The distance between the points A to B is 899.9 feet. After rounding off the  nearest integer we get 900 feet as the final answer.

Given we know that CD is perpendicular to AD.

The distance between CD is 139 feet.

As from points A the boat's crew measure the angle of elevation to the beacon as 6°

therefore, m∠A = 6°

Another time the angle of elevation is measured from point B which is 19°.

therefore, m∠DBC = 19°

tan 19° = CD/BD

BD = CD/tan19°

BD = 136/tan 19°

now for tan 6° = CD/AD (tangent is opposite over adjacent)

AD = CD/tan 6°

AD = 136/tan 6°

AB = AD ₋ BD

AB = 136/tan 6° ₋ 136/tan 19°

AB = 1295.2 ₋ 395.3

AB = 900 feet

hence the distance from point A to B is 900 feet.

The probability of event a is x, and the probability of event b is y. if the two events are independent, which condition must be
nalin [4]

Condition (A) P(B/A) = y is true.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>
  • Probability is an area of mathematics that deals with numerical descriptions of how probable an event is to occur or how likely a statement is to be true.

To find the true condition:


If two events are independent, then:

  • Pr(A∩B) = Pr(A) . Pr(B)

Use formulas for conditional probabilities:

  • Pr(A/B) = Pr(A∩B) / Pr(B)
  • Pr(B/A) = Pr(B∩A) / Pr(A)

For independent events these formulas will be:

  • Pr(A/B) = Pr(A∩B) / Pr(B) = Pr(A) . Pr(B) / Pr(B) = Pr(A)
  • Pr(B/A) = Pr(B∩A) / Pr(A) = Pr(B) . Pr(A) / Pr(A) = Pr(B)

Now in your case, Pr(A) = x and Pr(B) = y.

  • Pr(A/B) = x, Pr(B/A) = y, Pr(A∩B) = x.y

Therefore, condition (A) P(B/A) = y is true.
