Step-by-step explanation:

tan30° = Height of person / (Distance away from river bank + river's width) = 1/√3.

Therefore 1.6m / (2m + x) = 1/√3

By cross multiplication, 1.6√3 = 2 + x.

Hence, x ≈ 0.77m.

A class has 21 girls and 12 boys. what is the probability that a boy's name is drawn at random
belka [17]
There are a total of 33 students in the class (21+12=33). There are 12 boys in the class so the chance of drawing a boys name would be 12/33 which reduces to 4/11. This means you will draw a boys name 4 times for every 11 draws. To find the percent probability, just divide...

4/11 =.3636

multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage ( move decimal to the right 2 places).


.3636 = 36.36%

There is a 36.36% chance that a boys name is drawn.

A sandbox 12ft. By 14 ft. requires that the sand be spread to a depth of 6 in. How many cubic feet of sand are needed?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

84 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for Volume. Volume of a box is:

V = Length (base) x Width (base) x Height (of rectangular prism/square)

Change each measurement to have the same measurement (ft -> in, or vice versa).

Note that 1 ft = 12 in.

6 in = 1/2 ft, because 6/12 = 1/2

Length = 12 ft

Width = 14 ft

Height = 1/2 ft

Solve. Plug in the corresponding number to the corresponding words.

V = 12 x 14 x 1/2

Simplify. Solve.

V = 12 x (14 x 1/2)

V = 12 x (14/2)

V = 12 x 7

V = 84

84 ft² is your answer.
