Step-by-step explanation:

so, we have a large triangle made of the 2 cables as legs and the ground distance AB as baseline.

the tower is the height to the baseline of that large triangle.

let's call the top of the tower T.

and remember, the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°.

we know the angle A = 62°, and angle B = 72°.

assuming that AB is a truly horizontal line that means that the 2 legs (cables) have different lengths, the triangle is not isoceles, and the tower is not in the middle of the baseline.

so, the height (tower) splits the baseline into 2 parts. let's call them p and q.

p + q = 12 m

p = 12 - q

let's simply define that p is the part of the baseline on the A side, and q is the part of the baseline on the B side.

we have now 2 small right-angled triangles the large height (tower) splits the large triangle into.

one has the sides

AT, height (tower), p

angle A = 62°

angle T = 180 - 90 - 62 = 28°

the other has the sides

BT, height (tower), q

angle B = 72°

angle T = 180 - 90 - 72 = 18°

now remember the law of sine :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

with the sides and the associated angles being opposite.

p/sin(28) = height/sin(62)

q/sin(18) = height/sin(72)

we know from above that

p = 12 - q

so,

(12 - q)/sin(28) = height/sin(62)

height = (12 - q)×sin(62)/sin(28)

q/sin(18) = height/sin(72)

height = q×sin(72)/sin(18)

and therefore, as height = height we get

(12 - q)×sin(62)/sin(28) = q×sin(72)/sin(18)

(12 - q)×sin(62)×sin(18) = q×sin(72)×sin(28)

12×sin(62)×sin(18) - q×sin(62)×sin(18) =

= q×sin(72)×sin(28)

12×sin(62)×sin(18) = q×sin(72)×sin(28) + q×sin(62)×sin(18) =

= q×(sin(72)×sin(28) + sin(62)×sin(18))

q = 12×sin(62)×sin(18) / (sin(72)×sin(28) + sin(62)×sin(18))

q = 4.551603755... m

p = 12 - q = 7.448396245... m

height = q×sin(72)/sin(18) = 14.00839594... m ≈ 14 m

the cell tower is about 14 m tall.

Is mean affected by outlier
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

it measures spread around the mean. Because of its close links with the mean, standard deviation can be greatly affected if the mean gives a poor measure of central tendency. Standard deviation is also influenced by outliers one value could contribute largely to the results of the standard deviation.

Determine if the rates are equivalent. Explain your reasoning.5 cans of soup for $3.75; 8 cans of soup for $6.00
Liula [17]

Answer:

They are equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3.75 divided by 5 is .75 that means that 6 divided by 8 would have to also be .75 which, if you divide it, it is.

Sliva [168]
X + 1 < 5
x < 5 - 1
x < 4

u basically solve it like equations except for one important rule....with inequalities, when u multiply/divide by a negative number, the inequality sign changes directions. But we didn't have to deal with that rule in this particular problem
