Hector is flying a kite. He has let out 86 feet

Mathematics

Kaylis [27]3 years ago

Answer:

Hector's kite is 61.84 feet from the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of elevation of the kite is 42°15’30” when converted to decimals, it is 42.258333^{0} ≅ 42.26^{0}

Let the height of the kite to the horizontal of angle of elevation be represented as x. Applying the trigonometric function to the sketch of Hector's kite,

Sin θ = \frac{opposite}{hypotenus}

Sin 42.26^{0} = \frac{x}{86}

⇒ x = 86 x Sin 42.26^{0}

      = 86 x 0.6725

     = 57.835

x ≅ 57.84 feet

The height of Hector's kite from the ground = x + 4

                                    = 57.84 + 4

                                   = 61.84 feet

Solving a word problem using a quadratic equation with rationa...
choli [55]

Answer:

length : 8 m

width : 13/2 = 6.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle = l(ength)×w(idth) = 52

l = 2w - 5

=> (2w - 5)×w = 52

=> 2w² -5w - 52 = 0

we know, when transforming this quadratic equation into a multiplication of two expressions of w, that we need to have 2w and w (to make 2w²), and then which 2 numbers multiply to 52 and add to -5 (when one is multiplied by 2 due to 2w) : -13 and 4

=> (2w - 13)×(w + 4) = 0

=> 2 solutions for w :

2w-13 = 0

2w = 13, w = 13/2

w+4 = 0, w = -4

negative values for a side length of a shape do not make sense, so the only usable solution is w = 13/2

=> l = 2w - 5 = 13 - 5 = 8

Given that the employed adult is male, what is the probability that he felt tense or stressed out at work
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
In the study the total number of males was 739 and the total number of all employees was 1501. The men who felt stressed or tensed out  during work were 244 and those that never felt stressed out were 495.
 Assuming that, A= Employed adults was male and B= Employed adult felt tense or stress out at work.
Then , P(A/B) = P(A∩B)/ P(B) 
P(B) is the probability of having a male.
 P(B) = 739/1501
P(A∩B) is the probability of a man being stressed or tensed out at work.
   and P(A∩B) = 244/ 1501
Hence, P(A/B) =(244/1501)/ (739/1501)
                        = 244/739
                         =  0.3302.
Thus, the probability that the employed work felt tense or stress at work given that the employed employee was male is 0.3302
