The distance of Erika from kite directly is 35.71 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the given situation as a right triangle with string as hypotenuse and the distance between both girls as base

So,

h = 50\ yards\\b = 35\ yards

As the triangle is a right triangle, we can use pythagoras theorem to solve this problem.

h^2 = b^2 + p^2\\p^2 = h^2 - b^2\\p^2 = (50)^2 - (35)^2\\p^2 = 2500-1225\\p^2 = 1275\\\sqrt{p^2} = \sqrt{1275}\\p = 35.707\ yards

Rounding off to nearest hundredth

=> 35.71 yards

Hence,

The distance of Erika from kite directly is 35.71 yards

How to make 2700 and 600 a fraction
devlian [24]
I think I may be missing something ... I don't completely understand your question. 
All you need to make a fraction is two numbers and a bar.  The bar can be either
horizontal or slanty.  Then you write one number on top and the other number on
the bottom, and bada-bing, you have a fraction.

You can make fractions like

             2700 / 600
                 27 / 6         
                   9 / 2           (all 3 of these have the same value)

             600 / 2700
                 6 / 27         
                 2 / 9              (all 3 of these have the same value)

The mathematics department of a college has 15 male professors, 9 female professors, 6 male teaching assistants, and 12 female t
Vesnalui [34]

Given:

The number of male professors = 15.

The number of female professors = 9.

The number of male teaching assistants = 6.

The number of female teaching assistants = 12.

A person is selected randomly from the group.

Required:

We need to find the probability that the selected person is a professor or a male.

Explanation:

The total number of people in the group = 15+9+6+12 = 42

n(S) =The total number of people in the group

n(S)=42

Let A be the event that the selected person is a professor or a male.

The number of people who are professors or male = 15+9+6 = 30

n(A)= The number of people who are professors or male.

n(A)=30

Let P(A) be the probability that the selected person is a professor or a male.

P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}P(A)=\frac{30}{42}P(A)=\frac{15}{21}=\frac{5}{7}

Final answer:

The probability that the selected person is a professor or a male is 5/7.
