I think the answer is 1,161 feet

Sorry if that’s incorrect, but here’s the explanation in case you need it:

The tangent of a triangle is the opposite leg over the adjacent leg. 311 is the opposite leg, and X would be the adjacent leg. So 311 divided by x is equal to tan 15. If we rearrange this to be equal to X, X equals 311 divided by tan 15. Tan 15 is equal to 0.2679, so 311/0.2679 = 1,160.6. That amount rounds up to 1,161, giving you the answer of 1,161 feet.

Set each piece = to 56, assuming that the 2 variables for which you are not solving are each equal to 0.

7x -2(0)-14(0) = 56
7x=56 (divide each side by 7)
X = ?
(__, 0, 0)

7(0) - 2y - 14 (0) = 56
-2y = 56 (divide each side by -2)
Y= ?
(0, __ , 0)

7(0) - 2(0) - 14z = 56
-14z = 56 (divide each side by -14)
z = ?
(0, 0, __)

Rajesh invested $30,000 into an account that compounds interest monthly at a rate of 2.16%. He has made arrangements to withdraw

Bond [772]

By Evaluating the Compound Interest, we come to know that Rajesh will have enough money in the account to cover all of the required loan payments.

The Principal Amount(P) = $30,000

Rate of Interest (r) = 2.16 %

Time(t) = 10 years

Number of Times it is Compounded in a year(n) = 12

Now, we have

$A =P(1+\frac{r}{100n}) ^{nt}$

Putting all the values, we evaluate the amount,

$A =30,000(1+\frac{2.16}{100*12}) ^{12*10}\\\\A = 30,000 * 1.240\\A = 37,225.84$

Hence, the Amount after Compound Interest = $37,225.87

Now, The loan amount that he pays = 300 *12*10 = $ 36,000

Yes, he will have enough money in the account to cover all of the required loan payments.

Use decimals and fractions in the same equation showing the Commutative Property. Repeat for the Associative Property.

Anna71 [15]

For Commutative Property of Addition

Let us take a decimal number $2.14$ and a fraction $\frac{5}{20}$

Now, according to the Commutative property of Addition:

For any two numbers $a$ and $b$ :

$a+b = b+a$

So, for $2.14$ and $\frac{5}{20}$

Let us add

$2.14+\frac{5}{20} = \frac{214}{100} +\frac{5}{20}$

$=\frac{214}{100} + \frac{5 \times 5}{20 \times 5} \\ \\=\frac{214}{100} + \frac{25}{100} \\ \\= 2.14 + 0.25 \\ \\ = 2.39$

Also,

$\frac{5}{20} + 2.14 = \frac{5}{20} + \frac{214}{100}$

$= \frac{5 \times 5}{20 \times 5} +\frac{214}{100} \\ \\= \frac{25}{100} + \frac{214}{100} \\ \\= 0.25 + 2.14 \\ \\ = 2.39$

Therefore, $2.14+\frac{5}{20} = \frac{5}{20} + 2.14$

Hence, Commutative Property of Addition is satisfied.

For Associated Property of Addition

Let us take two same decimal numbers $2.14$ , $7.25$ and a fraction $\frac{5}{20}$

Now, according to the Associated property of Addition:

For any three numbers $a$ , $b$ and $c$

$a + (b+c) =(a+b) + c$

So, for $2.14$ , $7.25$ and $\frac{5}{20}$

The Left hand side:

$a + (b+c)$

$2.14 + (7.25 + \frac{5}{20}) = 2.14 + (\frac{725}{100} + \frac{5 \times 5}{20\times 5})$

$= 2.14 + (\frac{725}{100} + \frac{25 }{100})$

$= 2.14 + (\frac{750}{100} )$

$= \frac{214}{100} + \frac{750}{100}$

$= \frac{964}{100}$

$=9.64$

The Right hand side:

$(a + b )+c$

$(2.14 + 7.25 )+ \frac{5}{20}= ( 9.39 ) + \frac{5 }{20}$

$= 9.39 + \frac{5 \times 5 }{20 \times 5}$

$= 9.39 + \frac{25}{100}$

$= 9.39 + 0.25$

$= 9.64$

Thus,

$(2.14 + (7.25 + \frac{5}{20} )= (2.14 + 7.25 )+ \frac{5}{20}$

Therefore, $2.14+\frac{5}{20} = \frac{5}{20} + 2.14$

Hence, Associative Property of Addition is satisfied.
