of fence
Height of tower = shadow of tower
8 feets= 14.5 feets
x feets = 72.5
Cross multiply :
(14.5 * x) = (72.5 * 8)
14.5x = 580 feets
x = 580/14.5
x = 40 feets
Hence, the height of the cell phone tower is 40 feets

Wow this is a doozy! First you have to figure out what is it you are looking for? If you make a dot in the center of the triangle (which is also the center of the circle) and draw a line from the center to one of the vertices of the triangle you have the radius of the triangle and also of the circle. If you draw all 3 radii from the triangle's center to its vertices, you see you have created 3 triangles within that one triangle. The trick here is to figure out what your triangle measures are as far as angles go. If we take the interior measures of those 3 triangles, we get that each one has a measure of 120 (360/3=120). So that's one of your angles, the one across from the side measuring 6. Because of the Isosceles Triangle theorem, we know that the 2 base angles have the same measure because the sides are the same. Subtracting 120 from 180 gives you 60 which, divided in half, makes each of those remaining angles measure 30 degrees. So if we extract that one triangle from the big one, we have a triangle with angles that measure 30-30-120, with the base measuring 6 and each of the other sides measuring 5. If we then split that triangle into 2 right triangles, we have one right triangle with measures 30-60-90. Dropping that altitude to create 2 right triangles not only split the 120 degree angle at the top in half, it also split the base side of 6 in half. So our right triangle has a base of 3 and we are looking for the hypotenuse of that right triangle. WE have to use right triangle trig for that. Since we have the top angle of 60 and the base of 3, we can use sin60=3/x. Solving for x we have x=3/sin60 which gives us an x value of 3.5 inches rounded from 3.464. I'm not sure what you mean by a mixed number unless you mean a decimal, but that's the radius of that circle.
