Answer:

17.78 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the horizontal distance, in meters, to home plate

\theta ----> the angle of vision

we know that

tan(\theta)=\frac{40}{x} ----> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)

we have

tan(\theta)=\frac{9}{4}

substitute

\frac{9}{4}=\frac{40}{x}

solve for x

x=40(4)/9\\x=17.78\ m

Jason’s savings account has a balance of $2179. After 5 years , what will the amount of interest be at 6% compounded quarterly?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

$755.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the compound amount first and then subtract the principal from it, to find the amount of interest.

The compound amount formula is A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt), where

P is the initial principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, n is the number of compounding periods per year, and t is the number of years.  Here, P = $2179; t = 5 yrs; r = 0.06; and n = 4 (quarterly compounding).

We get:

A = $2179(1 + 0.06/4)^(4*5), or $2179(1.015)^20, or $2179(1.347) = $2937.80.

The compound amount is $2934.80.  Subtracting the $2179 principal results in the interest earned:  $755.80.

The radius of a cylindrical construction pipe is 1.5ft . If the pipe is 14ft long, what is its volume? Use the value 3.14 for π
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Volume of cylinder =989 ft cube

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Volume of cylinder</u>

Volume V = πr²h

r - radius and h - height

It is given that,

The radius of a cylindrical construction pipe is 1.5ft and

Length of pipe = 14 ft

<u>To find volume of cylinder</u>

Volume V = πr²h

V = 3.14 x 1.5 x1.5 x 14 =989.1 ≈ 989 ft cube

Ashley invests $9,720 in a one-month money market account paying 3.16% simple annual interest and $8,140 in a two-year CD yieldi
tester [92]
For the first investment. A = P(1 + rt); where p = 9,720, r = 0.0316 and t = 1/12
A = 9720(1 + 0.0316/12) = 9720(1.0026) = $9,746

For the second investment,
A = 8140(1 + 0.0323 x 2) = 8140(1.0646) = $8,666

Total amount she had = $9,746 + $8,666 = $18,412
