Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

He wants to estimate the height of the statue of Thomas Jefferson. Corey stands so that his line of vision to the top and base of the statue form a right angle as shown in the diagram. ... So, the total height of the statue is about 159 + 68 or 227 inches, which is equivalent to 18 ft 11 in. ANSWER: 18 ft 11 in.

Answer:

so required angles are 50.7°and 129.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle be x

another angle = x + 78.6°

so,

x + x + 78.6° = 180° {being sum of supplementary angle}

so, 2x + 78.6° = 180°

or, 2x = 180° - 78.6°

or, x = 101.4/2

so, x = 50.7°

so another angle = x + 78.6°

= 50.7° + 78.6°

= 129.3°

4400 dollars is placed in an account with an annual interest rate of 7.5%. To the nearest tenth of a year, how long will it take

Katarina [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the amount of money in an account after a certain amount is deposited and compounded after t years once per year is

$A(t)=P(1+r)^t$

Our A(t) = 33800, P = 4400, r = .075 and we are looking for t. Filling in:

$33800=4400(1+.075)^t$ and

$33800=4400(1.075)^t$

Begin by dividing both sides by 4400 to get

$7.681818182=1.075^t$

The only way to move that t our from its current position as an exponent is to take the natural log of both sides and follow the rules for natural logs:

$ln(7.6181818182=ln(1.075)^t$

The power rule of natural logs says we can move that exponent down in front, giving us:

$ln(7.681818182)=t*ln(1.075)$

Divide both sides by ln(1.075) to get

$\frac{ln(7.61818182)}{ln(1.075)} =t$

Do this division on your calculator to get

t = 28.2 years
