Let x represent length of the slide.

We have been given that Ron is designing a new slide for the amusement park in town. The slide makes an angle of 39 with the ground. The top of the slide  is to be 9 feet off the ground. We are asked to find the length of the slide.

The slide will make a right triangle with respect to ground, where length of the slide will be hypotenuse, and height of the slide will be perpendicular with ground.    

We know that sine relates opposite side of right triangle with hypotenuse.

\text{sin}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

\text{sin}(39^{\circ})=\frac{9}{x}

x=\frac{9}{\text{sin}(39^{\circ})}

x=\frac{9}{0.62932039105}

x=14.301141

Upon rounding to nearest foot, we will get:

x\approx 14

Therefore, the length of slide should be approximately 14 feet and option B is the correct choice.

The weights of newborn baby boys born at a local hospital are believed to have a normal distribution with a mean weight of 4016
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Required Probability = 0.97062

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the weights of newborn baby boys born at a local hospital are believed to have a normal distribution with a mean weight of 4016 grams and a standard deviation of 532 grams.

Let X = weight of the newborn baby, so X ~ N(\mu=4016 , \sigma^{2} = 532^{2})

The standard normal z distribution is given by;

              Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

Now, probability that the weight will be less than 5026 grams = P(X < 5026)

P(X < 5026) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{5026-4016}{532} ) = P(Z < 1.89) = 0.97062

Therefore, the probability that the weight will be less than 5026 grams is 0.97062 .

What is 7 1/12 - 2 3/4 in simplest form
stich3 [128]

7 1/12  -  2 3/4

First we have to change mixed numbers to improper fractions

7 1/12  =  7 x 12 + 1 = 85   85/12

2 3/4  =  2 x 4 + 3 =  11     11/4

 85/12 - 11/4

Now we need to find the LCD (least common denominator) for 4 and 12

4, 8, 12

12

12 is our LCD, so it becomes our new denominator

85/12 would stay the same because the denominator wasn't changed but for 11/4 our new denominator is 12, so our fraction will change.

11/4  =  33/12 

4 goes into 12, 3 times. What you do to the bottom, you do to the top.

3 x 11 = 33

3 x 4 = 12

So, our new fraction is 33/12.  Now we subtract

85/12  -  33/12  =  52/12

Now we convert back to a mixed number

52 ÷ 12 = 4 4/12 reduce

4 1/3

Hope this helps.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Miguel cabrera

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Miguel cabrera's batting average = 0.33

Mike trout's batting average = 0.326

The average for both players was obtained during the same season:

Hence. Comparing their respective averages,

0.33 = 0.330

0.330 > 0.326

Hence, Miguel Cabrera's batting average is higher than that of Mike trout
