Mathematics

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the two triangles are similar, and are in a 17:1 ration since 51/3 = 17

Now we can set up the equation

144-x = 17x

adding x to both sides we get

144 = 18x

dividing by 18 we get

x = 8

Now we plug x = 8 back in and get

144-8 = 136

Kipish [7]

Answer:

a. 80.83 ft b. 40.42 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h = height of pole = 70 ft, L = length of cable and x = distance of cable on ground to pole and Ф = angle between cable and ground.

a) How long is the cable?

Since L, h and x form a right-angled triangle with angle Ф and h being the opposite side to Ф and L being the hypotenuse side, by trigonometric ratios,

sinФ = h/L

L = h/sinФ

L = 70 ft/sin60°

L = 70 ft/0.8660

L = 80.83 ft

b) How far from the pole should the cable be attached to the ground?

Since L, h and x form a right-angled triangle with angle Ф and h being the opposite side to Ф and x being the adjacent side, by trigonometric ratios,

tanФ = h/x

x = h/tanФ

x = 70 ft/tan60°

x = 70 ft/1.7321

x = 40.42 ft

John buys a computer with a 20% discount. If he paid $760 for the computer, how much was the discount?
Mumz [18]
If there was 20% taken off you add 20% back on and that is how you will get your answer. So take 760 plus the 20% which gives you 912 dollars

A normal distribution has mean μ and standard deviation σ .An x-value is randomly selected from the distribution. Find P(μ−σ≤x≤μ
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected  x-value lies between μ − 2σ and μ is the  shaded area under the normal curve shown.  P(μ − 2σ ≤ x ≤ μ) = 0.135 + 0.34 = 0.475
