Answer:
£495 million
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out the total cost of the land, we need to first calculate the area of the land.
Step 1: Find area of right angled triangle ADC
AD = 5 km,
DC = 12 km
Area of the right triangle = ½*a*b
a = 5km
b = 12km
Area = ½*5*12
= 5*6
Area of ADC = 30 km²
Step 2: Find the area of triangle ABC
First, let's find the length of AC using Pythagorean theorem
AC² = AD² + DC²
AC² = 5² + 12² = 25 + 144
AC = √169
AC = 13km
Area of ∆ABC = ½*AB*AC*sin(30°)
= ½*6*13*0.5
= 3*13*0.5
Area of ∆ABC = 19.5 km²
Total area of the land = area of ∆ADC + ∆ABC = 30 + 19.5 = 49.5 km²
Step 3: calculate how much the land costs
If the land costs £10 million per km²,
Cost of 49.5 km² = 49.5 × 10 = £495 million
The ribbon would be 9 yards long
To solve this we can take two different approaches:
1. We can substitute theta by 30° and evaluate our expression using a calculator:


2. We can use the unitary circle and the fact that

, so we can rewrite our expression as follows:



From our unitary circle we can check that

and

.
Lets replace those values in our expression and simplify:



Either way we can conclude that the correct answer is:
D)8.7
Answer:
H. 2 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
- DATE >> WATER LEVEL CHANGE (inches)
- August 25 >> -0.75
- September 8 >> -1 3/ 8
- September 22 >> 2.5
- October 6 >> -1/2
- October 20 >> 1 7/8
<u>Total change:</u>
- 1 7/8 - (-0.75) =
- 1+ 7/8 + 3/4 =
- 1 + 7/8 + 6/8 =
- 1 + 13/8 =
- 1+ 1 5/8 =
- 2 5/8
The closest answer option is H. 2 3/4
