The triangle's height is 1.5 times the base's length. If the height is 18 ft, what is the area?

Mathematics

Valentin [98]3 years ago

Answer:

108

Step-by-step explanation:

let the base = x

height = 1.5x

18=1.5x

x=18/1.5 =12ft

thus,

height = 18ft

base=12ft

area = 1/2*(height*base)

=0.5*12*18

=108  feets square

Construct the discrete probability distribution for the random variable described. Express the probabilities as simplified fract
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

P(X = 0) = 0.03125

P(X = 1) = 0.15625

P(X = 2) = 0.3125

P(X = 3) = 0.3125

P(X = 4) = 0.15625

P(X = 5) = 0.03125

Step-by-step explanation:

For each toss, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is tails, or it is not. The probability of a toss resulting in tails is independent of any other toss, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Fair coin:

Equally as likely to be heads or tails, so p = 0.5

5 tosses:

This means that n = 5

Probability distribution:

Probability of each outcome, so:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.03125

P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.15625

P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.3125

P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.3125

P(X = 4) = C_{5,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.15625

P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.03125

A ship leaves port at 10 miles per hour, with a heading of N 35° W. There is a warning buoy located 5 miles directly north of th
Leno4ka [110]

The value of the angle subtended by the distance of the buoy from the

port is given by sine and cosine rule.

  • The bearing of the buoy from the is approximately <u>307.35°</u>

Reasons:

Location from which the ship sails = Port

The speed of the ship = 10 mph

Direction of the ship = N35°W

Location of the warning buoy = 5 miles north of the port

Required: The bearing of the warning buoy from the ship after 7.5 hours.

Solution:

The distance travelled by the ship = 7.5 hours × 10 mph = 75 miles

By cosine rule, we have;

a² = b² + c² - 2·b·c·cos(A)

Where;

a = The distance between the ship and the buoy

b = The distance between the ship and the port = 75 miles

c = The distance between the buoy and the port = 5 miles

Angle ∠A = The angle between the ship and the buoy = The bearing of the ship = 35°

Which gives;

a = √(75² + 5² - 2 × 75 × 5 × cos(35°))

By sine rule, we have;

\displaystyle \frac{a}{sin(A)} = \mathbf{ \frac{b}{sin(B)}}

Therefore;

\displaystyle sin(B)= \frac{b \cdot sin(A)}{a}

Which gives;

\displaystyle sin(B) = \mathbf{\frac{75 \cdot sin(35^{\circ})}{\sqrt{75^2 + 5^2 - 2 \times 75\times5\times cos(35^{\circ}) } }}

\displaystyle B = arcsin\left( \frac{75 \cdot sin(35^{\circ})}{\sqrt{75^2 + 5^2 - 2 \times 75\times5\times cos(35^{\circ}) } }\right) \approx 37.32^{\circ}

Similarly, we can get;

\displaystyle B = arcsin\left( \frac{75 \cdot sin(35^{\circ})}{\sqrt{75^2 + 5^2 - 2 \times 75\times5\times cos(35^{\circ}) } }\right) \approx \mathbf{ 142.68^{\circ}}

The angle subtended by the distance of the buoy from the port, <em>C</em> is therefore;

C ≈ 180° - 142.68° - 35° ≈ 2.32°

By alternate interior angles, we have;

The bearing of the warning buoy as seen from the ship is therefore;

Bearing of buoy ≈ 270° + 35° + 2.32° ≈ <u>307.35°</u>

Simplify the Expression<br> - 1/2 (8b+3)+3b=
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

-b -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/2(8b+3) + 3B (a negative times a positive equals a negative)

1. Mutiply -1/2 by 8b and then by 3

(-1/2 x 8b -1/2 x 3) + 3b

-4b - 3/2 + 3b

2.  Add -4b + 3b = -b

-b - 3/2
