Answer 1

Answer:

514 m = width of the river to the nearest meter

Step-by-step explanation:

You must memorize the definitions of the trig functions and then these types of problems are easy.

You have a right triangle where the 100 m is the adjacent side to the 79° angle.  You are looking for the side opposite the 79° angle.  So, you need to use the tan function which is defined as opposite side/adjacent side

Let x = the length of the opposite side (width of river)

Tan 79 = x/100

100 tan 79 = x

x = 514 m = width of the river to the nearest meter

Answer 2

The tangent or tanθ in a right angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its base. The width of the river is 514.455 meters.

What is Tangent (Tanθ)?

The tangent or tanθ in a right angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its base. it is given as,

[tex]\rm Tangent(\theta) = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}[/tex]

where,

θ is the angle,

Perpendicular is the side of the triangle opposite to the angle θ,

Base is the adjacent smaller side of the angle θ.


As it is given that you walk 100 meters to the right of the stake and measure a 79° angle between the stake and the boulder. Therefore, using the tangent angle the width of the river can be written as,

[tex]\rm Tangent(\theta) = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\\\\\\rm tan(79^o) = \dfrac{\text{Width of the river}}{100\ meter}\\\\\\\text{Width of the river} = tan(79^o) \times 100 = 514.455\ meters[/tex]

Hence, the width of the river is 514.455 meters.

Lydia invested $83,000 in an account paying an interest rate of 6.7% compounded
monthly. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals are made, how long would it take, to
the nearest year, for the value of the account to reach $210,100?

Answers

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

 

The required time for Lydia's account to reach $210,100 is 13.9 years.

What is compound interest?

Compound interest is the interest on deposits computed on both the initial principal and the interest earned over time.

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 6.7/100

r = 0.067 per year,

Then, solve the equation for t

t = ln(A/P) / n[ln(1 + r/n)]

t = ln(210,100/83,000) / ( 12 × [ln(1 + 0.067/12)] )

t = ln(210,100/83,000) / ( 12 × [ln(1 + 0.0055)] )

t = 13.9 years

Thus, the required time for Lydia's account to reach $210,100 is 13.9 years.

Total area = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = length × width

Area of a triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × base × height

[ Height of the triangle = 10 - 6 = 4 ]

Area of a triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 9 × 4

= 18

Total area = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle

= 54 + 18

= 72
