Area of a triangle = 1/2 ab sinC

In this equation the angle C is between the two adjacent sides ab
Since the lengths are equal we can call them both X
Hence 254= 1/2 (x)(x) sin53
By simplifying 508 = (x^2) sin53
So therefore x is the square root of 508 divided by sin53 which means the length of the sides is 35.8km to 3 significant figures

Suppose the probability of an IRS audit is 1.5 percent for U.S. taxpayers who file form 1040 and who earned $100,000 or more.
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

(A) The odds that the taxpayer will be audited is approximately 0.015.

(B) The odds against these taxpayer being audited is approximately 65.67.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Suppose the probability of an IRS audit is 1.5 percent for U.S. taxpayers who file form 1040 and who earned $100,000 or more.

A. What are the odds that the taxpayer will be audited?

B. What are the odds against such tax payer being audited?

Solution:

The proportion of U.S. taxpayers who were audited is:

P (A) = 0.015

Then the proportion of U.S. taxpayers who were not audited will be:

P (A') = 1 - P (A)

        = 1 - 0.015

        = 0.985

(A)

Compute the  odds that the taxpayer will be audited as follows:

\text{Odds of being Audited}=\frac{P(A)}{P(A')}

                                    =\frac{0.015}{0.985}\\\\=\frac{3}{197}\\\\=0.015228\\\\\approx 0.015

Thus, the odds that the taxpayer will be audited is approximately 0.015.

(B)

Compute the odds against these taxpayer being audited as follows:

\text{Odds against Audited}=\frac{P(A')}{P(A)}

                                    =\frac{0.985}{0.015}\\\\=\frac{3}{197}\\\\=65.666667\\\\\approx 65.67

Thus, the odds against these taxpayer being audited is approximately 65.67.

How will you compare your experience in factoring by grouping with factoring the difference of two squares? Describe
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Factoring in groups is like breaking it apart piece by piece and takes more steps.

Factoring the difference of two squares takes few steps and is easier.

A man starts at a point A and walks 18 feet north. He then turns and walks due east at 18 feet per second. If a searchlight plac
34kurt

Answer:

1/10 per sec

Step-by-step explanation:

When he's walked x feet in the eastward direction, the angle Θ that the search light makes has tangent

tanΘ = x/18

Taking the derivative with respect to time

sec²Θ dΘ/dt = 1/18 dx/dt.

He's walking at a rate of 18 ft/sec, so dx/dt = 18.

After 3seconds,

Speed = distance/time

18ft/sec =distance/3secs

x = 18 ft/sec (3 sec)

= 54ft. At this moment

tanΘ = 54/18

= 3

sec²Θ = 1 + tan²Θ

1 + 3² = 1+9

= 10

So at this moment

10 dΘ/dt = (1/18ft) 18 ft/sec = 1

10dΘ/dt = 1

dΘ/dt = 1/10 per sec

Question 1-3........
Xelga [282]

1. Answer:

C. 1050

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle, it is length * width * height

25 * 7 = 175

175 * 6 = 1050

2. Answer:

C. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing dimension of a rectangle, you can easily just divide the total by each dimension

540 divided by 7.5 = 72

72 divided by 9 = 8

3. Answer:

D. 31,400

(31,415.9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the cylinder is 20

The height of the cylinder 25

πr2h is the formula used to find the volume of a cylinder
