Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the board, 12 feet, will be the hypotenuse of the right triangle.  The measure of the distance from the board to the wall will be the unknown leg.  This is adjacent to the 60° angle.  This gives us the ratio

adjacent/hypotenuse, which is the ratio for cosine.  This gives us the equation

cos 60 = x/12

Multiply both sides by 12:

12(cos 60) = (x/12)(12)

12(cos 60) = x

6 = x

The board is 6 feet from the wall.

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :) Heather invests $4,900 in an account with a 3.5% interest rate, making no other deposits or withd
Alex

Answer:    $5,828.28

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Use the Compound Interest formula:     A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}       where

  • A is the accrued amount (balance)
  • P is the principal (initial amount invested)
  • r is the interest rate (in decimal form)
  • n is the number of times compounded each year
  • t is the time of the investment (in years)

Given: P = 4,900

           r = 3.5% (0.035)

           n = 2

           t = 5

A=4,900\bigg(1+\dfrac{0.035}{2}\bigg)^{2(5)}\\\\\\.\qquad = 4900(1.0175)^{10}\\\\\\.\qquad = \large\boxed{5,828.28}\\

solve systems of equation. equation number 1: 9 x squared + 4 y squared equals 144. equation 2: x squared plus y squared equals
grigory [225]
9x^{2} + 4y^{2} =144
x^{2} + y^{2}=24

9x^{2} + 4y^{2} =144
 4x^{2} + 4y^{2}=96
by the difference 
5x^{2}=48
so x=\sqrt{\frac{48}{5}} or x=-\sqrt{\frac{48}{5}}
and y^{2}=24-\frac{48}{5}
then y=\sqrt{\frac{72}{5}} or -\sqrt{\frac{48}{5}}
