Make a drawing with a right triangle.

The opposite side, y, is the height of the dam less 1.65 m

The base or adjacent side is 90 m

The angle between the two sides is 90 m.

Then tan (26) = y / 90

y = 90 tan(26) = 90 (0.4877) = 43.90 m

The height of the dam is 43.90m + 1.65m = 45.55 m

You know that the battery in your alarm clock is going to run out of power soon. If it runs out within the next 24 hours, what i
aivan3 [116]
The probability of an event is given by the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. Here the event is the alarm clock running out of power. There are 24 hours during which the power can go out. You are asleep during 8 of these. A "favorable" outcome in this case is the power going out while you are sleeping -- that is, during one of those 8 hours. This makes the probability that the power goes out while you are sleeping 8/24.

How do you solve 58 and 1/3÷6 and 2/3
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

35/4, or 8 3/4 as a mixed number

Step-by-step explanation:

First, change 58 1/3 into an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number and denominator, then adding the numerator. 58 x 3 equals 174, + 1 equals 175. So, 58 1/3 as an improper fraction is 175/3. Next, change 6 2/3 into an improper fraction. 6 times 3 equals 18, plus 2 equals 20. So, it's 20/3. So, here are your two fractions:

175/3 & 20/3

To divide fractions, I like to use a method called Keep Change Flip. Basically, you keep the first fractions the same, then change the sign. The division sign changes into a multiplication symbol. Now, your equation should look like this: 175/3 x 20/3. Next, flip the fraction from 20/3 into 3/20. This is what your equation should look like now: 175/3 x 3/20. Now you can multiply the fractions together. Before you do so, you can cross reduce to make it easier. What is a number that both 3 and 3 can be divided by? The correct answer is 3. 3/3= 1, so the equation is now 175/1 x 1/20. However, you can continue to cross reduce. You can also divide 175 and 20 by 5, so the equation changes into this: 35/1 x 1/20. Multiply numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator. So, the answer is 35/4, or 8 3/4 as a mixed number. Hope this helped!
