Part A:

Given that the <span>cable runs from the top of a building to a point on the ground 60.3 feet from the base of the building and that the </span>cable makes and angle of 33.7˚ with the ground.

Let the height of the building be h, then

\tan33.7^o= \frac{h}{60.3}  \\  \\ \Rightarrow h=60.3\tan33.7^o \\  \\ \approx40\, feet.



Part B:

Given that the cable runs from the top of a building to a point on the ground 60.3 feet from the base of the building and that the cable makes and angle of 33.7˚ with the ground.

Let the length of the building be l, then

\cos33.7^o= \frac{60.3}{l}  \\  \\ \Rightarrow l=\frac{60.3}{\cos33.7^o} \\  \\ \approx72\, feet.

Select all of the following ordered pairs that are in the solution set of the inequality shown.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

points on the boundary line: (0, 10), (20, 0)

solution points not on the boundary line: (100, 100)

Step-by-step explanation:

We cannot tell from the posted picture whether the boundary line is solid or dashed, so the answer above is split into two parts. If the boundary line is solid (x+2y≥20), all three listed points are in the solution set. If the boundary line is dashed (x+2y>20), only (100, 100) is in the solution set

Your grandparents invested $2,000 for you on the day you were born. How much will this investment be worth on your 25th birthday
algol [13]

We know that, Amount in Compound interest is given by :

\bigstar \ \ \boxed{\sf{Amount = Principal\bigg(1 + \dfrac{Rate \ of \ Interest}{100}\bigg)^{Time \ Period}}}

Given : Principal = $2000

Given : Annual yield is 5% and the interest is compounded quarterly

It means : Interest is compounded 4 times in a year

\implies \sf{Rate \ of \ Interest = \dfrac{R}{4} = \dfrac{5}{4}}

\sf{\implies Time \ period = (25 \times 4) = 100}

Substituting all the values in the formula, we get :

\implies \sf{Amount = 2000\bigg(1 + \dfrac{\dfrac{5}{4}}{100}\bigg)^{100}}

\implies \sf{Amount = 2000\bigg(1 + \dfrac{5}{400}\bigg)^{100}}

\implies \sf{Amount = 2000\bigg(1 + \dfrac{1}{80}\bigg)^{100}}

\implies \sf{Amount = 2000\bigg(\dfrac{81}{80}\bigg)^{100}}

\implies \sf{Amount = 2000 \times (1.0125)^{100}}

\implies \sf{Amount = 2000 \times 3.463}}

\implies \sf{Amount = 6926.8}
