We can use the Pythagorean theorum
a^2+b^2=c^2
c^2 is the length of the longest side squared
so
6^2 + b^2 = 10^2
36+ b^2 = 100
-36 -36
b^2 = 64
b = 8
b is the same thing as your "x", so x = 8
Before attempting to solve this question, we must first know three things.
1. A straight line has a measure of 180 degrees.
2. When two angles add up to 180 degrees, those angles are called supplementary.
3. The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
We can see ∠ECT = 180 degrees.
∠DCT is supplementary to ∠DCE.
∠DCT = 140 degreees
∠DCE = x degrees
x + 140 = 180
Solve for x.
x + 140 = 180
x = 40 <-- Subtract 140 from each side
∠DCE = 40 degrees
We know the two interior angles of ΔDEC.
45 + 40 + x = 180
Solve for x.
45 + 40 + x = 180
85 + x = 180 <-- Combine like terms
x = 95
So, the missing angle is equal to 95 degrees.
Answer:
In 4 years = $1,893.72
In 16 years = $3,810.53
years to contain $2,000 = 4.9371454128
years to contain $2,500 = 8.766692911
Step-by-step explanation:
In 4 years
A = 1,500 (1 + 0.06)^4
= $1,893.72
In 16 years
A = 1,500 (1 + 0.06)^16
= $3, 810.53
to find number of years
t = ln (A/P) / ln (1+r)
when A = 2,000
t = ln(2,000/1,500) / ln(1+0.06)
= 4.9371454128 years
when A = 2,500
t = ln(2,500/1,500) / ln(1+0.06)
= 8.766692911 years
PS: You can also use log in place of ln
