Let tree's height = h

h/80 = tan 30
⇒ h = 80 tan 30
⇒ h = 80 * 1/√3
⇒ h = 46.19 ft

Wa=0.5Wb, Ha=20, Hb is unkown
the area of rectangle a is : Wa*20
the area of rectangle b is : Wb*Hb
Rectangle a has 7 times the area of rectangle b: Wa*20=7*Wb*Hb
Replace Wa with 0.5Wb: 0.5Wb*20=7Wb*Hb => Hb=10/7

The mathematics department of a college has 6 male professors, 9 female professors, 5 male teaching assistants, and 6 female tea

Hitman42 [59]

Given:

6 male professores

9 female professores

5 male teaching assistants

6 female teaching assistants

Sol:.

$N(A\text{ or B)=N(A)+N(B)-N(A and B)}$

N (professors)

$\begin{gathered} =6+9 \\ =15 \end{gathered}$

N(Male)

$\begin{gathered} =6+5 \\ =11 \end{gathered}$

N(professors and male)

$=6$

N(professors OR male) = N(professors) + N(males) -N(professor OR male)

$\begin{gathered} N(\text{ Professors OR male)=15+11-6} \\ =20 \end{gathered}$

N(People to choose from)

$\begin{gathered} =6+9+5+6 \\ =26 \end{gathered}$

Then probablitiy is:

$\begin{gathered} =\frac{20}{26} \\ =\frac{10}{13} \end{gathered}$

Then the probability is 10/13
