Answer:

  105.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent ratio is the ratio of the side opposite an angle to the adjacent side in a right triangle. Here, the side opposite the angle is the tower height, and the adjacent side is the distance to the tower. Then the appropriate relationship is ...

  tan(38°) = (tower height)/(135 ft)

Multiplying by the denominator gives ...

  tower height = (135 ft)·tan(38°) ≈ 105.473 ft

The height of the tower is about 105.5 feet.

The sample proportion is expressed Mathematically as ;

phat = x / n

x = number of subjects with a specified characteristic ;

n = total sample size

For instance ;

The proportion of black balls in a sample of 100 balls is 15 ; the sample proportion of bla k balls will be :

phat = x / n = 15 / 100 = 0.15

What is the exact value of cos 45° ?
Georgia [21]
Let the two sides of a right triangle be equal to one, which means that the hypotenuse is √2

Since cosa=adjacent side / hypotenuse

cos45=1/√2

We can rationalize the denominator by multiplying numerator and denominator by √2

√(2)/2

or if you prefer:  √(1/2)

Delia has 3 5/8 yards of ribbon. About how many 1/4 yard-long pieces can she cut?
grin007 [14]

Answer: There are 14 long pieces she can cut.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of yards of ribbon is given by

3\frac{5}{8}\ yards\\\\=\frac{29}{8}\ yards

Length of yards of ribbon pieces need to be cut is given by

\frac{1}{4}\ yards

Number of yards is given by

\frac{\frac{29}{8}}{\frac{1}{8}}\\\\=\frac{29}{2}\\\\=14.5\\\\=14

Hence, there are 14 long pieces she can cut.
