Answer: It is about 23 feet.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's call <em>x</em> the height of the mast.

2. You know that the rope is attached to a point 6 feet from the base of the mast and the rope is 24 feet long, therefore, you can draw the right triangle shown in the figure attached.

3. To calculate <em>x</em>, you must apply the Pythagorean Theorem as you can see below:

x=\sqrt{(24ft)^{2}-(6ft)^{2}}\\x=\sqrt{540ft^{2}}

x≈ 23ft

What is the surface area of the triangular prism?​
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

<h3>The surface area of the prism is A prism=204m2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is the space that is contained in a two-dimensional figure.

Surface area is the total area of all of the sides and faces of a three-dimensional figure.  

To find the surface area, the area of each face is calculated and then add these areas together.

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width .

From the graph the length of the rectangle is 10 m and the width is 8 m. Therefore, the area of the bottom face is

From the graph the length of the rectangle is 10 m and the width is 5 m. Therefore, the area of one of the rectangular side faces is

To find the area of a triangle use the following formula  where b is the base and h is the height.

From the graph the base of the triangle is 8 m and the height is 3 m. Therefore, the area of one of the triangular faces is

The surface area of the prism is the sum of the area of the bottom face, the area of the two rectangular side faces, and the area of the two triangular faces

Given the following winning percentages of the teams in a league (for a single year) compute the within-season standard deviatio
Masja [62]

Answer:

(b) 0.251

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Standard deviation equation:

SD=\sqrt{\frac{\sum\limits^N_i {(x_{i}-X)^{2}  } }{N} }

Where X is the mean of the data, and N the amount of data. Then, N=5

2. Estimate the Mean:

X=\frac{0.750+0.750+0.200+0.600+0.200}{5}=\frac{2.5}{5}=0.5\\

3. Caclulate Standard deviation:

SD=\sqrt{\frac{{(0.750-0.500)^{2}+(0.750-0.500)^{2}+(0.200-0.500)^{2}+(0.600-0.500)^{2}+(0.200-0.500)^{2}  } }{5} }

SD=\sqrt{\frac{0.315}{5} }=\sqrt{0.063}\\SD=0.251
