Answer:

22,999 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the solution diagram attached,

The altitude, h of the plane can be solved using trigonometry :

Using :

Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus

Opposite = h

Hypotenus = 47440

Sin 29 = h / 47440

h = 47440 * sin29

h = 22999.368

h = 22,999 feets

Debra plans to invest $2,250 for 10 years. She can invest in a savings account that pays 4% simple intrest or a savings account

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

$\$180.55$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Simple interest

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

$A=P(1+rt)$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

$t=10\ years\\ P=\$2,250\\r=4\%=4/100=0.04$

substitute in the formula above

$A=2,250(1+0.04*10)$

$A=2,250(1.4)$

$A=\$3,150$

step 2

Interest compounded annually

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to

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

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have

$t=10\ years\\ P=\$2,250\\r=4\%=4/100=0.04\\n=1$

substitute in the formula above

$A=2,250(1+\frac{0.04}{1})^{1*10}$

$A=2,250(1.04)^{10}$

$A=\$3,330.55$

step 3

Find the differences between the two final amounts

$A=\$3,330.55-\$3,150=\$180.55$
