Answer:

The horizontal distance between the parking lot and the launch site is 470 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----->  the horizontal distance between the parking lot and the launch site

we know that

The tangent of angle of 12 degrees is equal to divide the altitude of 100 meters by the horizontal distance

so

tan(12°)=100/x

Solve for x

x=100/tan(12°)=470 meters

On Planet Galactica, common units of distance are alpha, beta, and gamma. 4 gammas equal 5 betas. 2 betas equal 3 alphas. How ma
Ghella [55]

Answer:

1 gamma = 15/8 alphas

Step-by-step explanation:

so we start by finding out what 1 gamma and 1 beta equals.

we know 4 gammas = 5 betas so if we divide by four on both sides we get:

1 gamma = 5/4 betas. we can apply that same procedure to 2 betas = 3 alphas and get 1 beta = 3/2 alphas

we know that 1 gamma = 5/4 betas and 1 beta = 3/2 alphas so how many alphas = 5/4 betas? using a proportion of ((3/2)/1) = ((x)/(5/4)) we can find that 5/4 betas = 15/8 alphas

therefore we know 1 gamma = 15/8 alphas or 1 and 7/8 alphas

Safiya deposited money into a bank account that earned 6.5% simple interest each year. After 312 years, she had earned $36.40 in
Svetllana [295]

Answer: If the time is 3 1/2 years (most reasonable assumption)

Her initial deposit was $160

Step-by-step explanation:  The basic formula for simple interest is

<em>i = prt  i </em>is interest, P is principal (deposit) r is the percentage (converted to a decimal) and t is time, the number of years.

For this question, you have to rearrange the equation to solve for p.

So divide both sides by rt and you have

p =  i/rt

Substitute the values given

p = 36.40/(0.065)(3.5)
