A tree broke 6 feet from the bottom. If the top landed 12 feet from the base, how tall was the tree before it broke?

$400 interest is earned on a principal of $2,000 at a simple interest rate of 5% interest per year. For how many years was the p

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Simple interest= $400

Principal= $2000

Rate= 5%

The simple interest formula is given as

SI=PRT/100

substitute and solve for T

400=2000*5*T/100

cross multiply

400*100= 10000*T

40000=10000T

T= 40000/10000

T= 4 years

Hence the time taken is 4 years

Semicircles and quarter circles are types of arc lengths. Recall that an arc is simply part of a circle. we learned about the degree measure of an ac, but they also have physical lengths.

a) Determine the arc length to the nearest tenth of an inch.

b) Explain why the following proportion would solve for the length of AC below: $\frac{x}{12\pi } = \frac{130}{360}$

c) Solve the proportion in (b) to find the length of AC to the nearest tenth of an inch.

Note: The image in the attachment shows the arc to solve this question.

Answer: a) 9.4 in

c) x = 13.6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $\frac{arclength}{2\pi.r } = \frac{mAB}{360}$ , where:

r is the radius of the circumference

mAB is the angle of the arc

arc length = $\frac{mAB.2.\pi.r }{360}$

arc length = $\frac{90.2.3.14.6}{360}$

arc length = 9.4

The arc lenght for the image is 9.4 inches.

b) An <u>arc</u> <u>length</u> is a fraction of the circumference of a circle. To determine the arc length, the ratio of the length of an arc to the circumference is equal to the ratio of the measure of the arc to 360°. So, suppose the arc length is x, for the arc in (b):

$\frac{x}{2.6.\pi } = \frac{130}{360}$
