Use pythagoras teorem

10^2 = 3^2 + x^2

x^2 = 100 - 9 = 91

x = 9.54 feet to nearest hundredth

What is the measure of angle R?

tigry1 [53]

Option B:

25 degrees

Solution:

Given data in triangle PQR,

The side opposite to angle P is p.

The side opposite to angle Q is q.

The side opposite to angle R is r.

q = 36, r = 20, angle Q = 50°.

<u>To find the measure of angle R:</u>

Using law of sine,

$$\frac{a}{\sin A}=\frac{b}{\sin B}=\frac{c}{\sin C}$

$$\Rightarrow\frac{p}{\sin P}=\frac{q}{\sin Q}=\frac{r}{\sin R}$

Take only two sides.

$$\Rightarrow\frac{q}{\sin Q}=\frac{r}{\sin R}$

Substitute the given values.

$$\Rightarrow\frac{36}{\sin 50^\circ}=\frac{20}{\sin R}$

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow36\times\sin R = \sin50^\circ\times20$

sin 50° = 0.766

$\Rightarrow36\times\sin R = 0.766\times20$

$\Rightarrow36\times\sin R = 15.32$

$$\Rightarrow\sin R = \frac{15.32}{36}$

$$\Rightarrow\sin R = 0.4255$

$$\Rightarrow R = \sin^{-1}(0.4255)$

⇒ R = 25.18°

⇒ R = 25° (approximately)

Option B is the correct answer.

Hence the measure of angle R is 25 degrees.

One ball is to be selected from a box containing red, white, blue, yellow, and green balls. If the probability that the selected

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

30% probability that it will be yellow, or green

Step-by-step explanation:

The urn has red, white, blue, yellow, and green balls.

Each ball is chosen with the following probabilities:

1/10 = 10% probability it is red

2/5 = 40% probability it is white

1/5 = 20% probability it is blue.

p probability it is yellow or green

What is the probability that it will be yellow, or green

The sum of all probabilities is 100%. So

10 + 40 + 20 + p = 100

p = 30

30% probability that it will be yellow, or green
