The height of the skyscraper to the nearest tenth is 234. 95 meters.

<h3>How to determine the height</h3>

From the information given, we have:

  • angle of elevation = 32°
  • length of the base, adjacent side = 376 meters
  • height of the skyscraper, opposite side = x meters

To determine the height of the elevator, let's use the tangent identity

We have that;

tan θ = opposite/ adjacent

The value of the opposite side is 'x' which is the height of the skyscraper and the value of the adjacent side is 376 meters which is the length of the base of the skyscraper

Now, substitute the values, we have;

tan 32 = x/ 376

cross multiply

x = tan 32 × 376

x = 0. 6249 × 376

x = 234. 95 meters

We know that the 'x' represents the opposite side and thus the height of the skyscraper

Thus, the height of the skyscraper to the nearest tenth is 234. 95 meters.

A machine that produces ball bearings has initially been set so that the true average diameter of the bearings it produces is .5
lara [203]

Answer:

7.3% of the bearings produced will not be acceptable

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 0.499, \sigma = 0.002

Target value of .500 in. A bearing is acceptable if its diameter is within .004 in. of this target value.

So bearing larger than 0.504 in or smaller than 0.496 in are not acceptable.

Larger than 0.504

1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.504.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{0.504 - 0.494}{0.002}

Z = 2.5

Z = 2.5 has a pvalue of 0.9938

1 - 0.9938= 0.0062

Smaller than 0.496

pvalue of Z when X = -1.5

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{0.496 - 0.494}{0.002}

Z = -1.5

Z = -1.5 has a pvalue of 0.0668

0.0668 + 0.0062 = 0.073

7.3% of the bearings produced will not be acceptable

Find the length of each arc. Round to the nearest tenth.
avanturin [10]

Answer:

arc ≈ 5.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc of the circle is calculated as

arc = circumference of circle × fraction of circle

     = 2πr × \frac{\frac{\pi }{2} }{2\pi } ( r is the radius )

    = 2π × 3.5 × \frac{1}{4}

    = \frac{7\pi }{4}

    ≈ 5.5 ( to the nearest tenth )

A plumber has a 2-meter length of pipe. He needs to cut it into sections that are 10 centimeters long. How many sections will he
musickatia [10]

Answer:

  20

Step-by-step explanation:

For cutting problems, we make the assumption that there is no loss of length due to the material moved or removed by cutting.

  2 m = 200 cm

so there are ...

  (200 cm)/(10 cm/section) = 20 sections

that can be cut from the pipe.
