We are given : Distance of the swing = 100 feet.
Distance of slide = 80 feet.
Angle between swing and slide = 30 degrees.
We need to find the distance between the swing and the slide.
Distance of swing, distance of slide and distance between the swing and the slide form a triangle.
We can apply cosine law to find the distance between the swing and the slide.
c^2 = a^2 +b^2 - 2ab cos C
c^2 = 100^2 +80^2 - 2(100)(80) cos 30°
c^2 = 10000 + 6400 -2* 8000
c^2 = 16400 - 8000
c^2 = 16400 - 13856
c^2 = 2544
c= 50.44
c = 50 feet approximately.
<h3>Therefore, the approximate distance between the swing and the slide is 50 feet.</h3>
we know that
Sine or Cosine of a Half Angle is giving by the formulas
step 1
Find the value of Sin(30)
so
substitute the given values
cos(60)=1/2
step 2
Find the value of Cos(30)
substitute the given values in the formula above
step 3
Find the value of Cot(60)
REmember that
Cot=cos/sin
so
substitute
cot(60)=cos(60)/sin(60)
cot(60)=(1/2)/(V3/2)=V3/3
1. Introduction. This paper discusses a special form of positive dependence.
Positive dependence may refer to two random variables that have
a positive covariance, but other definitions of positive dependence have
been proposed as well; see [24] for an overview. Random variables X =
(X1, . . . , Xd) are said to be associated if cov{f(X), g(X)} ≥ 0 for any
two non-decreasing functions f and g for which E|f(X)|, E|g(X)|, and
E|f(X)g(X)| all exist [13]. This notion has important applications in probability
theory and statistical physics; see, for example, [28, 29].
However, association may be difficult to verify in a specific context. The
celebrated FKG theorem, formulated by Fortuin, Kasteleyn, and Ginibre in
[14], introduces an alternative notion and establishes that X are associated if
