Answer:

BC ≈ 4.0

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ DCA = 180° - 70° = 110° ( adjacent angles )

∠ DAC = 180° - (30 + 110)° ← sum of angles in triangle

∠ DAC = 180° - 140° = 40°

Using the Sine rule in Δ ACD to find common side AC

\frac{AC}{sin30} = \frac{15}{sin40} ( cross- multiply )

AC × sin40° = 15 × sin30° ( divide both sides by sin40° )

AC = \frac{15sin30}{sin40} ≈ 11.668

Using the cosine ratio in right triangle ABC

cos70° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{BC}{11.668} ( multiply both sides by 11.668 )

11.668 × cos70° = BC , then

BC ≈ 4.0 ( to the nearest tenth )

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$2353 at 12.5% and $7647 at 8.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll say a is the amount he invested in one market, and b is the amount in the other.

a + b = 10000, or b = 10000 - a

multiplying the investments with the percentages and adding them together will give the total earned interest.

(a × 0.125) + (b × 0.0825) = 925

0.125a + 0.0825b = 925

Use substitution to solve for a.

0.125a + 0.0825(10000 - a) = 925

0.125 a + 825 - 0.0825a = 925

0.0425a = 100

a = 2352.94

Use substitution to find b

b = 10000 - 2352.94

b = 7647.06

The questions are to the nearest dollar so round a and b.

$2353 and $7647

A company is creating a box without a top from a piece of cardboard, but cutting out square corners with side length x.
Volgvan
Answer: Choice B) The expression (10-2x)(30-2x)x represents the volume of the box

----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------

The original width is 10 inches. The width reduces to 10-2x inches after we cut off the top two corners of the rectangle. We can think of it as taking 10 and subtracting off two copies of x like so: 10-x-x = 10-2x

Similarly, the length goes from 30 inches to 30-2x inches. This time we're taking off the top and bottom corners (focus on either side it doesn't matter). 

The height of the box is x inches due to this portion being folded up. 

Volume of box = (width)*(length)*(height)
Volume of box = (10-2x)(30-2x)x

Note: the units for the answer are in cubic inches which can be written as "in^3" (inches cubed).
