the angle of depression is measured from the top of a 43 ft tower to a reference point on the ground. its value is found to be 6

An angle of depression is the angle of a slant to the upper horizontal line. The official definition is: <span>the </span>angle<span> formed by the line of sight and the horizontal plane for an object below the horizontal.

Thus, for this problem, we must use trigonometry. The tower is perpendicular to the upper horizontal and the ground, so after we draw a line connecting the points we get 90 - 63 = 27, which is one of the angles in the right triangle.

The other angles are ninety and 63. We wish to find the measure of the bottom of the triangle, so we use tangent which includes both legs.

Therefore, tan(27)=x/43. Plugging this into a calculator, we get roughly 21.9.

Hope this helped! It probably sounds a lot harder than it actually is without a picture.</span>

Let X denote a random variable which corresponds to the number of players in a team who get injured during a game. If we assume
Feliz [49]

Answer:

(a)

The values of X can be 0, 1, 2 , ..., 10 . So, X is a discrete random variable.

(b)

The distribution of X is Binomial distribution with the parameters n = 10 and p = 0.2

(c)

Probability that no one or one person will be injured = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

= 10C0 * 0.20 * (1 - 0.2)10-0 + 10C1 * 0.21 * (1 - 0.2)10-1

= 0.810 + 10 * 0.2 * 0.89

= 0.3758096

(d)

Average value of X = np

Average value of X = 10 * 0.2 = 2

(e)

Variance of X = np(1-p)

Variance of X = 10 * 0.2 * (1 - 0.2) = 1.6

(f)

Number of ways in which 2 people gets injured = 10C2 = 10! / ((10-2)! 2!) = (10 * 9) / (2 * 1) = 45

Assume the best player got injures, number of ways in which one people out of remaining 9 people gets injured = 9C1

= 9! / ((9-1)! 1!)

= 9

Probability that the best player got injured = Number of ways in which 1 people gets out of 9 and best person gets injured / Number of ways in which 2 people gets injured

= 9 / 45

= 0.2

Whoever gives me the correct answer to this will get a brainlest <br> I need the answer ASAP!
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Volume of cone= 1/3πr^2h

8842.24 m^3= 1/3πr^2h

1/3*3.14*33*r^2= 8842.24m^3

r^2 = 8842.24*3/3.14*33

r^2= 26526.72/103.62

r^2 = 256

r= √256

r= 16m

Hope it helps. Please mark brainliest.

Make the ratios equal. 9:25 = 36:?
satela [25.4K]

The equivalent ratio of 9:25 is 36:100.

Ratio expresses the degree of proportionality between two or more numbers. It expresses the number of times one number is contained in another number.  

In order to make the ratios equal, the relationship that exists between 9 and 36 has to be determined. 36 is a multiple of 9. It is 9 multiplied by 4. So, in order to make the ratios equal, multiply, 25 by 4.

25 x 4 = 100
