Answer:

\frac{15}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • \cos( \alpha )  =  \frac{ad}{hip}  \\  \\  \sin( \alpha )  =  \frac{op}{hip}

Pythagorean theorem

hip² = op² + ad²

17² = x² + 8²

x² = 17² - 8²

x \:  =  \sqrt{{17}^{2}  -  {8}^{2} }  \\ x =  \sqrt{289 - 64}  \\ x =  \sqrt{225}  \\ x = 15

\sin( \alpha )  =   - \frac{15}{17}

\sin( -  \alpha )  =  \frac{15}{17}

Dave is comparing the circumferences of several trees in his yard. The oak tree is 0.539 meters in circumference, the ash tree h
stepan [7]

Answer:   c. elm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The circumference of the oak tree= 0.539 meters

=0.539\times100=53.9\text{ cm}   [∵ 1 m = 100 cm]             (1)

The circumference of the ash tree= 0.509 yards

=0.509\times3\text{ feet}   [∵ 1 yard = 3 feet]

=0.509\times3\times 30.48\text{ cm}  [∵ 1 foot = 30.48 cm]

=46.54296\approx46.54\text{ cm}        (2)

The circumference of the elm tree = 6281.70 millimeters

=\dfrac{6281.70}{10}=628.17\text{ cm}          (3)

The circumference of the poplar tree = 0.000385 miles

=0.000385 \times5280\text{ feet}   [∵ 1 mile = 5280 feet]

=0.000385 \times5280\times30.48\text{ feet}  [∵ 1 foot = 30.48 cm]

=61.959744\approx61.96\ \text{ cm}              (4)

From (1) , (2) , (3 ) and (4) it is clear that

46.54< 53.9 < 61.96 < 628.17

Hence, the elm tree has the greatest circumference.

In a​ study, 36​% of adults questioned reported that their health was excellent. A researcher wishes to study the health of peop
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

0.3907

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 36​% of adults questioned reported that their health was excellent.

Probability of good health = 0.36

Among 11 adults randomly selected from this​ area, only 3 reported that their health was excellent.

Now we are supposed to find the probability that when 11 adults are randomly​ selected, 3 or fewer are in excellent health.

i.e. P(x\leq 3)=P(x=1)+{P(x=2)+P(x=3)

Formula :P(x=r)=^nC_r p^r q ^ {n-r}

p is the probability of success i.e. p = 0.36

q = probability of failure = 1- 0.36 = 0.64

n = 11

So, P(x\leq 3)=P(x=1)+{P(x=2)+P(x=3)

P(x\leq 3)=^{11}C_1 (0.36)^1 (0.64)^{11-1}+^{11}C_2 (0.36)^2 (0.64)^{11-2}+^{11}C_3 (0.36)^3 (0.64)^{11-3}

P(x\leq 3)=\frac{11!}{1!(11-1)!} (0.36)^1 (0.64)^{11-1}+\frac{11!}{2!(11-2)!}  (0.36)^2 (0.64)^{11-2}+\frac{11!}{3!(11-3)!} (0.36)^3 (0.64)^{11-3}

P(x\leq 3)=0.390748

Hence  the probability that when 11 adults are randomly​ selected, 3 or fewer are in excellent health is 0.3907

Explain why points and lines may be coplaner even when the plane containing them is not drawn. Give Examples.
skad [1K]

Answer:

The reason why points and lines my be co-planer even when the plane containing them is not drawn is because the by their definition two lines or a line and a  point or three points which are fixed in space always have have a direction of view from which they appear as a single line, or for the three points, appear to be on a single line.

This can be demonstrated by the shape of a cross which is always planner

Examples include

1) Straight lines drawn across both side of the pages of an open book to meet at the center pf the book can always be made planner by the orientation#

2) This can be also demonstrated by the plane of the two lines in the shape of a cross which is always planner regardless of the orientation of the cross

3) The dimension that can be defined by three points alone is that of a planner  (2-dimensional) triangle shape

Find the number of sides of a regular polygon if the sum of its interior angle is 1440
scoundrel [369]
The formula is 180(n-2)= 1140 then you divide 1140 by 180 to get 8 so then it would like like n-2=8 add the 2 over and n (being the number of sides)= 10 so your answer will be 10
