The question describes a right triangle with hypotenuse as 9 and one of the angles as 75 degrees. We are looking for the length of the leg adjacent the given angle 75 degrees.

Recall that:

\cos{\theta}=\cfrac{adj}{hyp}\\ \\ \Rightarrow\cos75^o=\cfrac{x}{9}\\ \\ \Rightarrow x=9\cos75^o=9(0.2588)=2.3 ft.

Henry received $500 for his birthday which he intends to invest in an account that pays simple interest at the rate of 12% per y
Mila [183]

Answer:

$560

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Principal, P= $500

Interest rate, r = 12% per year

Amount in account after 1 year

Time = 1 year

Using the relation :

A = P(1 + rt)

A = final amount in account

A = $500(1 + 0.12(1))

A = $500(1 + 0.12)

A = $500(1.12)

A = $560

Sarah has two similar rectangular boxes. The dimensions of Box 1 are four times those of Box 2.
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

an area is always calculated by multiplying 2 dimensions.

when changing the dimensions, then the change factors for EACH dimension go into the calculation too.

therefore, when both dimensions of an area are enlarged 4 times, then the area is enlarged 4×4 = 16 times.

this just propagates to the whole surface area of an object, as each individual area of the overall surface area is enlarged by the same factor. and so, the sum of all the individual areas (= altogether the surface area of the object) is also enlarged in total by the same factor.

just think

16×a + 16×b + 16×c ... = 16×(a+b+c+...)
