So you would multiply if it has the word of in the problem right?
It makes and obtuse right triangle.
We have to use the function A(t)= a(1 +/- r)^t
So A is going to be the answer- the area after 8 years. t is going to be 8, because t is time. a is 2400 because that's the starting value. Finally, we're going to turn 5.75% into it's decimal form of .0575. That's going to be r, and because the area is decreasing, we will subtract r from 1.
Our new function is:
A=2400(1-.0575)^8
Simplify a little bit.
A=2400(.9425)^8
Bring .9425 to to power of 8 and then multiply by 2400 because PEDMAS.
A=1494.38366866
The rounded answer is 1494 kilometers squared.
Answer:
22.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay so the situation given shows a right triangle with the two sides being 7.6 and 18.2. So we can find the angle of elevation using tangent, which is tan-1*7.6/18.2. I got 22.66 so 22.7
