Answer:

a = √11 and b = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to attached picture for reference

for an right triangle with angle θ

we are given

cos θ = 5/6 = length of adjacent side / length of hypotenuse

hence

adjacent length = 5 units

hypotenuse length = 6 units

the missing side is the "opposite" length which we can find with the Pythagorean equation. in our case:

hypotenuse ² = adjacent ² + opposite²   (rearrange)

opposite ² = hypotenuse ² - adjacent ²

opposite ² = 6² - 5²

opposite = √ (6²-5²) = √11

sin θ = opposite length / hypotenuse  (substitute values above)

sin θ = √11 / 6

hence a = √11 and b = 6

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

YTM = 5.45%

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the yield to maturity.

Mathematically;

Annual coupon=1000*4.3%=43

YTM=[Annual coupon+(Face value-Present value)/time to maturity]/(Face value+Present value)/2

=[43+(1000-870)/18]/(1000+870)2

=5.45%

What is the approximate distance between the points (-2, 3, -5) and (2, -7, 4)?
tatiyna
To approximate the distance of points with three dimension, make use of the equation,

                           d = sqrt ((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 +(z2 - z1)^2)

Substituting all the data from the points given, 
                       
                    <span>d = sqrt ((2 - -2)^2 + (-7 - 3)^2 +(4 - -5)^2) = sqrt 197
</span>
Thus, the distance from the points is approximately 14.04 and that is letter D.

Cost of a sled:$99.50<br> Markup:95%<br> find the selling price
Degger [83]
Take wholesale cost and multiply it by 95%, then add to the original value
another way, just multiply by 1.95

Retail cost:  1.95*($99.50) = $194.03
