A steep mountain is inclined 74 degree to the horizontal and rises to a height of 3400 ft above the surrounding plain. A cable c

ar is to be installed running to the top of the mountain from a point 840 ft out in the plain from the base of the mountain. Find the shortest length of cable needed. Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Answer:

3854ft

Step-by-step explanation:

By assuming that the cable is not doubled.

in order to find the length of the base of the mountain

tan74°=3400/x

x= 3400/tan74°

x≈ 975ft

Therefore, the length of the cable equals to

            =\sqrt{3400^2+(975 + 840)^2}

length≈ 3854ft

Thus, the shortest length of cable needed is 3854ft

What is the radius of a circle whose endpoints of a diameter are A(-4, 14) and B (2,8)​
kupik [55]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3√2

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the diameter is given by the distance formula:

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((2 -(-4))² +(8 -14)²) = √(36 +36) = 6√2

The radius is half the diameter, so the radius of your circle is 3√2.

The probability that a farmer is in debt is 0.700. The probability that a farmer is in debt and also lives in the Midwest is 0.2
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

P(debt) = P(D) = Probability of being in debt = 0.7

P(debt n Midwest) = P(Dn M) = probability of being in debt and lives in Midwest = 0.280

The probability that a randomly selected farmer lives in the Midwest given that he is in debt is?

P(M | D) = p(D n M) / p(D)

P(M | D) = 0.280 / 0.7

P(M | D) = 0.4

PLEASE HELP! I ONLY HAVE 15 MINS! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! 20 POINTS! Suppose N coins lie heads up on a table. In one turn, you can
Romashka [77]

Answer: it is only possible if N = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

if you have N  heads up coins.

turn one, you turn N -1 coins up.

Now you have N - 1 coins tails up and one coin heads up.

Second turn, you turn N - 1 coins, (if you select the same N - 1 coins as before, you will end in the initial situation, so now we will change one coin, this time we will select the coin that is still heads up and we will leave one of the tails up unchanged)

Then we have N - 2 coins heads up and 2 coins tails up.

Now, we can select any N -1 coins to flip, and we will end with with N - 1 coins tail up and 1 coin heads up.

and this cycle will repeat.

Then the only situation is having N = 2.

Becuase when we have N -2 coins heads up and 2 coins tails up we will have: N - 2 = 0, so we have 0 coins heads up and 2 coins tails up.

This means that the statement is only true if N = 2.
