Answer:

407.22 foot is the boat from the base of the lighthouse

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement: An observer on top of a 50-foot tall lighthouse sees a boat at a 7° angle of depression.

Let x foot be the distance of the object(boat) from the base of the lighthouse

Angle of depression = 7^{\circ}

\angle CAB = \angle DCA = 7^{\circ}       [Alternate angle]

In triangle CAB:

To find AB = x foot.

Using tangent ratio:

\tan (\theta) = \frac{Opposite side}{Adjacent Base}

\tan (\angle CAB) = \frac{BC}{AB}

Here, BC = 50 foot and \angle CAB =7^{\circ}

then;

\tan (7^{\circ}) = \frac{50}{x}

or

x = \frac{50}{\tan 7^{\circ}}

x = \frac{50}{0.1227845609}

Simplify:

AB = x = 407.217321 foot

Therefore, the boat from the base of the light house is, 407.22'

Based on a​ poll, among adults who regret getting​ tattoos, 1212​% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos. Ass
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

0.3165

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial distribution problem

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = number of adults sampled = 9

x = Number of successes required = number of selected adults that say they were too young to get tattoos = 0

p = probability of success = probability of an adult that regrets getting a tattoo saying they were too young to get the tattoo = 12% = 0.12

q = probability of failure = 1 - p = 1 - 0.12 = 0.88

P(X=0) = ⁹C₀ (0.12)⁰ (0.88)⁹⁻⁰

P(X=0) = 0.31647838183 = 0.3165

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer:

<h2>A)x=3/2 y=½</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about:</h3>
  • system of linear equation
  • PEMDAS
<h3>let's solve:</h3>
  • since y is equal to both equation therefore we can substitute the value of y into the other equation
  1. \sf substitute \: the \: value \: of \: y :  \\  \sf  - x + 2 = 3x - 4
  2. \sf add \: x \: to \: both \: sides :  \\  \sf  - x + x + 2 = 3x + x - 4 \\  \sf 4x - 4 = 2
  3. \sf add \: 4 \: to \: both \: sides :  \\  \sf xx - 4 + 4 = 2 + 4 \\ 4x = 6
  4. \sf divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 4 :  \\  \frac{4x}{4}  =  \frac{6}{4}  \\ x =  \frac{3}{2}

let's figure out y

  1. substitute the got value of x into the second equation: y=3*3/2 -4
  2. simplify multiplication:9/2 -4
  3. simplify division:4.5-4
  4. substract:0.5 alternate form:y=½

It takes 9 builders 54 days to complete a house.
Dima020 [189]

It would take 6 builders  36 days to complete the same house.

<h3>Who are builders?</h3>

Builders are those person whose job is to build or repair houses and other buildings.

We have,

9 builders take 54 days to complete a house.

So,

1  builder will take  (\frac{54}{9})  days to complete a house,

In the same way,

6  builder will take  (\frac{54}{9}*6)  days to complete a house,

i.e.

6  builder   =(\frac{54}{9}*6)= 36 days.

Hence, we can say that it would take 6 builders  36 days to complete the same house.
