I would solve this using tangents. Let h be height of flagpole.
Set up 2 right triangles, each with a base of 40.
The larger triangle has height of "h+70"
Smaller triangle has height of 70.
Now write the tangent ratios:
Note: A-B = 9
To solve for h we need to use the "Difference Angle" formula for Tangent
Plug in what we know:
Answer:
14 length of the side is 3x-7
and 15 length of side is 2x+6
The answer is 5/15 which is simplified to 1/3
Side adjacent to the given angle: x
Diagonal=hypotenuse=20
cos (36° 42') =(side adjacent to angle 36° 42')/Hypotenuse
cos (36° 42')=x/20
Solving for x. Multiplying both sides of the equation by 20:
20 cos (36° 42')=20 (x/20)
20 cos (36° 42')=x
x=20 cos (36° 42')
x=20 (0.801775644)
x=16.03551288
x=16.04
Answer: Option D. 16.04
A Z-score helps us to understand how far is the data from the mean. The correct option is B.
<h3>What is Z-score?</h3>
A Z-score helps us to understand how far is the data from the mean. It is a measure of how many times the data is above or below the mean. It is given by the formula,
Where Z is the Z-score,
X is the data point,
μ is the mean and σ is the standard variable.
The weight of a randomly selected pack of gum has a z-score of 3.11. Therefore, The weight of this pack of gum is heavier than the mean weight by 3.11 standard deviations.
Hence, the correct option is B.
