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

scoundrel [369]
<h3>After 6 weeks from now you will have $190 in your bank account</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

You have ​$55 in your bank account

Each week you deposit $8 from your allowance and $15 from your paycheck

<em><u>The equation that gives the amount b in your account after w weeks is:</u></em>

b = 55 + (15 + 8)w

<em><u>How many weeks from now will you have $190 in your bank account ?</u></em>

b = 190

w = ?

Therefore,

190 = 55 + (15 + 8) w

190 = 55 + 23w

23w = 190 - 55

23w = 135

Divide both sides by 23

w = 5.869 \approx 6

Thus after 6 weeks from now you will have $190 in your bank account

Find the radius of a circle in which the central angle, a, intercepts an arc of the given length
Nataly [62]

Answer:

17.2 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for arc length is s = rФ.  Here we are to find r.  Solving this formula for r, we get:

r = s/Ф

So, in this problem, r = (9 in) / (π/6) = 54/π in ≈ 17.2 in
