Answer:

height ≈ 31 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration below will form a right angle triangle. He is standing 17 ft away from the base of the statue.  The angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the statue  is 61°. The height of the statue can be computed below.

adjacent side of the triangle = 17 ft

opposite side = a

Using SOHCAHTOA principle

tan 61° = opposite/adjacent

tan 61° = a/17

cross multiply

a = 17 tan 61°

a = 17 × 1.80404775527

a = 30.6688118396

a ≈ 31 ft

A rectangular prism has a length of 4.2 cm, a width of 5.8 cm, and a height of 9.6 cm. A similar prism has a length of 14.7 cm,
grigory [225]

Answer: 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Dimensions of larger prism = length of  4.2 cm, a width of 5.8 cm, and a height of 9.6 cm.

Dimensions of smaller prism = length of 14.7 cm, a width of 20.3 cm, and a height of 33.6 cm.

Scale factor = \dfrac{\text{Size of image}}{\text{Size of original figure}}

Since, smaller figure is the original figure and the bigger one is the image.

So, scale factor = \dfrac{14.7}{4.2}=3.5  [Taking lengths

Hence, the factor to produce the corresponding dimensions of the larger prism = 3.5

Leviafan [203]

Answer:Perry and Lorna take the maximum time and Maria and Lorna take the minimum time when they work together.

Explanation: Since, according to the question- Perry takes time when he works alone = 3 hours

Similarly, Maria takes = 2 hours, While Lorna takes= 2 hours 30 minutes or 2.5 hours.

since, there are three people thus their are three possibility to choose any two of them.

1- when Perry and Maria work together then time taken by them is \frac{1}{1/2+1/3}=\frac{1}{5/6}= 6/5= 1 hour 12 minutes.

2- when Maria and Lorna work together then time taken by them is \frac{1}{1/2 + 1/2.5}= 10/9= 1 hours 1/9 minutes ≈ 1 hours 7 min

3- when Perry and Lorna work together then time taken= \frac{1}{1/3+1/2.5}= 15/11= 1 hour 4/11 minutes≈ 1 hours 21 minutes

From the above explanation, it has been proved that when we talk about 2 members team then Perry and Lorna take the maximum time. While Maria and Lorna take the minimum time when they work together.

Melissa owns a credit card with a 8.9% APR that calculates interest using the ADB excluding new purchases method. The balance af
ira [324]

Answer:

$4.081

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Melissa owns a credit card with a 8.9% APR. The balance after her last billing cycle was $550.      

First of all, we will find period rate by dividing APR by 12 as 1 years equals 12 months.

\text{Period rate}=\frac{8.9\%}{12}=0.74166\%

The finance charge would be 0.74166% of $550.

\text{The finance charge}=\$550\times \frac{0.742}{100}

\text{The finance charge}=\$550\times 0.00742

\text{The finance charge}=\$4.081

Therefore, the finance charge would be $4.081.
