Picture a right triangle whose hypotenuse is of unknown length.  Let's call that length L.  The triangle side opposite the 70 degree angle is then 20 feet.  I'd suggest you actually draw this triangle.

Then, using the definition of the sine function,

sin 70 deg = opp / hyp = (20 ft) / L.   Transforming this equation, L sin 70 deg = 20 ft.  Solving for L:

L = (20 ft) / (sin 70 deg) = 21.28 ft 

The ladder length must be 21.28 ft.

Um... it'll take each pipe 80 mins, bcz if together they take that long, then to find the pipes time separately, you just multiply it by two to show it doing the work the other pipe did as well. Is that what you wanted??

there are 18 black socks and 12 Navy socks in your drawer the room is dark and you cannot turn on the light what is the least nu
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To have the best chance of pulling a pair with the same color you should try to get a pair of black socks. There is a 3/5 chance of pulling a black sock so this means for every 5 socks you pull you get 3 black socks or 2 navy socks. Either way you will get a pair of socks with the same color. (Double check to make sure I'm correct)

Doug estimates that his soccer team will win 7 games this year. The team actually wins 10 games. What is the percent error of Do
baherus [9]

Answer: 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent error = \dfrac{|\text{Estimated value - Actual value}|}{\text{Actual value}}\times100\%

Estimated number of games win this year = 7

Actual number of games won = 10

Now ,   the percent error of Doug’s estimate = \dfrac{|7-10|}{10}\times100\%= \dfrac{3}{1}\times10\%=30\%

Hence, the percent error of Doug’s estimate = 30%

Static and Reasoning:
Serggg [28]

Based on the data recorded by Isabella, it can be concluded the cube is rather fair.

<h3>How many times did Isabella get each number?</h3>

Based on the data, here are the results:

  • Getting a 1: 6 times
  • Getting a 2: 5 times
  • Getting a 3: 7 times
  • Getting a 4: 5 times
  • Getting a 5: 6 times
  • Getting a 6: 7 times

This implies, in total Isabella got the same number between five and seven times. For example, the number 2 was obtained 5 times, but the number 3 was obtained 7 times.

<h3>What can be concluded based on the results?</h3>

Even though Isabella did not get the same number of times each number, the dice is rather fair because by rolling the dice thirty six times you will obtain the same number at least five times.

Moreover, there is not a big difference in the number of times you obtain each number.
