grin007 [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

distance TS ≈ 19 m (nearest meter)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point T is on the horizontal ground and the angle of elevation of the top R of a tower is 63° and the height of the tower is 38 m high. The illustration forms  a right angle triangle. The height RS of the tower is the opposite side of the triangle formed. The hypotenuse side of the triangle is the point from the ground T to the top of the tower R.  The adjacent side of the triangle is the side TS.

using tangential ratio

tan 63° = opposite/adjacent

tan 63° = 38/adjacent

cross multiply

adjacent tan 63° = 38

divide both sides by tan 63°

adjacent side = 38/tan 63°

adjacent side = 38/1.96261050551

adjacent side = 19.3619670807

distance TS ≈ 19 m (nearest meter)

A student flips a fair coin 6 times. Answer the following questions: 1. Suppose that after flipping the coin all six times the e
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

1. 7 outcomes.

2. 64 outcomes.

3. D and H

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The experimenter will record the total number of heads after flipping the coin 6 times, therefore, the possible outcomes are: the experimenter got 0 heads, the experimenter got 1 head,..., the experimenter got 6 heads. Therefore there are 7 possible outcomes: (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

2. If the experimenter records the result after each flip (H or T), for the first flip she has 2 results (heads or tails), for the second one she has 2 results, same for the third, fourth, fifth and sixth flip.

Therefore the possible outcomes are: (2)(2)(2)(2)(2)(2)=2^{6}=64.

3. Now the experimenter will end up the experiment earlier if she gets two tails or two heads in a row.

A.TTHTT is not possible because in this case she would've ended up the experiment after the second flip since she got two tails.

B.TTH is not possible either for the same reason.

C. HT is not possible because she still needs to get another T or two H in a row.

D. This is a possible outcome because in this one she flipped the coin 6 times and she didn't get two heads or two tails in a row so she didn't finish it earlier.

E. Is not possible because she should've stopped after the second flip.

F. Is not possible because it has 7 letters, therefore, 7 flips.

G. Is not possible because she should've stopped once she got heads in the fourth and fifth flip.

H. Is possible because she got heads in the second and  third flip.

1. Solve for the variable in the following proportion.
Ugo [173]

Answer:

1. 3

3. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write a proportion by writing each ratio as a fraction and setting the fractions equal. A proportion is an equation where two ratios are equal to each other. Then cross multiply denominator and numerator of each fraction to solve.

\frac{n}{.5} = \frac{6}{1}\\  1*n = 0.5*6\\n = 3

2. Repeat same process as #1.

3. The ratio of girls to boys is 3:2. There are 15 girls. write a proportion to solve using b as the number of boys.

\frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{b}\\  3*b = 2*15\\3b = 30 \\ b = 10

There are 10 boys.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Paul earned $2.6 more interest than Monica.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Monica:

Initial investment= $300

Interest rate= 4.2%

Paul:

Initial investment= $400

Interest rate= 3.8%

<u>To calculate the income earned, we need to use the following formula:</u>

I= P*r*t

P= principal

r= interest rate

t= time

Monica:

I= 300*0.042*1= $12.6

Paul:

I= 400*0.038*1= $15.2

Paul earned $2.6 more interest than Monica.
