Answer:

11.820 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that ...

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with 52° as the base angle. The side opposite is the height up the building where the top of the ladder rests. So, you have the relation ...

sin(52°) = height/(15 ft)

Multiplying by the denominator gives you ...

height = (15 ft)·sin(52°) ≈ 11.820 ft

___

You may need to round this number appropriately.

How many solutions does 0.75(x+40)=0.35(x+20)+0.35(x+20) have?

Neporo4naja [7]

Only one because there is one variable and the combined coefficients of x are non-zero.
(0.75(x+40)=0.70(x+20), 0.05x=14-30=-16, x=-320)

Answer:

Confidence Interval: (21596,46428)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

10520, 56910, 52454, 17902, 25914, 56607, 21861, 25039, 25983, 46929

Formula:

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{340119}{10} = 34011.9$

Sum of squares of differences = 551869365.6 + 524322983.6 + 340111052.4 + 259528878 + 65575984.41 + 510538544 + 147644370.8 + 80512934.41 + 64463235.21 + 166851472.4 = 2711418821

$S.D = \sqrt{\frac{2711418821}{9}} = 17357.09$
