Answer:

ZM = 8

WM = 12

XZ = 7

XN = 21

LZ = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The centroid of a triangle is the point of intersection of the midpoint of the each of the three sides of a triangle. The centroid of a triangle is located inside the triangle and it is known as the center of gravity.

The centroid theorem for a triangle states that the centroid of a triangle is located at 2/3 of the distance from the vertex of the triangle of the middle of the opposite side.

ZM = (2/3)WM (centroid theorem)

Therefore: WZ = (1/3)WM

WM = 3WZ = 3 * 4 = 12

ZM = (2/3) * WM = 2/3 * 12 = 8

ZN = (2/3)XN (centroid theorem)

XN = (3/2)ZN = 3/2 * 14 = 21

XN = 21

XZ + ZN = XN

XZ + 14 = 21

XZ = 7

LZ = (2/3)LY (centroid theorem)

Therefore: ZY = (1/3)LY

LY = 3ZY = 3 * 10 = 30

LZ = (2/3) * LY = 2/3 * 30 = 20

A gold mine is projected to produce $52,000 during its first year of operation, $50,000 the second year, $48,000 the third year,

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

its present worth is nearest to 483,566

Option d) 483,566 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

gold mine is projected to produce $52,000 during its first year

produce $50,000 the second year

produce $48,000 the third year

the mine is expected to produce for 20yrs; i.e n = 20

annual interest rate = 4% = 0.04%

now let P represent the present worth

we determine the present worth ;

Present worth ⇒ Cashflow(Uniform series present worth) - (2000)(uniform gradient present worth)

⇒Cashflow(P | A,i%,n) - (2000)(P | G,i%,n)

= 52000[ ((1+i)ⁿ - 1) / (i(1+i)ⁿ) ] - (2000)[ {((1+i)ⁿ - 1) / (i²(1+i)ⁿ))} - (n/i(1 + i)ⁿ) ]

= 52000[ ((1+0.04)²⁰ - 1) / (0.04(1+0.04)²⁰) ] - (2000)[ {((1+0.04)20 - 1) / ((0.04)²(1+0.04)²⁰))} - (20/0.04(1 + 0.04)²⁰) ]

= 52000[ ((1.04)²⁰ - 1) / (0.04(1.04)²⁰) ] - (2000)[ {((1.04)²⁰ - 1) / ((0.04)²(1.04)²⁰))} - (20/0.04(1.04)²⁰) ]

= 52000[ ((2.191123 - 1) / (0.04(2.191123) ] - (2000)[ {((2.191123 - 1) / ((0.0016)(2.191123))} - (20/0.04(2.191123) ]

= 52000(1.191123/0.08764) - (2000){( 1.191123/0.003506) - (20/0.87645)}

= 52000(13.59033) - (2000)(339.7582 - 228.1935)

= 52000(13.59033) - (2000)(111.5647)

= 706695.6 - 223129.4

= 483,566.2 ≈ 483,566

Therefore its present worth is nearest to 483,566

Option d) 483,566 is the correct answer

Frank stands 450 feet from the base of the Statue of Liberty. If the Statue of Liberty is 306 feet tall, what is the angle of de

Lelu [443]

<span>For the answer to the question above, We have a right angled triangle with an opposite of 300.5 ft. (306 - 5.5) and an adjacent of 400 ft. Recalling SOH CAH TOA, tanθ = O/A.
tan(θ) = 300.5/400.
θ = tan^-1(300.5/400).
So the answer is
θ = 36.9°.
I hope my answer helped you.</span>
