Let us first find the angle adjacent to θ. To find this we can construct a right triangle by drawing a line segment from the point (-12,5) straight down to the x-axis. Using right triangle trig...

tan(adjacent angle)=5/12

adjacent angle=22.62 degrees

Since the two angles make a linear pair.

θ=180-22.62=157.38 degrees

cos(157.38 degrees) = -0.92

answer: -0.92

At a gymnastics meet, three judges evaluate the balance beam performances of five gymnasts, using a scale from 1 to 10, where 10

Art [367]

Answer:

As 2.551 < 3.84 therefore we reject H0.

As 44.803 > 4.46 so we accept null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is attached.

There are three judges so v1 = 3-1= 2 and v2 = (4*2)= 8

There are five gymnasts so v1 = 5-1= 4 and v2= (4*2)= 8

For alpha = 0.05 we find the value of F1 and F2 from the table.

A building casts a shadow that is 50 feet in length. If the distance from the end of the shadow to the top of the building is 25

lozanna [386]

Answer:

The height of the building is of 244.95 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this question.

We have that:

The shadow of 50 feet is one side of the right triangle, while the height h is other side.

The hypotenuse is the distance from the end of the shadow to the top of the building, which is 250 feet.

$50^2 + h^2 = 250^2$

$h^2 = \sqrt{250^2 - 50^2}$

$h = 244.95$

The height of the building is of 244.95 feet.
