Answer:

59°

58.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the full question :

A ladder is placed 30 inches from a wall. It touches the wall at a height of 50 inches from the ground. The angle made by the ladder with the ground is degrees, and the length of the ladder is inches.

Please check the attached image for a diagram explaining this question

The angle the ladder makes with the ground is labelled x in the diagram

To find the value of x given the opposite and adjacent lengths, use tan

tan⁻¹ (opposite / adjacent)

tan⁻¹  (50 / 30)

tan⁻¹ 1.667

= 59°

the length of the ladder can be determined using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c =  hypotenuse

√(50² + 30²)

√(2500 + 900)

√3400

= 58.3 inches

Answer:

59.04°

58.31 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution triangle is attached below :

Since we have a right angled triangle, we can apply trigonometry to obtain the angle ladder makes with the ground;

Let the angle = θ

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Tanθ = 50/30

θ = tan^-1(50/30)

θ = 59.036°

θ = 59.04°

The length of ladder can be obtained using Pythagoras :

Length of ladder is the hypotenus :

Hence,

Hypotenus = √(adjacent² + opposite²)

Hypotenus = √(50² + 30²)

Hypotenus = √(2500 + 900)

Hypotenus = 58.309

Length of ladder = 58.31 inches

You saved $20,000.00 and want to diversify your monies. You invest 45% in a Treasury bond for 3 years at 4.35% APR compounded an
Maru [420]

Compound Interest

A total of $20,000 is invested in different assets.

45% is invested in a Treasury bond for 3 years at 4.35 APR compounded annually.

For this investment, the principal is P = 0.45*$20,000 = $9,000.

The compounding period is yearly, thus the interest rate is:

i = 4.35 / 100 = 0.0435

The duration (in periods) is n = 3

Calculate the final value with the formula:

M=P_{}(1+i)^n

Substituting:

\begin{gathered} M=\$9,000_{}(1+0.0435)^3 \\ M=\$9,000\cdot1.136259062875 \\ M=\$10,226.33 \end{gathered}

The second investment is a CD at 3.75% APR for 3 years compounded annually. The parameters for the calculations are as follows:

P = 15% of $20,000 = $3,000

i = 3.75 / 100 = 0.0375

n = 3

Calculating:

\begin{gathered} M=\$3,000_{}(1+0.0375)^3 \\ M=\$3,000\cdot1.116771484375 \\ M=\$3,350.31 \end{gathered}

The third investment is in a stock plan. The initial value of the investment is

P = 20% of $20,000 = $4,000

By the end of the first year, the stock plan increased by 8%, thus its value is:

M1 = $4000 * 1.2 = $4,800

By the end of the second year, the stock plan decreased by 4$, thus the value is:

M2 = $4,800 * 0.96 = $4,608

Finally, the stock plan increases by 6%, resulting in a final balance of:

M3 = $4,608 * 1.06 = $4,884.48

Finally, the last investment is in a savings account at 2.90% APR compounded annually for 3 years (not mentioned, but assumed).

P = $20,000 - $9,000- $3,000 - $4,000 = $4,000

i = 2.90 / 100 = 0.029

n = 3

Calculating:

\begin{gathered} M=\$4,000_{}(1+0.029)^3 \\ M=\$4,000\cdot1.089547389 \\ M=\$4,358.19 \end{gathered}

To summarize, the final balances for each type of investment at the end of the third year are:

Investment 1; $10,226.33

Investment 2: $3,350.31

Investment 3: $4,884.48

Investment 4: $4,358.19

Total balance: $22,819.32

Val rented a bicycle while she was on vacation. She paid a flat rental fee of f dollars, plus $8.50 each day. The total cost at
damaskus [11]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Val rented a bicycle while she was on vacation. She paid a flat rental fee of f dollars, plus $8.50 each day. The total cost at the end of her vacation was t dollars. Let d represent the number of days Val rented the bicycle. Write an equation representing the total cost at the end of her vacation.

Answer:

t=f+8.5d

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Flat rental fee = f

Variable fee per day = $8.50

Total cost at the end vacation = t

Number of days of her vacation = d

Using unitary method, we can find the variable fee for 'd' days.

1 day variable fee = $8.50

Therefore, 'd' days variable fee = 8.50d

Total cost at the end of her vacation can be obtained by adding the fixed rental fee and the variable fee obtained for the given number of days.

Now, total cost is given as:

Total cost = Flat rental fee + Variable fee

Substituting all the variables and framing above in the form of an equation, we get:

t=f+8.5d

Therefore, the equation representing the total cost at the end of her vacation is t=f+8.5d

Answer:

a) 7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

y-\frac{y-1}{2}=1-\frac{y-2}{3}  \\Through\ the\ butterfly\ method\ of\ resolving\ denominators\ ,\\\frac{2y-(y-1)}{2} = \frac{3-(y-2)}{3} \\\frac{2y-y+1}{2} = \frac{3-y+2}{3} \\\frac{y+1}{2} =\frac{5-y}{3} \\3(y+1)=2(5-y)\\3y+3=10-2y\\3y+2y=10-3\\5y=7\\y=\frac{7}{5}
