The building would be 100ft tall. You have to take 20/6 = ?/30 The difference between 6 and 30 is x5. Then all you have to do is 20x5 and you get 100ft.

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one:

(1)
The triangle shows and equilateral triangle. Equilateral triangle has the same length of sides and angles.
60 = 1.5x
x = 40 degrees

7.1 = y + 3.4
y = 3.7 cm

(2) Isosceles Triangle
65 = 13x
x = 5 degrees

y + 2/3 = 7/8
y = 7/8 - 2/3
y = 21 - 16 / 24
y = 5/24 in

(3)
12 = x + 3.8
x = 8.2mm

At a carnival, contestants are asked to keep rolling a pair of dice until they roll snake eyes. The number of rolls needed has a

Stells [14]

Answer:

The two numbers of rolls are 25.2 and 46.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Chebyshev's theorem states that, if X is a r.v. with mean µ and standard deviation σ, then for any positive number k, we have

$P (|X -\mu| < k\sigma) \geq (1-\frac{1}{k^{2}})$

Here

$(1-\frac{1}{k^{2}})=0.75\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{k^{2}}=0.25\\\\\Rightarrow k=\sqrt{\frac{1}{0.25}}\\\\\Rightarrow k=2$

Then we know that,

$|X - \mu| \geq k\sigma,\\\\ \Rightarrow \mu - k\sigma \leq X \leq \mu + k\sigma$ .

Here it is given that mean (µ) = 36 and standard deviation (σ) = 5.4.

Compute the two values between which at least 75% of the contestants lie as follows:

$P(\mu - k\sigma \leq X \leq \mu + k\sigma)=0.75\\\\P(36 - 2\cdot\ 5.4 \leq X \leq 36 + 2\cdot\ 5.4)=0.75\\\\P(25.2\leq X\leq 46.8)=0.75$

Thus, the two numbers of rolls are 25.2 and 46.8.
