Answer: the length of string that been let out to fly the kite this high is 172.89 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of string attached to the kite, the vertical height of the kite above the ground and the ground distance forms a right angle triangle.
With an angle of 57 degrees, the length of the string that is attached to the kite represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.
The height of the kite above the ground represents the opposite side of the triangle
To determine h, the length of the string that has been let out to fly the kite this high, we would apply the
Sine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as
Sine θ = opposite side/hypotenuse
Sin 57 = 145/h
h = 145/Sin57 = 145/0.8387
h = 172.89
Variance is the standard deviation squared but we're not going to use that now. Let's first calculate the mean:
mean = (17+13+13+22+11+20)/6 = 16.
Now for each value, let's see how far it is from this mean. We'll square these distances and average them. That's our variance.
17 distance 1 squared = 1
13 distance 3 squared = 9
13 distance 3 squared = 9
22 distance 6 squared = 36
11 distance 5 squared = 25
20 distance 4 squared = 16
Now average these outcomes:
variance = (1+9+9+36+25+16)/6 = 16.
So the variance by coincidence is the same as the mean.
Answer C is your answer.
Hm, it seems like his answer is off. The image is what I got.
