Eric is looking up at an object. eric points one arm at the object and the other arm at aaron. the angle formed by his outstretc

hed arms measures 50 degrees. Aaron is also looking up at the object. He points one arm at the object and the other arm at eric. the angle formed by his outstreatched arms measures35 degrees. the distance between the two men is 80 feet. which of the following best represents the distance between eric and the object?

Answer:

A. 46.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to look at this scenario as a triangle, with the object, Eric and Aaron being 3 different points.

<u>Refer to the attached image for clarity.</u>

To solve this, we will use the Sine Rule.


To apply this, we need to know two angles that correspond to the side of the triangle opposite of them, and the length of those to sides.

<h3><u>Finding the unknown angle</u></h3>

The sum of a triangle is 180 degree, and we can subtract the value of the known two angles from this to obtain the value of the unknown angle (A)

180 - 35 - 50 = 95 degree

<h3><u>Apply Sine Rule</u></h3>

To solve for the distance between Eric and the Object, we will apply this as follows:

Sine A / a = Sine C / c

<em>Note: We are using the angle C because the corresponding angle directly opposite is the side of the triangle we need to find</em>

Sine 95 / 80 = Sine 35 / c

Rearrange the equation

c = Sine 35 x 80 / Sine 95

c = 46.06

c ~ 46.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

13:

It is a function, notice that if you draw a vertical line anywhere, it doesn't pass two points.

Domain : All real numbers (x-values)

Range : 2 (y-values)

14:

Not a function, if you draw a vertical line through one point, it will hit two others.

Domain : -3

Range : 4 , 0, -4

15:

It is a function, no two points in any vertical line.

Domain: All real numbers

Range: All real numbers

16:

Not a function, two points in one line

Domain : -5 ≤ x ≤ 5

Range: -2 ≤ y ≤ 2

Answer:

Yes she made an error. Explanation is below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sample space for a six sided number cube be S

n(S) = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}\\n(S) = 6

Let the event of a number getting greater than two be B

n(B) = \{3,4,5,6\}\\n(B) = 4

To find:

the probability of complement of B that is

p(~B) = ?

Solution"

First we need to solve probability for number getting greater than two

p(B) = \frac{n(B)}{n(S)}

Now substituting the values we get

p(B) = \frac{4}{6}

p(B) = \frac{2}{3}

but we need complement of B so

p(\textrm{complement of B)} = 1 - p(B)\\p(\~B) = 1 - p(B)\\p(\~B) = 1 - \frac{2}{3}\\ =\frac{1}{3} \\

P(complement of rolling a number greater than two) = \frac{1}{3}

Which of the following random variables is not discrete?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

b) The annual rainfall in a city

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, a discrete variable is one that can only take a finite number of values between any two values of a characteristic and a continuous variable is one that can take an infinite number of values between any two values of a characteristic.

a) Observe that the variable x='<em>classes taken in one semester' </em>can take the values 0,1,2,...,n.

Then the variable x is discrete

b) Observe that the variable x='<em>annual rainfall in a city'</em> can take the values 2in, 1.6in, 5.1 in, 0.1in

Then, the variable x can be take a infinite number of values between two number. So x isn't a discrete variable.

c) The variable x=<em>'attendance at a football game' </em>can take the values 3000,5000... n. And never will be a decimal number because There cannot be a personal decimal number. Therefore, x is a discrete variable.

d) The variable x='<em>patients treated at an emergency room in a day</em>' can take the values 1,2,3,...,n. And never will be a decimal number because There cannot be a personal decimal number. Therefore, x is a discrete variable.
