This is the concept of trigonometry, the distance of Lily from the tower will be given by:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
opposite=1450 ft
adjacent=x ft
theta=15.7
thus;
1450/x=tan15.7
hence;
x=1450/tan15.7
x=5,158.54 ft
x=5,159 (to the nearest foot)

Write in decimal form:4 x 100 +2 x 10+4 X 1 +7 (1/10) +7 x (1/100) +0 x (1/1000)
Helga [31]

This number is written in extended form. Each multiplication determines the place the digit is in the number you have to determine.

4*100 → This indicates that the first digit of the number is in the place of the "hundreds", if you solve the multiplication the result is 400

2*10 → This multiplication indicates that the second digit of the number is in the place of the "tens", the result of the multiplication is 20

4*1 → This multiplication indicartes that the third digit of the number represents the "units", te result of the multiplication is 4

After the units you have to put the decimal point and all digits below it will be decimal values.

7*(1/10) → The first digit after the decimal point is in the "tenths" place, you can write it as 0.7

7*(1/100) → This indicates that this digit is in the second place after the decimal dot, in the "hundredths" place, you can write it as 0.07

0*(1/1000)→ The multiplication indicates that the digit is in the third place after the decimal dot, in the "thousands" place, you can write it as 0.000

To write the number in decimal form you have to put each digit in their given order, or add the result of each multiplicatin toghether:

400+20+4+0.7+0.07+0.000

424.770

A bag contains 30 lottery balls numbered 1-30 a ball is selected replaced then another is drawn find each probability
iogann1982 [59]
#1) 5/20
#2) 7/300
#3) 3/50
#4) 5/20

Explanation
For #1:
There are 15 even numbers out of 30.  Since it is replaced before drawing the second ball, there will be 15 odd numbers out of 30.  This gives us
15/30(15/30) = 225/900 = 5/20.

For #2:
There is 1 7 out of 30; then there are 14 numbers greater than 16 out of 30:
1/30(14/30) = 14/900 = 7/300

For #3:
There are 6 multiples of 5 out of 30; then there are 9 prime numbers out of 30:
6/30(9/30) = 54/900 = 3/50

For #4:
There are 15 even numbers out of 30; then there are still 15 even numbers out of 30:
15/30(15/30) = 225/900 = 5/20
