The length of the island will be given as follows:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
thus:
tan75.8= 3000/a1
a1=3000tan75.8
a1=11855.885 ft

also:
tan15.6=3000/a2
a2=3000tan15.6
a2=837.62 ft
Thus the length of the island will be:
11855.885-837.615
=11,018.24 ft

If m 2 n, which inequalities must be true? Check all that apply.
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

(a)\ m+ 2.1 > n + 2.1

(b).\ m - (-4) > n - (-4)

(c)\ 9 +m> 6 + n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

m > n

Required

Select true inequalities

(a)\ m+ 2.1 > n + 2.1

Subtract 2.1 from both sides

m > n

This is true

(b).\ m - (-4) > n - (-4)

Open brackets

m + 4 > n + 4

Subtract 4 from both sides

m > n

(c)\ 9 +m> 6 + n

m> -9+6 + n

m> n-3

This is also true

In a normal bell shaped curve, approximately which percentage of scores fall within 3 standard deviation (-3 to +3) or blank (34
Leokris [45]

Let x represent the scores. With mean and standard deviation given,

The Empirical rule states that

1) About 68% of the x values lie between 1 standard deviation below and above the mean

2) About 95% of the x values lie between 2 standard deviation below and above the mean

3) About 99.7% of the x values lie between 3 standard deviation below and above the mean

If we consider this rule, then the percentage of scores that fall within 3 standard deviation (-3 to +3) is 99% because this is closer to 99.7%
