The length of the shadow is 124.7 in

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u />

Given:

Angle, θ = 30°

Height of the fence,  h = 72 in

Length of the shadow, l = ?

Given:

tan 30° = \frac{perpendicular}{base}  = \frac{height of the fence}{length of the shadow}

\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } = \frac{72}{l} \\\\l = 72\sqrt{3} \\\\l = 124.7 in

Therefore, the length of the shadow is 124.7 in

Which table of ordered pairs represents a proportional relationship?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Third table

Step-by-step explanation:

For the relationship to be proportional

y/x = constant

First table y/x = 8/4 = 2    then 7/11 doesn't =2  so it is not

Second table y/x =52/5 = 5    then 49/7 doesn't =5  so it is not

Third table y/x = 3/6=1/2    then 5/10 = 1/2   then 7/14 = 1/2  it is proportional

Last table y/x = 6/3 = 2    then 11/8 doesn't =2  so it is not

A football quarterback enjoys practicing his long passes over 40 yards. He misses the first pass 40% of the time. When he misses
laila [671]

Answer:

Probability of missing two passes in a row is 0.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

Event E = A football player misses twice in a row.

P(E) = ?

Event X = Football player misses the first pass

P(X) = 0.4

Event Y = Football player misses just after he first miss

P(Y) = 0.2

Both the events are exclusive so the probability of occuring of these two events can be calculated by the formula:

P(E) = P(X).P(Y)

P(E) = 0.4*0.2

P(E) = 0.08
