Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

We will be using Pythagoras theorem to solve this problem. This is as this problem forms a right-angle triangle. Pythagoras theorem is the following:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where c = hypotenuse of right-angle triangle

Where a and b = other two sides of right-angle triangle

To begin with, we will substitute the values from the problem into the equation. Then we will make the height of the tree the subject of the equation.

a = height of tree = ?

b = distance from the bird on the ground to the base of the tree = 8 metres

c = distance bird travelled from the ground to the top of the tree = 9 metres

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 8^2 = 9^2

a^2 = 9^2 - 8^2

a = square root of ( 9^2 - 8^2 )

a = square root of ( 81 - 64 )

a = square root of ( 17 )

a = 4.123...

a = 4.1 ( rounded to the nearest tenth )

FINAL ANSWER:

Therefore, the height of the tree is 4.1 metres ( rounded to the nearest tenth ).

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

a) 0.2

b) 0.2

c) 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $S$ be the event "the car stops at the signal.

In the attached figure you can see a tree describing all possible scenarios.

For the first question the red path describes stopping at the first light but not stopping at the second. We can determine the probability of this path happening by multiplying the probabilities on the branches of the tree, thus

$P(a)=0.4\times0.5=0.2$
