The eyes of a basketball player are 5 feet above the floor. The player is at the free throw line, which is 15 feet from the point on the floor directly below the center of the basket. The rim of a standard basketball hoop is 10 feet of the floor. What is the angle of elevation from the player's eyes to the center of the rim?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

18.44°

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of sight of the player to the rim, the height of the eyes of the player above the floor, the distance of the player from the center of the rim and the height of the center of the rim above the ground form a trapezium. The height  of the center of the rim above the ground and  the height of the eyes of the player above the floor form parallel sides.

Since The height  of the center of the rim above the ground = 10 ft and the height of the eyes of the player above the floor = 5 ft, the height of the triangular part of the trapezium is 10 ft - 5 ft = 5 ft. The base of this triangle is parallel to the side of distance of the player from the center of the rim = 15 ft. So the base of this triangle is 15 ft. Since the angle of elevation Ф of the line of sight of the player to the rim is adjacent to this base = 15ft and opposite to the height of the triangle = 5ft,

By trigonometric ratios,

tanФ =opposite/adjacent = 5 ft/15 ft = 1/3

Ф = tan⁻¹(1/3)

Ф = 18.435°

Ф ≅ 18.44°

Anna bought a potted plant online. It cost $3.4 5plus 20% shipping and handling.What was the total cost

Answers

Answer:

Total cost = $4.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Selling price = $3.4

Shipping and handling fee = 20%

To find the total cost;

First of all, we would determine the extra fee;

Extra fee = 20/100 * 3.4

Extra fee = 68/100

Extra fee = $0.68

Now, we can solve for the total cost using the formula below;

Total cost = selling price + extra fee

Total cost = 3.4 + 0.68

Total cost = $4.08

A dune buggy company rents dune buggies at the beach. They charge an initial fee of $30 plus
$10 for each hour the buggy is rented. Let x represent the number of hours and y represent the
total cost of the rental.
1. If Clint rents a dune buggy for 5 hours, how much should he expect to pay?

Answers

Answer:

$80

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + 30 = y

He wants to rent it for 5 hours, so we replace x with 5.

10(5) + 30 = 80

He should expect to pay $80 for the rental.

Answer: 8.6 Ft^2

Explanation:

First find the area of the WHOLE square in FEET

2.5 x 4.5 = 11.25 ft

Then we need to find the area of the circle

r = radius

The formula is A = 3.14r^2

The radius is .9166, we can tell because the total distance from top to bottom is 22in meaning 1.83333 ft, meaning the diameter is 1.8333, then to get the radius we cut that in half.

A = 3.14(.9166^2

A = 2.64 Ft

Now we need to find the new total area

11.25 - 2.64 = 8.61 in ^2

Now we need to convert it to the nearest tenth of a square foot

8.6 Ft^2

Mr. Jennings is shopping for a car loan. He wants to buy a car that costs $18,000. He plans to pay $5,000 in cash and get a loan for the rest. If the annual interest rate on the loan is 5%, how much interest will he pay in the first year?

Answers

Answer:

$650

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest = amount of the loan x interest rate x time

Amount of the loan = price of the car - cash payment

$18,000 - $5,000 = $13,000

interest rate = 5%

time = 1 year

$13,000 x 0.05 x 1 = $650

Jennifer invests $8,353 in a retirement account with a fixed annual interest rate of8% compounded 4 times per year. What will the account balance be after 15 years?

Answers

Answer:

Amount after 15 years = $27,406.45 (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount invested p = $8,353

Rate r = 8% = 0.08/4 = 0.02 per year (4 times)

Number of interest compounded n = 15 year x 4 = 60 times

Find:

Amount after 15 years

Computation:

A = p[1+r]ⁿ

Amount after 15 years = 8,353[1+0.02]⁶⁰

Amount after 15 years = 8,353[1.02]⁶⁰

Amount after 15 years = $27,406.45 (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles shown form a straight line so they add to 180

2x+3 + x-6 = 180

Combine line terms

3x-3 =180

Add 3 to each side

3x-3+3 =180+3

3x=183

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 =183/3

x =61

The angle on the left is 2x+3

2x+3 = 2*61+3 = 122+3 = 125

The angle on the right is x-6 = 61-6 = 55

As we know that addition and subtraction are inverse operations, as are multiplication and division.

The given equation is c+3=4

To solve such equations we isolate the unknown( to keep it either to the left or right of = sign) as c = 4-3  

This is also called transposing and the sign of the transposed value changes.
