Answer:

h = 61.83 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

length of string from Hector to kite = c = 86 feet.

and 4 feet off the ground.

angle A = 42° 15' 30"

req'd:  how high is the kite?

angle A = 42° + 15' (1° / 60') + 30"(1° / 3600'')

angle A = 42.26

to get the side a (height of kite) 4 feet above ground: use Sin(A) = opp / hyp

Sin(A) = a / c

Sin(42.26) = a / 86

a = Sin(42.26) * 86

a = 57.83 feet

therefore, the height of the kite from the ground = h = 57.83 + 4

h = 61.83 feet

Answer:

Estimate of the standard error of the mean = 0.38 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 10.87 lb

Sample size, n = 131

Standard deviation, σ = 4.31 lb

We have ti find the estimate of the standard error of the mean.

Formula for standard error:

S.E= \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Putting values, we get,

S.E = \dfrac{4.31}{\sqrt{131}} = 0.3766 \approx 0.38

0.38 lb is the standard error of the mean.

How do I write 23/50 as a decimal?
masha68 [24]
A fraction is just a short way to write a division problem.

Every fraction really means

                       (the top number) divided by (the bottom number).

When you actually do the division, the quotient is the decimal for the fraction.

To find the decimal for 23/50,  divide 23 by 50 .

ozzi

Answer:

d = 0.0625 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity of an object dropped from a tall building is given by :

v=\sqrt{64d}

Where

d is the distance in feet

We need to find the distance when the velocity is 32 ft/s

Rearranging for d,

v^2=64d\\\\d=\dfrac{64}{v^2}

Put v = 32 ft/s

d=\dfrac{64}{32^2}\\\\d=0.0625\ m

So, the required distance is 0.0625 m.
