Answer:

15.24feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the method of SOH CAH TOA;

Length of the kite is the hypotenuse = x

If the kite is 10 feet up in the air, then the height = 10feet (opposite)

Angle of elevation = 41 degrees

Sin theta = Opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 41 = 10/x

x = 10/sin41

x = 10/0.6561

x = 15.24 feet

Hence the kite is 15.24feet long

2 1/2 yds = 2.5 x 36 = 90 inches...what she started with

2 ft 8 in = 2(12) + 8 = 32 inches...what she had left

90 - x = 32
90 - 32 = x
x = 58 inches....so she used 58 inches

Could 10.6 cm and 5.6 and 4.0 cm be the side length of a triangle

Lady bird [3.3K]

No, because the sum of any of the sides must be greater than all sides. 5.6 +4.0=9.6 which is less than 10.6, meaning that it is impossible to create a triangle with those lengths.

Corlos bought a book for $9 . now he would like to buy 4 other books for the same price .how much will he have to pay in all for

Rashid [163]

I'd do 9x4=36 because the 9 is from your money and the 4 is from your books. Now since you want to find out how much 4 books cost you just multiply that by 9

If you invested $500 at 5% simple interest for 2 years, how much interest do you earn? Show work and answer in

givi [52]

Answer:

$50

$30.88

I will invest in simple interest as the interest there is more.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I invested $500 at 5% simple interest for 2 years, then the interest that I will get will be given by the formula

$I = P \times \frac{rt}{100}$ , where P is the invested principal, r is the APR and t is the time in years.

So, in our case, $I = 500 \times \frac{5 \times 2}{100} = 50$ dollars. (Answer)

Now, if I invest $500 at 3% compound interest compounded monthly for 2 years.

Now, using the formula of compound interest we have

$I = P(1 + \frac{r}{n \times 100} )^{tn} - P$ , where r is the APR and n is the number of times in a year the principal is compounded.

In our case, $I = 500(1 + \frac{3}{12 \times 100} )^{2 \times 12} - 500 = 30.88$ dollars. (Answer)

Therefore, I will invest in simple interest as the interest there is more. (Answer)
