Answer: The angle of depression is 18.3 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario is illustrated in the attached photo

A right angle triangle ABC is formed. The angle of depression, theta forms an alternate angle of # on the ground. To determine the angle, #, we would apply trigonometric ratio

Tan# = opposite side / adjacent side

Opposite side = BC = 10 feets

Adjacent side = AB = 30 feets

Tan # = 10/30 = 0.33

# = tan^-1(0.33)

# = 18.2629

Approximately 18.3 degrees

Since # is alternate to the angle of depression, it means that they are equal. So

The angle of depression is 18.3 degrees

 <span>P(t) = Po(1 - r)^t 

P(t) = price after t months --> S 
Po = initial price -- P 
r = rate as a decimal 

S = P(.9)^4 
-> = 100(.9)^4 
-> = 65.61 

(100 - 65.61)/100

HELP ME I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS :(
andriy [413]

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{AD}{WZ} = \frac{CD}{YZ} , substitute values

\frac{10}{46} = \frac{5}{YZ} ( cross- multiply )

10YZ = 230 ( divide both sides by 10 )

YZ = 23 → c
