A mountain in boone county is eroding and losing elevation at a rate of 5% every millennium. if the current elevation is 1,710 m

eters, how tall will the mountain be in 4 millennia?
if necessary, round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer: 1,393 meters tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 1710 meters for the initial amount, 0.05 for the rate of decrease, and 4 millennia for the time elapsed.

y

= a(1–r)t

y

= 1,710(1–0.05)4 Plug in values

y

= 1,710(0.95)4 Subtract

y

= 1,710(0.81450…) Simplify

y

= 1,392.80568… Multiply

Round to the nearest whole number.

1,392.80568… → 1,393

To the nearest whole number, the mountain will be 1,393 meters tall.

<h3><u>Let's</u><u> </u><u>understand the concept</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Here angle B is 90°

So $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle ABD$ Are right angled triangle

So we use Pythagoras thereon for solution

<h3><u>Required Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

First in triangle ABC

perpendicular=p=8cm

Hypontenuse =h =10cm

We need to find base=b

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed{\sf b^2=h^2-p^2}}$

Substitutethe values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b^2=10^2-p^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt {10^2-8^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt{100-64}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\bf b={\sqrt {36}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b=6$

$\therefore$ $\overline{BC}=6cm$

BD=BC+CD

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=9+6$

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=15cm$

Now in $\triangle ABD$

Perpendicular=p=8cm

Base =b=15cm

We need to find Hypontenuse =AD(x)

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed {\sf h^2=p^2+b^2}}$

Substitute the values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h^2=8^2+15^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {8^2+15^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {64+225}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {289}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h=17cm$

$\therefore$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf x=17cm}}}$

Suppose that Y varies directly with X andY equals 12 when X equals -2 what is X when Y equals -6

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

$x=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation equation has the following format:

$y=kx$

Where k is a constant.

We know that y is 12 when x is -2. Thus, substitute:

$12=-2k$

Divide both sides by -2:

$k=-6$

So, our direct variation equations is:

$y=-6x$

To find what x is when y equals -6, substitute in -6 for y:

$-6=-6x$

Divide both sides by -6:

$x=1$

So, our answer is 1 :)

The measure of angle A is 15°, and the length of side

dangina [55]

Answer:

Part 1) $AB=30.9\ units$

Part 2) $AC=29.9\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

Part 1

Find the length side AB

we know that

$sin(A)=\frac{BC}{AB}$ ----> by SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)

substitute the given values

$sin(15^o)=\frac{8}{AB}$

solve for AB

$AB=\frac{8}{sin(15^o)}=30.9\ units$

Part 2

Find the length side AC

we know that

$tan(A)=\frac{BC}{AC}$ ----> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)

substitute the given values

$tan(15^o)=\frac{8}{AC}$

solve for AC

$AC=\frac{8}{tan(15^o)}=29.9\ units$
