A vertical pole, of height b, casts a shadow onto the ground. The angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow on the ground to

the top of the pole is θ=30∘, and the distance between the top of the pole and the tip of the shadow is 95 feet. Use the dimensions given to find the height b, in feet, of the pole. Do not include the units in your answer. Type your answer as a decimal.

Answer: b=47.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a Rigth triangle as the one attached, where "b" is the height in feet of the pole.

IFor this exercise you need to use the following Trigonometric Identity:

sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

In this case, you can identify that:

\theta=30\°\\\\opposite=b\\\\hypotenuse=95

Then, knowing these values, you can substitute them into sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}, as below:

sin(30\°)=\frac{b}{95}

Finally, you must solve for "b" in order to find its value. You get that this is:

95*sin(30\°)=b\\\\b=47.5

18,000 amounts to 21,600 in 4 years at simple interest. Find the sum of
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

\$20,400

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

A=P(1+rt)

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

step 1

Find the rate of interest

in this problem we have

t=4\ years\\ P=\$18,000\\ A=\$21,600\\r=?

substitute in the formula above and solve for r

\$21,600=\$18,000(1+4r)

1.2=(1+4r)

4r=1.2-1

r=0.2/4=0.05

The rate of interest is 5\%

step 2

Find the sum of  money that will amount to 25,500 in 5 years, at the same rate of interest

in this part we have

t=5\ years\\ P=?\\ A=\$25,500\\r=0.05

substitute in the formula above and solve for P

\$25,500=P(1+0.05*5)

P=\$25,500/(1.25)=\$20,400
