Answer:

$4,116

Step-by-step explanation:

Worth of Mike's car at the start of 2014 = $12,000

If the car is said to depreciates every year by 30% = 30/100 = 0.3

The worth of the car at the start of 2017 is what we are to determine.

This means that the car depreciated by 30% (0.3) for 3 years since 2014 (2017 - 2014 = 3 yrs)

The worth at the start of 2017 would be calculated as follows:

12,000 × (1 - 0.3)³

= 12,000 × (0.7)³

= 12,000 × 0.343

= 4,116

Worth of the car at the start of 2017 would be $4,116

What number is 1/10 as great as 7962

Sliva [168]

A number 1/10 as great as 7962 would be 796.2

You get this answer by either dividing 7,962 with 10 which gives you 769.2

Or you can multiply 7,962 with 1/10 to get 7,962/10. If you simplify then you get 796 1/5 or 796.2.

Answer:

Approximately, 159 men weighs more than 165 pounds and 159 men weighs less than 135 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 150 pounds

Standard Deviation, σ = 15

We are given that the distribution of weights of 1000 men is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P( men weighing more than 165 pounds)

P(x > 165)

$P( x > 165) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{165 - 150}{15}) = P(z > 1)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq 1)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x > 165) = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587 = 15.87\%$

Approximately, 159 men weighs more than 165 pounds.

P(men weighing less than 135 pounds)

P(x < 135)

$P( x < 135) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{135 - 150}{15}) = P(z < -1)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x < 135) = 0.1587 = 15.87\%$

Approximately, 159 men weighs less than 135 pounds.

The nakagin capsule tower has 140 modules and is 14 stories high if the modules were divided evenly among the number of stories

Burka [1]

To determine the number of modules that is in each story, we simply divide the number of modules by the number of stories.
= 140 / 14
Simplifying,
= 10 modules / story
Therefore, by even distribution we note that there are 10 modules per story.

Scott wants to buy fencing to place around a circular rock garden. The diameter of the circle is 16 feet. Using 3.14 for π, Calc

denpristay [2]

Answer:

200.96 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of fencing Scott will need to buy can be gotten by calculating the area of the circular rock garden .

Area of a circle is given by

Pi r^2

Where

r = radius

Given diameter of 16 feet

r = diameter/2

= 16/2

= 8 feet

Pi = 3.14

Therefore,

Area = 3.14 x 8^2

= 3.14 x 8 x 8

= 200.96 square feet

The amount of fencing Scott will need to buy is 200.96square feet

A sailor is looking at a kite. If he is looking at the kite at an angle of elevation of 36and the distance from the boat to the

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Height of the kite from the ground is 29.2 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

For better explanation of the solution, see the figure attached :

The angle formed by the height of kite to that of the surface of the ground is right angle.

⇒ m∠ABC = 90°

Let angle of elevation be θ

Now, to find height of the kite : find length of AB

In right angled triangle ABC , using tan rule, we have $\tan\theta=\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\\\\tan36^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{BC}\\\\\implies \tan36^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{40}\\\\\implies AB=0.73\times 40\\\\\bf\implies AB=29.2\thinspace{ feet}$

Hence, Height of the kite from the ground is 29.2 feet.
