Answer: the length of the ladder should be 17.9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder would form a right angle triangle with the building and the ground. The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The height from the top of the ladder to the base of the building represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the base of the building represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

To determine the length of the ladder h, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

h² = 16² + 8² = 256 + 64

h² = 320

h = √320 = 17.9 feet

If m∠EBD= 4x - 8 and m∠EBC= 5x + 20, find the value of x and m∠EBC.
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

-28 = x

Step-by-step explanation

[5x + 20] + [4x - 8] = 180

9x + 12 = 180

- 12 -12

______________

9x = 168

18⅔ = x

m∠EBC = 5[18⅔] + 20 = 113⅓

93⅓

You will get a negative answer if you set them equal to each other, which is not allowed when you are talking about <em>length</em><em>.</em>

I hope this is correct, and as always, I am joyous to assist anyone at any time.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

a. Discrete probability distribution, frequent rider club, 0.65 of 20

b. 13

c. $60

d. $57.50

Step-by-step explanation:

a. X follows a discrete probability distribution because it involves discrete random variables which have probability mass function and frequency.

f(x) =0.65 of 20 passengers

b. if 0.65 0f 20 passengers are frequent riders,

then, the frequent riders will be 13 passengers

c. expected revenue will be $3 *20 passengers which will be $60.

the total number of passengers given tickets is 20 and the price for each is $3. thus, making the parameters to be price and number of passengers.

d. if the frequent riders are charged $2, then the amount paid by this group will be $2*13 which is $26

and if $4.50 is paid by the regular passengers it will be $4.50*(20-13) which is $31.50.

therefore, expected revenue will be $26+$31.50 equals $57.50
