We use trigonometry for this problem. You might have learned about SOH CAH TOA. In right triangles, when given an angle, you can name the three sides of the triangle a certain part: Opposite, Adjacent, and Hypotenuse.

For this problem, we are given the angle and the ADJACENT length (73). We want to find the OPPOSITE side's length.
TOA
We must use the tangent function.

TOA helps us remember this relationship:
tan( theta ) = opposite / adjacent.

Plug in our values:

tan(29 degrees) = opposite / 73

Multiply by 73 to isolate "opposite" and solve for it.

73 * tan(29) = opposite.

Using a calculator, the answer is approximately 40.46 ft.

A-attached earlobes a-unattached earlobes if a is the allele for having attached earlobes, what percentage of offspring will hav
Scorpion4ik [409]

The percentage of the offspring that will have atatched earlobes as the dominant trait, is: 50%.

What is a Dominant Trait?

A dominant trait surpresses a recessive trait, and expresses itself. The allele of a dominant trait is usally denoted using capital letters.

Given the following traits:

A - attached earlobes (dominant allele)

a - unattached earlobes (recessive allele)

A cross between Aa and aa is shown in the image attached below.

The offspring having attached earlobes = 2 Aa = 50%.

50% of the osspring will have attached earlobes.
