Answer:

22 3/4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram seems to show a 6 1/2 ft person casting a 9 ft shadow at the same time a flagpole is casting a 31 1/2 ft shadow. You want the height of the flagpole.

<h3>Proportion</h3>

Shadow lengths are presumed proportional to the height of the object making them. This means ...

h/(31 1/2) = (6 1/2)/9 . . . . . all lengths in feet

Multiplying by 31 1/2, we get ...

h = (31 1/2)(6 1/2)/9 = (819/4)/9 = 91/4

h = 22 3/4 . . . . ft

The flagpole is 22 3/4 feet tall.

Solve using square roots 3x^2+25=73

seropon [69]

Heya !

Given expression -

$3 {x}^{2} + 25 = 73$

Subtracting 25 both sides ,

$3 {x}^{2} + 25 - 25 = 73 - 25 \\ \\ 3 {x}^{2} = 48$

Dividing by 3 on both sides ,

$\frac{3 {x}^{2} }{3} = \frac{48}{3} \\ \\ {x}^{2} = 16$

Therefore ,
$x = + \: 4 \: \: \: \: or \: \: - 4 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: Ans.$

Dimas [21]

CAC can be changed into CAAC. This is because the first rule says that any letter can change into an A so
CAC=CAA
The last condition says that when you double , you have to double all letters,
Since A has been doubled,C needs to be doubled too.So:
CAA=CAAC

So the equation you’ll use for both is
WP = mg • h
It’s delta height generally.

1.) .9 m = h

2.) 216 = WP

I would’ve sent a screenshot, but the app wouldn’t let me.

California is hit every year by approximately 500 earthquakes that are large enough to be felt. However, those of destructive ma

Elanso [62]

Answer:

a) The probability that at least 3 months elapse before the first earthquake of destructive magnitude occurs is P=0.7788

b) The probability that at least 7 months elapsed before the first earthquake of destructive magnitude occurs knowing that 3 months have already elapsed is P=0.7165

Step-by-step explanation:

Tha most appropiate distribution to model the probability of this events is the exponential distribution.

The cumulative distribution function of the exponential distribution is given by:

$P(t$

The destructive earthquakes happen in average once a year. This can be expressed by the parameter λ=1/year.

We can express the probability of having a 3 month period (t=3/12=0.25) without destructive earthquakes as:

$P(t>0.25)=1-P(t$

Applying the memory-less property of the exponential distribution, in which the past events don't affect the future probabilities, the probability of having at least 7 months (t=0.58) elapsed before the first earthquake given that 3 months have already elapsed, is the same as the probability of having 4 months elapsed before an earthquake.

$P(t>0.58)/P(t>0.25)=P(t>0.33)$

$P(t>0.33)=1-P(t$
