Scarlett is trying to find the height of a dam. She stands 90 meters away from the dam and records the angle of elevation to the

top of the dam to be 26º. Scarlett's height is 1.65 meters, so the height of the dam is meters. NextReset

The height of a dam:
h = x + 1.65 m,
where:
x = 90 m · tan 26°
x = 90 · 0.4877
x = 43.90
h = 43.90 m + 1.65 m = 45.55 m
Answer: 
The height of the dam is 45.5 m.

Answer:

The height of dam =45.5 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Scarlett stands 90 m away from the dam and records the angle of elevation to the top of the dam to be 26^{\circ}p

Scarelett's height is 1.65 meters.

We have to find the height of the dam.

Let h be the height of dam

AC=AB+BC

BC=x

h=1.65+x

CD=EB=90 m

In triangle ABE

\theta=26^{\circ}

tan\theta=\frac{perpendicular\;side}{Base}

tan26^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{90}

0.4877=\frac{x}{90}

x=0.4877\times 90

x=43.893 m

Therefore, the height of dam=1.65+43.893=45.543 m

Answer: The height of dam =45.5 m

A catering service offers 4 appetizers, 10 main courses, and 9 desserts. A banquet chairperson is to select 3 appetizers, 8 main
antoniya [11.8K]
Answer: 15120

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

Work Shown:

There are 4 appetizers total. We want to select 3 of them. Order doesn't matter. 
Use the nCr formula with n = 4 and r = 3
n C r = (n!)/(r!*(n-r)!)
4 C 3 = (4!)/(3!*(4-3)!)
4 C 3 = (4!)/(3!*1!)
4 C 3 = (4*3!)/(3!*1!)
4 C 3 = (4)/(1!)
4 C 3 = (4)/(1)
4 C 3 = 4/1
4 C 3 = 4
There are 4 ways to select just the appetizers
Call this value M = 4 (we'll use it later)
----------------------------
There are 10 main courses total. We want to select 8 of them. Order doesn't matter. 
Use the nCr formula with n = 10 and r = 8
n C r = (n!)/(r!*(n-r)!)
10 C 8 = (10!)/(8!*(10-8)!)
10 C 8 = (10!)/(8!*2!)
10 C 8 = (10*9*8!)/(8!*2!)
10 C 8 = (10*9)/(2!)
10 C 8 = (10*9)/(2*1)
10 C 8 = 90/2
10 C 8 = 45
There are 45 ways to select just the main courses
Call this value N = 45 (we'll use it later)
----------------------------
There are 9 desserts total. We want to select 3 of them. Order doesn't matter. 
Use the nCr formula with n =9 and r = 3
n C r = (n!)/(r!*(n-r)!)
9 C 3 = (9!)/(3!*(9-3)!)
9 C 3 = (9!)/(3!*6!)
9 C 3 = (9*8*7*6!)/(3!*6!)
9 C 3 = (9*8*7)/(3!)
9 C 3 = (9*8*7)/(3*2*1)
9 C 3 = 504/6
9 C 3 = 84 
There are 84 ways to select just the desserts
Call this value P = 84 (we'll use it later)
----------------------------
Multiply the results from earlier:
M*N*P = 4*45*84 = 15120 which is the final result.

Isabel stacked two wooden blocks as shown. What is the total volume of the stacked blocks?
Kobotan [32]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  156 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of any prism is the product of the base area and the height of the prism. Here, we can take the "base" to be the front face of the assembly, and its "height" to be the 3 cm distance between the front and back faces.

The front face area is the sum of the triangle area and the rectangle area.

  A = 1/2bh + LW

  A = (1/2)(10 cm)(4 cm) + (16 cm)(2 cm) = 52 cm²

Then the volume is ...

  V = Bh = (52 cm²)(3 cm) = 156 cm³ . . . . total volume of the two blocks

Suppose you have $10,000 to invest. Which investment yields the greater return over 7 years: 6.6% compounded monthly or 6.7% com
joja [24]

Answer:

C) $10,000 invested at 6.7% compounded quarterly over 7 years yields the greater return.

Step-by-step explanation:

-We determine the effective interest rate in both scenarios and use it to calculate the investment's value after 7 years.

#Given n=7yrs, P=$10,000 and i=6.6% compounded monthly:

i_m=(1+i/m)^m-1\\\\=(1+0.066/12)^{12}-1=0.06803\\\\\therefore A=P(1+i_m)^n\\\\=10000(1.06803)^7\\\\\approx \$15,852.00

#Given n=7rs, P=10000, i=6.7%

i_m=(1+i/m)^m-1\\\\=(1+0.067/4)^{4}-1=0.06870\\\\\therefore A=P(1+i_m)^n\\\\=10000(1.06870)^7\\\\\approx \$15,921.75

Hence, the investment has the largest value($15,921.75) when the interest rate is compounded quarterly.
