Answer: 61.16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think in this situation as a triangle rectangle.

where:

The height of the tree is one cathetus

The shadow of the tree is the other cathetus.

We know that the angle of elevation of the sun is 78°, an angle of elevation is measured from the ground, then the adjacent cathetus to this angle is the shadow of the tree. And the opposite cathetus will be the height of the tree.

Now we can remember the relationship:

Tg(A) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

Where:

A = 78°

Adjacent cathetus = 13ft

opposite cathetus = height of the tree = H

Then we have the equation:

Tg(78°) = H/13ft

Tg(78°)*13ft = H = 61.16 ft

Ebony's gross income is $46 660 with allowable tax deductions of $4120. a What is Ebony's taxable income? b Calculate the amount
jasenka [17]

Answer:

(a) Ebony's taxable income = $42,540

(b) Amount of tax due = $5190.3

(c) Amount of tax owed = $4810.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Ebony's gross income = $46,660 (given)

Allowable tax deductions = $4,120 (given)

(a) Taxable Income = Gross income - Tax deductions

Ebony's taxable income = $46,660 - $4,120

Ebony's taxable income = $42,540

(b) Amount of tax due = 22% of Taxable Income,

Refer to the USA Tax Brackets for 2019 (See Attached image)

Amount of tax due = 10% on first $9,700 + 12% on ($39475-$9700) + 22% on  ($42540-$39475).

Amount of tax due = 10% on first $9,700 + 12% on $29775 + 22% on $3065.

Amount of tax due = $970 + $3573 + $647.3

Amount of tax due = $5190.3

(c) Ebony pays $95 per week in tax. In four weeks (a month), she'd pay

$95 * 4 = $380

Amount of tax owed = Amount of tax due - Amount of tax paid

Amount of tax owed = $5190.3 - $380 = $4810.3
