Answer:

height of the flagpole = 93.26 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration  forms a right angle triangle. The angle of elevation from his eyes to the flag is 25° . The distance from his eyes at the ground to the base of the flagpole is 200 ft.

The adjacent side of the triangle formed is the distance of his eyes from the flagpole. The height of the flagpole is the opposite side of the right angle triangle formed.

using tangential ratio

tan 25° = opposite/adjacent

tan 25° = x/200

cross multiply

200 tan 25° = x

x = 200 × 0.46630765815

x = 93.261531631

x = 93.26 ft

height of the flagpole = 93.26 ft

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

First Question = 16 Second Question = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

First one

32+48=x(2+3)

80=5x

Divide each sides with 5 and you have x=16

Second one

32+48=4(x+12)

80=4x+48

subtract 48 from 48 and 80 and you have 32=4x.

Divide it with 4 both side and you have x=8

Nathan just bought a car. He models the value, V, in dollars, of the car after t years as V(t)=21,000(0.861)^t. Based on this mo
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Value of the car is decreasing by 13.9% each year.

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation tells us V(t) is the value of the car after a certain time in years, $21,000 is the initial value of the car.  What we need to focus on is on the 0.861 part of this equation.  This means that the price of the car is worth 0.861 or 86.1% of what it was worth the year prior, this means that the price of the car is decreasing over time.  By how much is it decreasing? Well if we consider 1 to mean 100% (since 100 / 100 =1) then we have 100%-86.1%=13.9%.  This means that the value of the car is decreasing 13.9% each year.
