The two figures are in the file attached.

Congruency means that all the respcetive sides and angles are equals.

Then, the three angles are :

y = 38°

x = 90°

w = 180° - 90° - 38° = 52

The three sides are:

z= 10yd
v= 7.9yd
u=6.2yd

You have all the measures as a function of yd, but you do not have any information about yd, then it is not possible to find the real lenghts.

All you can tell is that the sides obey Pythagoream theorem:

u^2 + v^2 = z^2

But that is not enough to find one side, because you do not know any of them.

For example if you apply Pytagorean theorem you cand do"

(7.9yd)^2 + (6.2)^2 = (10yd)^2

but that cannot be solved for yd, because they are factors of all the terms in both sides, which mean that they cancel to obtain:

(7.9)^2 + (6.2)^2 = (10)^2, which is not any new information.

Also you can think about sine theorem, but it does not help, because you also need one side.

Then you only can tell the missing angles, as I have shown, but not the misssing lengths.

A number picked at random from the numbers 1 through 15 is prime. This "question" is on my study guide for Unit 6 Probability an

Sphinxa [80]

Solution:

we are given that

A number picked at random from the numbers 1 through 15 is prime.

As we know the number between 1 and 15 which are primes are listed below

2,3,5,7,11,13.

Here total number of favourable outcomes are 6.

The numbers 1 through 15 are as below:

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15.

Here total number of possible outcoes are 15.

Hence the probability that if a number picked at random from the numbers 1 through 15 is prime $=\frac{6}{15}=\frac{2}{5}=0.40$

Hence the probability that if a number picked at random from the numbers 1 through 15 is prime is 0.4

from the top of a tree the angle of depression of a rock on the ground is 49 degrees. If the tree is 18.5 m tall, how far is the

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to sit in the very top of said tree and look directly straight, your line of vision would be parallel to the ground. The angle of depression is in between your line of vision and the rock. When you look down at the rock, your line of vision to the rock is a transversal between the 2 parallel lines. With this being the case, the angle of depression is alternate interior with the angle made on the ground from the rock to the top of the tree. See the illustration I attached below.

We are looking for the distance on the ground between the tree and the rock, which we will call x. The side opposite the reference angle is the height of the tree and the side adjacent to the reference angle is x. Side opposite over side adjacent is the tangent ratio. Therefore,

$tan(49)=\frac{18.5}{x}$ and
