Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that three pairs of gloves- a red pair, a blue pair, and a green pair-are in a drawer.  The gloves are removed at random without returning any to the drawer.

We have to find the minimum number that must be removed in order to guarantee having a matched pair of gloves

No of different colours = 3 (red, blue, green)

Hence no of gloves that must be removed = 3+1

If 4 gloves are removed, only 3 can be of different colours 1 will have same colour as any one of the three.

So a pair of same colour would be obtained

Answer is 4

A person in a balloon which is 2,000 feet above the airport finds that the angle of depression to a ship out at sea is 21°. Find
maria [59]
The horizontal distance is given by the formula:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
where:
θ=21
opposite=2000 ft
adjacent=a
thus calculating for a we get:
tan 21=2000/a
thus
a=2000/tan 21
a=5210.18 ft

Answer: 5210.18 ft
