ANSWER
23.6 feet
EXPLANATION
The given triangle is a right triangle.
The hypotenuse is 27 ft.
The given angle I s 29°
The unknown side x, is adjacent to the given angle.
We use the cosine ratio to get,


We multiply both sides by 27 to get;


to the nearest tenth.
General exponential equation
y = A(1+r)^x
where
A = initial value
r = rate increase (+) or decrease (-)
x = time period of the change
y = projected value
y = 300(1.05)^x
in this problem, x = years after 2017
we want to find an x that makes the value more than or equal to 650
650 <= 300(1.05)^x
