The horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship is 485.2 feet.

<h3>What is trigonometric ratio?</h3>

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the sides and angles of right angled triangle.

Let d represent the horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship. Since the angle of depression is 67°, hence:

Angle = 90 - 67 = 23°

Using trig ratio:

tan(23) = d/1143

d = 485.2 feet

The horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship is 485.2 feet.

A letter is randomly chosen from the word EXCELLENT. Write each probability as a fraction, decimal, and a percent.
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete. A complete question is in the form:

A letter is chosen at random from the letters of the word EXCELLENT. Find the probability that letter chosen is i) a vowel ii) a consonant.

Solution:

The total number of letters found in the word EXCELLENT = 9

i) The number of vowel letters found in the word EXCELLENT = {E, E, E} = 3

Hence, probability that letter chosen is a vowel = number of vowels / total number of letters = 3 / 9 = 1 / 3

probability that letter chosen is a vowel = 1/3 = 0.333 = 33.3%

ii) The number of consonant letters found in the word EXCELLENT = {X, C, L, L, N, T} = 6

Hence, probability that letter chosen is a consonant = number of consonant / total number of letters = 6 / 9 = 2 / 3

probability that letter chosen is a consonant = 2/3 = 0.667 = 66.7%
