Answer: 97 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw 2 right triangles KLM and ABC.

ML=3.2 m  ( is a pole)  KL =1.29 m( pole's  shadow).

(The triangle KLM is right because we suppose that pole is staying vertically).

In triangle AB is tower's  shadow= 39.25 m and BC is the height og tower=x meters?

Triangles KLM and ABC are similar .

So ML/KL=x/AB

3.2/1.29=x/39.25

x=3.2*39.25/1.29= approx 97.36  meters= 97 meters

sasho [114]

Complete question :

Suppose there are n independent trials of an experiment with k > 3 mutually exclusive​ outcomes, where Pi represents the probability of observing the ith outcome. What would be the formula of an expected count in this​ situation?

Answer: Ei = nPi

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Pi represents the probability of observing the ith outcome

The number of independent trials n = k>3 :

Expected outcome of each count will be the product of probability of the ith outcome and the number of the corresponding trial.

Hence, Expected count (Ei) = probability of ith count * n

Ei = nPi

Answer:

6(2) -2(-5) Substitute the values given into the expression and multiply. 12+10 ... 1. 2x-(3-4y), when x = 5 and y=-3. 215)-(3-4(-3)). 10-(3+12). 10-15. 2. ... + (3 - 3 x + 1 +. 6-3x = 4x + 4. Bebetto. 2=7x -. - 4-2=34+12. - ý 2=2y+12. + ... y = 2x-1. Simplify. Subtract 2x from each side. Multiply both sides by -1. 2+3 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2x + y = 7 and x + 2y = 5, then (x + y)/3 = (A) 1 (B) 4/3 (C) 17/5 (D) ... Divide both sides by 3 to get: x + y = 4 ... 2*(x+2y = 5) equals 2x+4y=10 ... or subtracting one from the other and it likely happens 90% times that ...
