A flag is perpendicular to its shadow =>
$\frac{7}{8.2} = \frac{x}{20.5}$
=> x = 17.5 m

kali runs 12 laps around a track each day. Each lap around the track is 400 meters. How many days will it take Kali to run the t

Liula [17]

Answer: 2.5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

First we should convert 12 kilometers to meters so that is 12000 meter. Now we know that she runs 12 laps each day and each lap is 400 meters so lets find out how much she runs in one day. 12 laps*400meters= 4800 meters

So an easy way to figure out how many days is to divide 4800 meters she runs each day from the total 12,000 meters she needs to run so 12,000/400=2.5.

It will take kali a total of 2.5 ( two and a half days) to run 12000 meters or 12 kilometers

Find the circumference and the area of a circle that has a diameter of 8.4 meters.

Lerok [7]

To find the circumference of a circle, simply multiply the diameter by pi.
The answer (depending on how you teacher wants it) is either 8.4 $\pi$ or 26.39.

You teacher most likely wants to see 26.39 as the diameter

The area can be found by squaring the radius and multiplying it by pi.
The radius is 4.2, so...
$4.2^{2} * \pi ...............

$
$17.64 * \pi...............$
The area is 55.39

Suppose that $18,000 is invested in a bond fund and the account grows to $23,344.74 in 5 yr.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

a. 5.2%

b. 9.8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Put the given numbers in the formula and solve for r.

... 23,344.74 = 18,000×e^(r·5)

... 23,344.74/18,000 = e^(5r) . . . . . divide by 18000

... ln(1.29693) = 5r . . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the natural logarithm

... 0.26/5 = r = 0.052 = 5.2% . . . . . divide by 5

The rate of return is 5.2%, compounded continuously.

b. Put the given numbers in the formula and solve for t.

... 30,000 = 18,000×e^(0.052t)

... 30,000/18,000 = e^(0.052t) . . . . . divide by 18,000

... ln(5/3) = 0.052t . . . . . . take the natural log

... 0.510826/0.052 = t = 9.8 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

It will take 9.8 years for the investment to reach $30,000.
