Answer:
m∠x = 10°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are dealing with a <u>right triangle</u> and its two sides and one angle, we can use <u>trigonometry ratios</u>. Remember them all with the acronym SohCahToa.
"o" is for opposite side, "a" is for adjacent side, "h" is for hypotenuse side.
The ratios are:
sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse
cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse
tanθ = opposite/adjacent
θ means the "angle of reference", or the angle you know or want to find. This determines which side is adjacent (touching) or opposite (not touching). The hypotenuse (longest side) does not change.
In this triangle, θ = x. The sides we know are hypotenuse and opposite. Therefore, we will use the sinθ ratio.
sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse
sinx = CB/AB Substitute the labels in the diagram
sinx = 4/23 Substitute known values (side lengths)
x = sin⁻¹(4/23) Isolate 'x'. Use calculator to solve.
x = 10.015....° Exact answer
x ≈ 10° Round to the nearest degree
Therefore the measure of angle x (m∠x) is 10°.
Complete question :
The 100m dah times in the girl's track meet were normally distributed with a mean of 13 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.3 seconds.
Lana finished the race in 13.2 seconds . If 84 other girls ran in the event, approximately how many runners did she beat?
Answer:
21 runners
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean, μ = 13 seconds
Standard deviation, σ = 0.3
Lana's race time = 13.2
We find the proportion of runners who had race time above 13.2 ;
Proportion of who had race tune above 13.2
P(x > 13.2)
Obtain the Zscore
Zscore = (x - μ) / σ
Z = (13.2 - 13) / 0.3
Zscore = 0.2 / 0.3 = 0.6667
P(Z > 0.6667) = 0.25239 (Z probability calculator)
This is about 0.25239 * 100 = 25.24% = 25% (nearest percent)
Hence, Number of runners Lana beat = 25% of total runners ;
0.25 * 84 = 21
Hence, Lana beat about 21 runners
Im pretty sure it is the first one
