Answer:

The  height of the building is 73.2\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

tan(38\°)=\frac{BC}{AB}

we have

AB=63\ ft

substitute and solve for BC

tan(38\°)=\frac{BC}{63}

BC=(63)tan(38\°)=49.2\ ft

Find the height of the building

The  height of the building (h) is equal to

h=BC+24=49.2+24=73.2\ ft

We are given with
x = 15%
n = 14

and asked to get the probability that none are turned to the show
u = 0

Using the formula for the z-score
z = x - u / s
where x and u are given
s is supposed to be given as well

If there is a value of s, substitute the values and solve for z
Then, refer to the z-score table (one-tailed) to determine probability basin on the z-score.

In a group of 50 students 38 play chess and 24 play scrabble. How many plays both chess and scrabble.
Grace [21]

Answer:

12

Solve:

to solve, first add both partial numbers together

38 + 24 = 62

then subtract the whole number

62 - 50 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

the way this works is the overflow when adding the two numbers, is the amount of students that do both, they count in both groups meaning their counted twice, this means that if each student dropped a coin for what they played (1 for chess and/or 1 for scrabble) the 12 students who played both would drop two coins

not a professional explanation but i hope it makes sense ^^

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

D 133 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of an angle external to a circle = the difference of the two arcs intercepted divided by 2

47  = [ (360 - x) - x ] / 2

94 = 360 - 2x

x = 133 degrees of the arc
