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

. The mean width of 12 iPads is 5.1 inches. The mean width of 8 Kindles is 4.8 inches. a. What is the total width of the iPads?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a) 61.2, b) 38.4 and c) 4.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The mean width of 12 I-Pads is 5.1 inches.

The mean width of 8 Kindles is 4.8 inches.

Question asked:

a. What is the total width of the I-Pads?

b. What is the total width of the Kindles?

c. What is the mean width of the 12 I-Pads and 8 Kindles?

Solution:

<u>As we know:</u>

<u />Mean =\frac{Sum\ of\ observations}{Number\ of\ observations}\\ \\ Mean\ width =\frac{Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all \ I-pad}{Number \  of\ I-pad}

5.1=\frac{Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all\ I-pad}{12} \\ \\ By \ cross\ multiplication\\ \\ Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all\ I-pad}=5.1\times1 2\\ \\ Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all\ I-pad}= 61.2

a) Thus, the total width of the I-Pads are 61.2 inches.

Mean\ width =\frac{Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all\ Kindles}{Number \  of\ Kindles}

4.8=\frac{Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all\Kindles}{8} \\ \\ By \ cross\ multiplication\\ \\ Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all \ Kindles=4.8\times8\\ \\ Sum\ of\ width\ of \ all\ Kindles}=38.4

b) Thus, total width of the Kindles are 38.4 inches.

Combined width of both I-pad and Kindles = 61.2 + 38.4 = 99.6 inches

Combined number of observations = 12 + 8 =20

Combined mean of width of the 12 I-Pads and 8 Kindles = Combined width of both I-pad and Kindles \div Combined number of observations

Combined mean of width of the 12 I-Pads and 8 Kindles = \frac{99.6}{20} =4.98\ inches

c) Thus, the mean width of the 12 I-Pads and 8 Kindles is 4.98 inches.
