This will solved using the concept of proportionality:
(height of the cliff)/(height of the pole)=(base of the cliff)/(length from base of pole to the rope)
thus, let the height of the cliff be x, plugging the values in the formula we obtain:
x/6=86/7
hence solving for x we get
x=(86×6)/7
x=73.71 ft

You offer senior citizens a 20% discount on their tune-ups at your gas station. Assuming that an average of 50 senior citizens g
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Percentage of discount given to senior citizens for tune-ups at the gas station = 20%
Average number of senior citizens visiting the gas station per month = 50
Average price of tune-up before discount = $49.95
Total amount that would
have been collected before discount = 49.95 * 50
                                                           = 2497.50 dollars
Total amount of discount given = (20/100) * 2497.50
                                                  = 499.50 dollars
I hope that the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

Suppose that a recent poll of American households about car ownership found that for households with a car, 39% owned a sedan, 3
Dimas [21]

Let the total number of cars = 100

Total of sedan, van and sports cars = 39+33+7 = 79

Number of other cars = 100 - 79 = 21.

Let A be the event of owning a sedan,

B be the event of owning a van and

C be the event of owning a sports car.

D be the event of owning other cars.

Then, p(A) = \frac{39}{100}

p(B)=\frac{33}{100} and

p(C) = \frac{7}{100}

p(D) = \frac{21}{100}

Now,

p(non selection of van) = p(A ∪ C ∪ D)

= p(A) + p(C) + p(D)

=\frac{39}{100} +\frac{7}{100} +\frac{21}{100}

=\frac{67}{100}

= 0.67

The probability of none of the three selections would be a van is:

0.67 × 0.67 × 0.67

= 0.300763

=0.301

Hence, the correct option is (D).

If the equation of a circle is (x +5)^ + (y-7)^ =36, it’s radius is ?
inessss [21]
If I am guessing the exponent correctly for your equation and it really is :

(x+5)² + (y-7)² = 36

then your answer would be answer choice A(6)
