Sinα=h/w

From that, w=h/sinα. Knowing that h=15 ft and α=70° yields

w=15/sin70° ft

w≈15.96 ft (rounded to the nearest hundredth of a foot).

Response:

The necessary length of wire is:

15.9625 feet

Detailed explanation:

This scenario can be represented using a right triangle where the side opposite the 70-degree angle measures 15 feet.

Here, we need to calculate the amount of wire needed, that is, the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Using the sine trigonometric ratio, we proceed as follows:

\sin 70=\dfrac{15}{x}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=\dfrac{15}{\sin 70}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=\dfrac{15}{0.9397}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=15.9625\ feet

The manufacturer of a laser printer reports the mean number of pages a cartridge will print before it needs replacing is 12,200.
Leona [12618]

Answer:

14110

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of pages;

μ = 12200; σ = 820

Zscore = (x - μ) / σ

Zscore = (x - 12200) / 820

Zcritical for 99% confidence, with a one-tailed test equals 2.33

Hence, Z at 99% = 2.33

Substituting in for Zscore = 2.33

Zscore = (x - 12200) / 820

2.33 = (x - 12200) / 820

2.33 * 820 = x - 12200

1910.6 = x - 12200

1910.6 + 12200 = x

x = 14110.6

x = 14111

The number of pages to advertise for the cartridge is 14,110

What is the future value of $845 a year for seven years at an interest rate of 11.3 percent? $6,683.95 $6,075.69 $8,343.51 $8,00
lawyer [12517]
To determine the future value of an initial amount of $845 at an interest rate of 11.3% over 7 years, we will utilize the compound interest formula, which is expressed as:
A=p(1+r/100)^n
where:
A=future value
r=rate=11.3%=0.113
time=7 years
Hence, the future value of the capital will be:
A=845(1+0.113)^7
A=845(1.113)^7
A=$1,787.82

What is the domain of the function graphed below?
zzz [12365]
The function is applicable within the segments of x:
(-∞, -1) and [-1, 7), meaning it is valid for x < 7.

Importantly,
the function cannot be evaluated at x = -1 in the left part of the linear graph, while it is valid at x = -1 in the right segment of the same line. Additionally, the function is not defined at x = 7 or any value above it.

Conclusion: x < 7.
