From the right triangle formed, the adjacent side to the angle of elevation is 5 miles and the vertical change in elevation is the opposite side. From the trigonometric function, tangent of an angle,
                             tan 12° = x / 5 miles
The value of x from the equation is 1.06 miles. Thus, the vertical change in elevation is 1.06 miles.

Hhhheeeeellllllpppp no 13 and 14​
laila [671]

Answer:

13. B. 24 cm²

14. y = 5⅝ (none of the options is correct)

Step-by-step explanation:

13. The figure is a trapezoid

Area of the trapezoid = ½(a + b)h

Where,

a = 3 cm

b = 5 cm

h = 6 cm

Area = ½(3 + 5)6

= ½(8)6

= 4*6

= 24 cm²

14. Area of the triangle = ½*b*h

The area is given to be 45 cm²

base (b) = 16 cm

height (h) = y

Plug in the values and solve for y

45 = ½*16*y

45 = 8y

Divide both sides by 8

45/8 = 8y/8

45/8 = y

5⅝ = y

y = 5⅝ (none of the options is correct)

Question 12 helllllllppppp plazzzzzzz
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It says Renita takes minutes to ride half a mile.

She leaves 30 minutes before school.

Total distance is

               2\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{2}\\

In

2\frac{1}{2} \ there \ are \ 5 \ times  \  \frac{1}{2} \ mile .\\

Therefore total time to reach school will be  5 x 5 = 25minutes.

Since she leaves 30minutes before school. She will reach 5minutes early before school.

Explain how to find simple interest
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Simple interest is calculated by multiplying the daily interest rate by the principal, by the number of days that elapse between payments.

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal x rate x time = interest.

$100 x .05 x 1 = $5 simple interest for one year.

$100 x .05 x 3 = $15 simple interest for three years.
