see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we have that

cos(A)=\frac{1}{5} \\ AB=12\ units\\ CD=2\ units

Step 1

<u>Find the value of AC</u>

we know that

in the right triangle ABC

cos (A)=(AC/AB)\\AC=AB*cos(A)

substitute the values in the formula

AC=12*(1/5)\\ AC=2.4\ units

Step 2

<u>Find the value of BC</u>

we know that

in the right triangle ABC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

AB^{2} =AC^{2}+BC^{2}\\ BC^{2}=AB^{2} -AC^{2}

substitute the values

BC^{2}=12^{2} -2.4^{2}\\BC^{2}= 138.24\\ BC=11.76\ units

Step 3  

<u>Find the value of BD</u>

we know that

in the right triangle BCD

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

BD^{2} =DC^{2}+BC^{2}

substitute the values  

BD^{2} =2^{2}+11.76^{2}

BD=11.93\ units

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the length of BD is 11.93 units

frozen [14]

Answer:

$6,020,826.711

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the present value of that year salary is shown below:

As we know that

Present value in case of continuous compounding, the formula is

= \frac{Guaranteed\ amount}{e^{0.067 \times 6}}

where,

The Guaranteed amount is $9,000,000

The Time period is 6 years

And, the interest rate is 6.7%

Now placing these values

So, the present value is

= \frac{\$9,000,000}{e^{0.067 \times 6}}

= $6,020,826.711

telo118 [61]

Answer:

a 270° rotation about point P

Step-by-step explanation:

Because after transformation MK and M'K 'are at 90°, that implies that MK is rotated as 90 ° clockwise around P or 270 ° counterclockwise around P.

Therefore the transformation composition that maps \triangle KLM to \triangleK"L"M",

So, for this composition, the first transformation is 270° is the 270° rotation i.e to be counterclockwise about point P.

While the transformation of the second would be down translation that goes to the right.

hence, the last option is correct

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the owners of Expo Company John Smith and Susan Jones invested $240,000 and $160,000 into the business respectively. We are asked to find the percentage of business owned by Susan.

Let us figure out total money invested in business by adding the money invested by John Smith and Susan Jones.

\text{Total money invested in business}=\$240,000+\$160,000

\text{Total money invested in business}=\$400,000

Now we will find $160,000 is what percent of $400,000.

\text{Percentage of business Susan own}=\frac{160,000}{400,000}\times 100

\text{Percentage of business Susan own}=0.4\times 100

\text{Percentage of business Susan own}=40

Therefore, Susan owns 40% of the business.
