A hot air balloon is flying at and altitude of 2101 feet. If the angle of depression from the pilot in the balloon to a house on

the ground below is 31°, how far is the house from the pilot?

The problem is modelled as right angle triangle, shown in the diagram below

The distance between the pilot and the house is labelled as x

Using the trigonometry ratio of sine
sin(31)= \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
sin(31)= \frac{2010}{x}
x= \frac{2101}{sin(31)} = 4079.3 ft

Find the probability of the following events , when a dice is thrown once:
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

s a die is rolled once, therefore there are six possible outcomes, i.e., 1,2,3,4,5,6.

(a) Let A be an event ''getting a prime number''.

Favourable cases for a prime number are 2,3,5,

i.e., n(A)=3

Hence P(A)=n(A)n(S)=36=12

(b) Let A be an event ''getting a number between 3 and 6''.

Favourable cases for events A are 4 or 5.

i.e., n(A)=2

P(A)=n(A)n(S)=26=13

(c) Let A be an event ''a number greater than 4''.

Favourable cases of events A are 5, 6.

i.e., n(A)=2

P(A)=n(A)n(S)=26=13

(d) Let A be the event of getting a number at most 4.

∴ A={1,2,3} ⇒ n(A)=4,n(S)=6

∴ Required probability =n(A)n(S)=42=23

(e) Let A be the event of getting a factor of 6.

∴ A={1,2,36} ⇒ n(A)=4,n(A)=6

∴ Required probability =46=23

(ii) Since, a pair of dice is thrown once, so there are 36 possible outcomes. i.e.,

(a) Let A be an event ''a total 6''. Favourable cases for a total of 6 are (2,4), (4,2), (3,3), (5,1), (1,5).

i.e., n(A)=5

Hence P(A)=n(A)n(S)=536

(b) Let A be an event ''a total of 10n. Favourable cases for total of 10 are (6,4), (4,6), (5,5).

i.e., n(A)=5

P(A)=n(A)n(S)=336=112

(c) Let A be an event ''the same number of the both the dice''. Favourable cases for same number on both dice are (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6).

i.e., n(A)=6

P(A)=n(A)n(S)=636=16

(d) Let A be an event ''of getting a total of 9''. Favourable cases for a total of 9 are (3,6), (6,3), (4,5), (5,4).

i.e., n(A)=4

P(A)=n(A)n(S)=436=19

(iii) We have, n(S) = 36

(a) Let A be an event ''a sum less than 7'' i.e., 2,3,4,5,6.

Favourable cases for a sum less than 7 ar

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

  • Master Remodeling

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Original question is attached</em>

<h3>Option 1</h3>
  • C(x) = 25x + 50
  • C(8) = 25*8 + 50 = $250
<h3>Option 2</h3>
  • As per table, the rate of change is $30 per 2 hours.
  • So 8 hours will cost
  • $190 + $30 = $220

As we see the second option is cheaper so we should hire the Master Remodeling
