A flagpole at a right angle to the horizontal is located on a slope that makes an angle of 12° with the horizontal. The flagpol

eâs shadow is 16 meters long and points directly up the slope. The angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the sun is 20°.
1. Write an equation that can be used to find the height of the flagpole.

Answer:

\frac{h}{sin(32)} =\frac{16}{sin(70)}

Step-by-step explanation:

A flagpole at a right angle to the horizontal is located on a slope that makes an angle of 12 degree. The flagpole shadow is 16 meters long and points directly up the slope.

The diagram for the given problem is attached below

We need to find the height of flagpole h

Apply sine law

\frac{a}{sin(A)} =\frac{b}{sin(B)}

\frac{h}{sin(32)} =\frac{16}{sin(70)}

Required equation is

\frac{h}{sin(32)} =\frac{16}{sin(70)}

Can someone help me with the top 1-3. Using similar figures subject
katen-ka-za [31]
Answer: <M corresponds to <J
               <L corresponds to <O
               JL corresponds to MO 

To find the corresponding angles:
1. Look at the figures. 
<M is to <J, <N is to <K, and <O is to <L.

2. Look at the similarity statement. 
ΔMNO ~ ΔJKL. <M is to <J because they are the first letters.
ΔMNO ~ ΔJKL. <N is to <K because they are second letters.
ΔMNO ~ ΔJKL. <O is to <L because they are third letters.

Apply these two methods to find the corresponding sides.

Lisa is earning 7.50 dollars per hour she worked for 33 hours last week. how much money did she earn?
never [62]

Answer:

Lisa earned $247.50 for working 33 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

WAY 1: proportional reasoning

7.50 x

------ = ----

1 h 33h

33 / 1 = 33

7.50 x 33 = 247.5

WAY 2: unit rate reasoning

7.50 per hour so x value of money for 33 h

7.50 x 33 = 247.5

What is the inverse of f(x)=4x+3 ?
GaryK [48]
<h2>Steps:</h2>

Here are the steps to convert an equation to its inverse:

  1. Change f(x) to y
  2. Switch the positions of x and y
  3. Solve for y
  4. Change y to f^-1(x)

Firstly, do the first two steps:

x=4y+3

Next, let's solve for y. Subtract 3 on both sides:

x-3=4y

Next, divide both sides by 4:

\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{3}{4}=y

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Finally, change y to f^-1(x) and your final answer will be:

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{3}{4} , or <u>the second option.</u>

: Use The TI Calculator To Answer The Question. Find The Probability That A Z-score Will Be Between 0.7 And 1.4. A) 0.242 O B) 0
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

P(0.7

And we can find this probability with the following difference:

P(0.7

We can use the following commands on the ti 84

2nd>VARS>DISTR

And then we look for normalcdf and we input this:

normalcdf(0.7,1.4,0,1)

The other possible code would be:

normalcdf(-1000,1,4,0,1)-normalcdf(-1000,0.7,0,1)

And we got:

P(0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to find this probability:

P(0.7

And we can find this probability with the following difference:

P(0.7

We can use the following commands on the ti 84

2nd>VARS>DISTR

And then we look for normalcdf and we input this:

normalcdf(0.7,1.4,0,1)

The other possible code would be:

normalcdf(-1000,1,4,0,1)-normalcdf(-1000,0.7,0,1)

And we got:

P(0.7
