Answer:

The company decided to increase the price by $9.60, or by 48%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To measure the price difference in dollars is simple, just subtract the old price from the new one:

$29.60 - 20 = 9.60$

Divide the price change by the old price to find the price increase in percentage:

$9.60 \div 20 = 0.48 \\ 0.48 \times 100\% = 48\%$

a guy wire makes a 67 degree angle with the ground. walking out 32 ft further grom the tower,the angle of elevation to the top o

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

39.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relation between angles and sides of a right triangle.

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

This lets us write two equations in two unknowns:

tan(67°) = AD/CD . . . . . . . . . . angle at guy point

tan(39°) = AD/(CD+32) . . . . . .angle 32' farther

Solving the first equation for CD and using that in the second equation, we can get an equation for AD, the height of the tower.

CD = AD/tan(67°)

tan(39°)(CD +32) = AD . . . . eliminate fractions in the second equation

tan(39°)(AD/tan(67°) +32) = AD

32·tan(39°) = AD(1 -tan(39°)/tan(67°)) . . . simplify, subtract left-side AD term

32·tan(39°)tan(67°)/(tan(67°) -tan(39°)) = AD . . . . divide by AD coefficient

AD ≈ 39.486 . . . . feet

The tower is about 39.5 feet high.
