To solve this problem, draw the situation for a better comprehension:

As we can see, the situation describes a right triangle and we can use pythagorean theorem to solve it.

To do this, use the corresponding units.

For inches:

\begin{gathered} h=\sqrt[]{84^2-48^2} \\ h=\sqrt[]{7056-2304} \\ h=\sqrt[]{4752} \\ h=68.9 \end{gathered}

The suspect is 68.9 inches high.

Convert this height to feet:

68.9in\cdot(\frac{1ft}{12in})=5.74ft

The suspect is 5.74 feet high.

What is the probability that if you multiply two randomly-selected two-digit whole numbers, the result is greater than 100 and l
ohaa [14]

Answer:

4/675

Step-by-step explanation:

There can be 90  two-digit numbers ranging from 10 to 99. There will be

90 x 90= 8100 possibilities of randomly selecting and combining 2 entire two-digit numbers, if we find ax b to be distinct from bx a. When 10 is first chosen, there may be 9 two-digit numbers that could be combined within the required range for a product When 11 is chosen first, then the second two-digit number has 9 possibilities. 12 has seven options; 13 has six options; 14 has five options; 15 has four options; 16 has three options; 17 has two options; 18 has 2 options; and 19 has one option. It provides us 48 total choices so the likelihood that the combination of two randomly chosen two-digit whole numbers is one of theses  these possibilities is thus 48/8100 = 4/675.

What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (-6, -3) to
melamori03 [73]

Given:

A point divides a directed line segment from (-6, -3) to (5,8) into a ratio of 6 to 5.

To find:

The coordinates of that point.

Solution:

Section formula: If point divides a line segment in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are

Point=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)

A point divides a directed line segment from (-6, -3) to (5,8) into a ratio of 6 to 5. Using section formula, we get

Point=\left(\dfrac{6(5)+5(-6)}{6+5},\dfrac{6(8)+5(-3)}{6+5}\right)

Point=\left(\dfrac{30-30}{11},\dfrac{48-15}{11}\right)

Point=\left(\dfrac{0}{11},\dfrac{33}{11}\right)

Point=\left(0,3\right)

Therefore, the coordinates of the required point are (0,3).

I need help to solve please
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

<h2><em><u>x = 52</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Known:</u></em>

What to find = x

Exterior angle = 142

Right angle = 90

<em><u>Unknown:</u></em>

what unknown value is = ?

Interior angle = ?

<em><u>1. Find the angle of the interior angles.</u></em>

180 - 142 = 38

<em><u>2. Add the two known angles</u></em>

38 + 90 = 128

<em><u>3. Subtract from 180</u></em>

180 - 128 = 52

<h2><em><u>x = 52 is the answer.</u></em></h2>

Hope this helped,
