The path of a satellite orbiting the earth causes it to pass directly over two tracking stations A and 8, which are 60 mi apart.

When the satellite is on one side of the two stations, the angles of elevation at A and B are measured to be 87.0 degree and 84.2 degree, respectively. (Round your answers to the nearest mile.)
(a) How far is the satellite from station A?
mi
(b) How high is the satellite above the ground?
mi

Answer:

(a)  2 miles

 (b)  2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance of the satellite from Station A = |AC|

Let the height of the Satellite from the ground = |DC|

(a) Using size rule on triangle ABC, we can find the value of AC with the following relationship:

|AC|/ Sin 84.2 = 10/ Sin 8.8

|AC| = 10 x (Sin 84.2/Sin 8.8)

         =   10 x 0.1529

        =1.529 miles

        = 2 miles (to the nearest mile)

(b) To calculate the |DC|, we apply the relationship of right-angle triangle ADC:

Sin 87 =   |DC|/ 1.529

|DC|   = 1.529 Sin 87

           = 1.526 miles

           = 2 miles (to the nearest mile)

Bag A contains 3 red balls and 3 blue balls.
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

30% probability that the ball taken from B is red.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

Red ball from urn A:

3/6 = 1/2 probability of getting a red ball from urn A.

Then urn B will have 5 balls, 2 of which are red, so 2/5 probability of getting a red ball.

Blue ball from urn A:

3/6 = 1/2 probability of getting a blue ball from urn A.

Then urn B will have 5 balls, 1 of which is red, so 1/5 probability of getting a red ball.

Total:

p = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{5} + \frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{10} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{3}{10}

3/10 = 0.3 = 30%.

30% probability that the ball taken from B is red.

THE AP CALCULUS EXAM SCORES WERE RELEASED IN JULY. THE SECONDARY MATH SPECIALIST PREPARED THE BOX PLOT SHOWN TO PRESENT THE SCOR
Ganezh [65]

Answer : option A

To find the range of scores that represents the middle 50 % of the student who took the test , we find inter quartile

Inter quartile range is the middle 50% of the given range of scores.

The difference between the upper quartile and lower quartile is the inter quartile that is middle 50%

From the diagram , we can see that

Upper quartile = 89

lower quartile = 65

So range is 65%  to 89%
