A blimp is 1600 meters high in the air and measures the angles of depression to two stadiums to the east of the blimp. if those

measurements are 71.7° and 25.2°, how far apart are the two stadiums?

The two stadiums are 2,871 meters

A blimp    = point A

stadium 1  = point B

stadium 2 = point C

height of the blimp ,  AD = 1600

depression angle of stadium 1 , ∠y = 71.7°

depression angle of stadium 2 , ∠x = 25.2°

distance between the two stadiums  = d

So, it forms 2 triangles  ABD and ACD,

Using the trigonometric ratios,

tan θ = Altitude / Base

DC = AD × tan (90° - x)

= 1600 × tan( 90° - 25.2° )

= 1600 × cot(25.2°)

= 1600 × 2.13

DB = AD × tan (90° - y)

= 1600 × tan( 90° - 71.7° )

= 1600 × cot(71.7°)

= 1600 × 0.33

∴ d = DC - DB

     = 1600 * [ tan( 90° - 25.2° ) - tan( 90° - 71.7° ) ]

    = 2,871 meters

(-10, -10) and (-2, -3) find the slope.
ankoles [38]
The slope is 7/8.

Slope formula is the change in y over the change in x,
M=y2-y1 / x2-x1

M= -3 - (-10) / -2 - (-10)

Remember that two negatives equal a positive.

That makes the equation:
M= -3 + 10 / -2 + 10

M= 7/8

A grower believes that one in five of his citrus trees are infected with the citrus red mite. How large a sample should be taken
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

n=6147

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

X=1 number of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

n=5 random sample taken

\hat p=\frac{1}{5}=0.2 estimated proportion of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

p true population proportion of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

Me=0.01 represent the margin of error desired

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})

In order to find the critical values we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical values would be given by:

t_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.01 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.96})^2}=6146.56  

And rounded up we have that n=6147

An oblique cone has a radius of 4 units, a height of 8.5 units, and a slant length of 11.7 inches. What is the volume of the obl
trasher [3.6K]

Oblique Cone

The volume of the oblique cone is 144.49 cubic inches , if an oblique cone has a radius of 4 units, a height of 8.5 units, and a slant length of 11.7 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

             An oblique cone has a radius of 4 units

             A height of 8.5 units

             A slant length of 11.7 inches

We have to use the slant height to calculate actual base

So in a right angle triangle when two sides are given the third side is calculated by

Root (sqr(11,7) - sqr(8.5)) = 8.03 units

\sqrt{11.7^{2}  - 8.5^{2} }

⇒ 8.03 units

Formula to calculate the volume of oblique cone,......................(1)

V = \frac{1}{3} bh

If r is the distance of the base of the height from the center of the circle [ this is because the base of the height is outside the oblique cone]

V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h

Where r is the distance if the base of the height from the center of the circle [ this is because the base of the height is outside the oblique cone]

Here r = 8.03 - 4 = 4.03 units

Volume = \frac{1}{3}× 3.14 × 4.03 × 4.03 × 8.5

Volume = 144.49 cubic inches

Hence, the volume of the oblique cone is 144.49 cubic inches , if an oblique cone has a radius of 4 units, a height of 8.5 units, and a slant length of 11.7 inches.
