A building 50 ft casts a 75 ft shadow. Sarah casts a 6ft shadow. The triangle formed by the building and its shadow is similar t

<span>Since the triangles are similar, the side lengths are proportional. In other words, if a 50 foot building makes a 75 foot shadow, that is a ratio of 50/75, or 2/3 if you reduce it. This is the same ratio that describes Sarah's height, S, compared to her shadow, which the problem says is 6 feet long. So 2/3 = S / 6 You can cross multiply to find S... 12 = 3S..... so S = 4 feet tall... Sarah is 4 feet tall.</span>

The point (1, −1) is on the terminal side of angle θ, in standard position. What are the values of sine, cosine, and tangent of
defon
The abscissa of the ordered pair, that is the x-coordinate, is equal to 1 and the ordinate, the y-coordinate, is equal to -1. In the cartesian plane, this point lies in the fourth (IV) quadrant. The standard position of the angle is that which has one of its side is in the x-axis.

Solve for the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed.
           h = sqrt((-1)² + (1)²) = √2
Below items show the calculation for each of the trigonometric functions.

 sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse = y/h = (-1)/(√2) = -√2/2
 cos  θ = adjacent/hypotenuse = x/h = (1)/√2 = √2/2
tan θ = opposite/adjacent = y/x = -1/1 = -1

Bob's car rental company makes you pay 10 dollars per day you rent the car and a 30 dollar insurance fee

joe's car rental company makes you pay 30 dollars per day you rent the car and a 10 dollar insurance fee

how many days do you need to rent a car for the cost for renting both are the same

bob=10x+30
joe=30x+10
set each to each other
10x+30=30x+10
subtract 10x
30=20x+10
subtract 10
20=20x
divide both sides by 20
1=x
you need to rent 1 day for them to be equal

A statistics instructor believes that fewer than 20% of Evergreen Valley College (EVC) students attended the opening night midni
Alex17521 [72]

Answer: It is believed that exactly 20% of Evergreen Valley college students attended the opening night midnight showing of the latest harry potter movie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n = 84

x = 11

So, \hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}=\dfrac{11}{84}=0.13

p = 0.20

So, hypothesis:

H_0:p=\hat{p}\\\\H_a:\hat{p}

so, test statistic value would be

z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\\\z=\dfrac{0.13-0.20}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.2\times 0.8}{84}}}\\\\z=-1.604

At 1% level of significance, critical value would be

z= 2.58

Since 2.58>-1.604

So, We will accept the null hypothesis.

Hence, It is believed that exactly 20% of Evergreen Valley college students attended the opening night midnight showing of the latest harry potter movie.
