Answer:

343.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The wire is anchored 190 -13 = 177 ft from the ground. That distance is opposite the given angle (31°). The measure you want is the hypotenuse of the triangle with that side and angle measures.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the relation between the opposite side, hypotenuse, and angle is ...

Sin(angle) = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Filling in the given information, you have ...

sin(31°) = (177 ft)/hypotenuse

Solving for hypotenuse gives

hypotenuse = (177 ft)/sin(31°) ≈ 343.7 ft

The length of the guy wire should be 343.7 ft.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Therefore, we conclude that the statement in (A) is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following sentences:

A) If the probability of an event occurring is​ 1.5, then it is certain that event will occur.  

B) If the probability of an event occurring is​ 0, then it is impossible for that event to occur.

We know that the range of probability of an event occurring is in the segment [0, 1]. In statement under (A), we have the probability that  is equal to 1.5.

Therefore, we conclude that the statement in (A) is incorrect.
