Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a convenience store regularly buys mangoes from a wholesale dealer. For every shipment, the manager randomly inspects five mangoes from a box containing 20 mangoes for damages due to transportation. Suppose the chosen box contains exactly 2 damaged mangoes.

In the selected box 18 good mangoes and 2 damaged mangoes are there

a) Find the probability that the first mango is not damaged.

= prob of selecting 1 from any one of 18 good mangoes = \frac{18}{20} =0.90

b. Find the probability that neither of the mangoes is damaged. =

Prob of selecting 2 from 18 good mangoes

=\frac{18C2}{20C2} =0.5276

c. Find the probability that both mangoes are damaged.

= Prob of selecting 2 from 2 bad mangoes

=\frac{2C2}{20C2} =0.005263

Find the longer leg of the triangle.
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Choice A. 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle in question is a right triangle.

  • The length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite to the right angle) is given.
  • The measure of one of the acute angle is also given.

As a result, the length of both legs can be found directly using the sine function and the cosine function.

Let \text{Opposite} denotes the length of the side opposite to the 30^{\circ} acute angle, and \text{Adjacent} be the length of the side next to this 30^{\circ} acute angle.

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Opposite} &= \text{Hypotenuse} \times \sin{30^{\circ}}\\ &=2\sqrt{3}\times \frac{1}{2} \\&= \sqrt{3}\end{aligned}.

Similarly,

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Adjacent} &= \text{Hypotenuse} \times \cos{30^{\circ}}\\ &=2\sqrt{3}\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\&= 3\end{aligned}.

The longer leg in this case is the one adjacent to the 30^{\circ} acute angle. The answer will be 3.

There's a shortcut to the answer. Notice that \sin{30^{\circ}} < \cos{30^{\circ}}. The cosine of an acute angle is directly related to the adjacent leg. In other words, the leg adjacent to the 30^{\circ} angle will be the longer leg. There will be no need to find the length of the opposite leg.

Does this relationship \sin{\theta} < \cos{\theta} holds for all acute angles? (That is, 0^{\circ} < \theta?) It turns out that:

  • \sin{\theta} < \cos{\theta} if 0^{\circ} < \theta;
  • \sin{\theta} > \cos{\theta} if 45^{\circ} < \theta;
  • \sin{\theta} = \cos{\theta} if \theta = 45^{\circ}.

What would my answer be?
Svetllana [295]
Since triangle is isosceles, that means that unknown angles are equal. 180-72=108
108:2=54
So you’re answer would be: 54 degrees.
