Answer:

64.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

angle of elevation is the angle from the point where the shadow ends. this create a right angle triangle. using tan, you can find the angle.

tan theta = opposite/adjacent

angle = tan^-1(42/20)

angle = 64.5°

Answer:

a. p(orange) = 5/14

b. p(green) = 3/14

c. p(red) = 1/7  

d. p(brown) = 2/7  

e. p(brown or red) = 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have a 14 pencils. Two pencils are red, 5 pencils are orange, 3 pencils are green and 4 pencils are brown.

p(color) = (number of pencils of that color)/(total number of pencils)

p(color) = (number of pencils of that color)/14

a. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil

will be orange?

p(orange) = 5/14

b. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil

will be green?

p(green) = 3/14

c. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil will be red?

p(red) = 2/14 = 1/7

d. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil

will be brown?

p(brown) = 4/14 = 2/7

e. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil

will be brown or red?

brown: 4

red: 2

brown or red: 4 + 2

p(brown or red) = 6/14 = 3/7

Which of the following sets of numbers could be the lengths of the sides of a triangle?
kicyunya [14]

Answer is C. 8, 3, 6

To answer this, you must know the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

The two shortest sides when added together, must be greater than the longest side.

A. 2 + 4= 6 which can't work since it equals the longest side of 6

B. 4 +2=6 The sum would be less than 8, which doesn't work

C. 6 +3 = 9 the sum is greater than 8, which makes it a triangle

D. 3 +8 = 11 11 is less than 12
