The angle of elevation is 58 degrees

<em><u>Solution</u></em>:

Given that cell phone tower is 120 feet tall

The tower creates a 74 feet shadow

To find: angle of elevation of sun

The cell phone tower and base ( shadow) forms a right angled triangle

The figure is attached below

ABC is right angled triangle

AC = height of tower = 120 feet

AB = length of shadow = 74 feet

We have to find the angle of elevation

By definition of tan,

tan \theta = \frac{height}{base}\\\\tan \theta = \frac{AC}{AB}\\\\tan \theta = \frac{120}{74}\\\\tan \theta = 1.621\\\\\theta = tan^{-1}{1.621}\\\\\theta = 58.32 \approx 58

Thus angle of elevation is 58 degrees

Find the values of x:<br><br> I don’t understand how to do this please help
goblinko [34]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

11x - 34 and 7x - 2 are vertical angles and congruent, thus

11x - 34 = 7x - 2 ( subtract 7x from both sides )

4x - 34 = - 2 ( add 34 to both sides )

4x = 32 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 8

-----------------------

11x - 34 = 11(8) - 34 = 88 - 34 = 54

18y and 11x - 34 are adjacent angles and supplementary , thus

18y + 54 = 180 ( subtract 54 from both sides )

18y = 126 ( divide both sides by 18 )

y = 7

PLEASE HELP ME!!

Answer:

A = $10,441.68

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $10,400.00

I (interest) = $41.68

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 0.02/100

r = 0.0002 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 10,400.00(1 + 0.0002/2)(2)(20)

A = 10,400.00(1 + 0.0001)(40)

A = $10,441.68

Summary:

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $10,400.00 at a rate of 0.02% per year compounded 2 times per year over 20 years is $10,441.68.
