Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

Using SOH CAH TOA

Tan angle = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Tan 5 = \frac{x}{4629}

x = 4629*Tan5

x = 4629*0.087488

x = 404.98

To the nearest meters, the height is 405 meters.   :  Answer

Hope it will help :)

Rewrite this non-statistical question as a statistical question. How many minutes do I exercise each day?
stira [4]

Answer:

The statistical question should be

"how many minutes do I exercise on each day of the week" and "how many minutes do I exercise each day of the week whilst there is background music"

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the non statistical question, how many minutes do I exercise each day

We note that a statistical question is one in which there are are different variety answers, where the distribution and the inclination of the the answers is sought

Therefore, statistically, we should ask, "how many minutes do I exercise on each day of the week" or "how many minutes do I exercise each day of the week whilst there is background music".

The position of a diving bell is −34−34 mile relative to sea level. the diving bell reached this position after dropping from se
ExtremeBDS [4]

since it travel at a constant speed. Calculate first its speed of descent.

S = -3/4 mile / 1 ½ hr

S = -0.5 mile an hour

So the position of the diving bell relative to sea level 1 hour after it began its descent is

D = (0.5 mile/ hr) x 1 hr = - 0.5 mile
