Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Harpreet        = x + 3

Sukhpreet     = x

Komalpreet   = 2*(x + 3)

Average Age = 15

Equation

[(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] / 3 = 15                  Multiply both sides by 3

Solution

3 [(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] / 3 = 15 * 3         Combine

 [(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ]       =   45             Remove the brackets

x + 3 + x + 2x + 6                 =   45             Combine like terms

4x + 9 = 45                                                 Subtract 9 from both sides

4x + 9 - 9 = 45 - 9                                       Combine

4x = 36                                                         Divide by 4

4x/4 = 36/4

x = 9

Answer

Harpreet is  x+ 3 = 9 + 3 = 12

Silvio is an air-traffic controller who must calculate the altitude of an incoming plane. He sees the plane at an angle of eleva
Mrac [35]
Since the problem is not telling us the height of Silvio, we are going to assume it is not relevant for our calculations.
Let h the altitude of the incoming plane. We know for our problem that the distance between Silvio and the tower is 3 miles, Also we know that the angle of elevation to the plane is 40°. With this information we can create a triangle as shown in the figure. We need a function that relates the angle of elevation with its opposite and adjacent sides, that function is tangent.
tan \alpha = \frac{opposite.side}{adjacent.side}
tan(40)= \frac{h}{3}
h=3tan(40)
h=2.5miles

We can conclude that we should use the trig function tangent to model this situation; also, we can conclude that the equation that describes this situation is h=3tan(40).

A Standard number is<br> tossed find each<br> Probability.<br> P (4 or less than 6)
Klio2033 [76]

the probability of rolling 4 or a number less than 6 is P = 5/6

<h3 /><h3>How to find the probability?</h3>

The standard number cube has the outcomes {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

We want to find the probability of rolling 4 or a number less than 6. (4 is a number less than 6).

The outcomes that meet that condition are:

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

So 5 out of 6 outcomes meet the condition, then the probability is:

P(4 or less than 6) = 5/6
