Answer:

16m tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance casted by the shadow = 32m = hypotenuse

Angle of elevation = 30 degrees

Required

Height of the building = opposite

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

sin theta = opp/hyp

sin 30 = x/32

0.5 = x/32

x = 0.5 * 32

x = 16m

Hence the building is 16m tall

What is the value of x in the following system?<br> y = 3x - 5<br> 6x + 3y = 15
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the process of substitution to do this.

<em>1. put </em><em>both</em><em> equations into </em><em>slope-intercept form:</em>

y = 3x -  5

y = -2x + 5

<em>2. since they </em><em>both equal y</em><em>, they must </em><em>equal each other:</em>

3x - 5 =  -2x + 5

<em>3. </em><em>simplify:</em>

2 = x

Find the savings plan balance after 18 months with an APR of 6% and monthly payments of $800. Assume an ordinary annuity.
jok3333 [9.3K]

The formula for this calculation is Future Value = Payment • [((1 + I)n - 1)/I], where I = interest rate, and n = periods.

 

In this case, P = $800/month, n = 18 months, and I = 6% (0.06) per year.

 

Since the information involves months instead of years, it is necessary to divide the interest rate by 12 to obtain the monthly rate. So, 0.06 ÷ 12 = 0.005

 

We can then enter the information into our formula to obtain:

FV = $800 • [((1.005)18 - 1)/.005]

FV = $800 • [(1.0939 - 1)/.005]

FV =$800 • (0.0939/0.005)

FV = $800 • 18.785

FV ≅ $15,028
