Answer:

306.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure .

A surveyor moves 160 feet away from the base of the pole i.e. ED = 160 m

Referring the image .

AC=ED=160 m

A transit i.e. AE is 6 feet tall.

AE = CD=6 feet

With a transmit the angle of elevation to the top of the pole to be 62° i.e. ∠BAC = 62°

To Find BC , use tigonometric ratio.

Tan\theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

Tan 62^{\circ}=\frac{BC}{AC}

Tan 62^{\circ}=\frac{BC}{160}

1.88*160=BC

300.8=BC

Now, the height of the pole = BC+CD =300.8+6=306.8 feet

Hence the height of the pole is 306.8 feet

It is false because what you need is to multiply 3 x 929.03 and then you get the right value. That is the reason why.

RSB [31]

Answer:

missing side: 133 cm

Explanation:

Provided <u>2 length sides</u> and <u>one angle</u> also need to find <u>one missing side</u>.

So, use cosine rule:

⇒ a² = b² + c² - 2bc cos(A)

<u>Insert values</u>

⇒ g² = 166² + 147² - 2(166)(147) cos(50)

⇒ g² = 17794.3935

⇒ g = √17794.3935

⇒ g = 133.3956

⇒ g = 133          (rounded to nearest whole number)

A jar contains 18 apple lollipops, 7 strawberry lollipops, and 10 grape lollipops. Irvin randomly selects a lollipop, gives it t
BabaBlast [244]
First  choice is  "1 of 10 grape lollipops from 35 lollipops"  
The probablity is 10/35 = 2/7 
Second choice is  "1 of 18 apple lollipops from 34 lollipops"  
So probablity is 18/34 = 9/17 
Between this is  AND so you have to these probablities multiply:
P(A) = 2/7 * 9/17 = 18/119 
P(A) = 18/119 * 100% = 1800/119 %
It is approximaly <span>15,1 %.
