In March, a family starts saving for a vacation they are planning for the end of August. The family expects the vacation to cost

$1370. They start with $125 at the start of each month they plan to deposit 20% more than the previous month. Will they have enough money for their trip? If not, how much more do they need?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The savings for each month is increasing by 20%. It means that it is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence is expressed as

Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)

Where

n represents the number of terms(months) in the sequence.

a represents the first term in the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

From the information given,

a = $125

r = 1 + 20/100 = 1.2

From March to August, it is 5 months. Thus,

n = 5 months

Therefore, the sum of the first 8

5 terms(months), S5 is

S5 = (125 × 1.2^(5) - 1)/1.2 - 1

S5 = (125 × 1.48832)/0.2

S5 = 186.04/0.2

S5 = $930.2

They won't have enough money for the trip.

The additional amount of money that they need is

1370 - 930.2 = $439.8

Clevon forms a triangle with three straws measuring 20, 25, and 18 inches. To the nearest whole
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's label this triangle as triangle ABC.  Side AB is 18, side BC is 20 and side CA is 25 and the angle we are looking for is angle C.  Use the Law of Cosines to find the missing angle.  You have to use the Law of Cosines because in order to use the Law of Sines you have to have an angle given and we don't so we have no other options.  In our case,

c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcosC which for us looks like this:

18^2=20^2+25^2-2(20)(25)cosC and

324=400+625-1000cosC and

324=1025-1000cosC and

-701=-1000cosC and

.701=cosC

Use the 2nd button and the cos button to find the missing angle.

Angle C = 45.4 which is, rounded to the nearest degree, 45°
