Answer: The top of the Crane is 31 feet above the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

When it is fully extended, the crane arm forms a 30 degree angle with a line parallel to the ground. This means that a right angle triangle is formed. The length of the Crane's arm represents the hypotenuse. The horizontal distance represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle. The distance, h of the top of the Crane from the ground represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine h, we would apply

the Sine trigonometric ratio.

Sin θ, = opposite side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Sin 30 = h/62

h = 62Sin30

h = 62 × 0.5

h = 31 feet

The average price of a gallon of milk is $3.31. If the price increases .88% each year , how much will a gallon of milk cost in 2
musickatia [10]

Answer:

$3.94

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need to use the compound interest formula for this.

P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

P = initial balance

r = interest rate

n = number of times compounded annually

t = time

Your equation will look like this:

3.31(1+\frac{.0088}{1} )^{20} = 3.94

Solve for θ if sinθ = 0.45. Round answer to the nearest degree.
marysya [2.9K]
If you look in a table of sines, you find that sin(θ) = 0.45 corresponds to an angle of about 26°45', so is nearest to 27°.
