To support a tree damaged in a storm, a 12-foot wire is secured from the ground to the tree at a point 10 feet off the ground. the tree meets the ground at a right angle. at approximately what angle does the wire meet the ground?

33.6
39.8
50.2
56.4

(D)56.4

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, Let AB=10, AC=12 and m∠B=90°.

Thus, from ΔABC, using trigonometry, we have

Therefore, at the wire meet the ground.

56.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct on Edge2020

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
