Answer: The tall cliff is 118.20 feet tall and the short cliff is 70.32 feet tall.

If you draw a picture with 2 cliffs and a river in the middle, you have find 2 right triangles. In each triangle the adjacent side to our known angle is the river of 90 feet. And the unknown side is the opposite leg.

Therefore, we can set up a tangent equation.

From the top of the short cliff to the top of the tall cliff, we can right and solve the following trig equation:

tan(28) = x /90
x = 47.88

From the top of the short cliff to the bottom, we can right and solve the following trip equation.

tan(38) = x/90
x = 70.32

The 70.32 is also the height of the short cliff. And adding the two answers together will give you the height of the tall cliff.

-64 1/3

disregard the negative sign for the moment...
to turn a mixed number into an improper fraction, take ur whole number (63) and multiply it by ur denominator (3) and u get (64 * 3) = 192....now add that to ur numerator (1) and u get (192 + 1) = 193...now put that over ur original denominator (3) and u get 193/3.....now put ur negative sign back....and u have - 193/3.....simplified form, does not reduce

Suppose a birth defect has a recessive form of inheritance. In a study population, the recessive gene (a) initially has a preval
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Maternal gene = 0.25; Paternal gene = 0.25

Probability having a birth defect = 0.25 X 0.25 = 0.625

b) P(A) = 0.30; P(B) = 0.70

P(A)*P(B) = 0.30 X 0.70 = 0.021

For marriage:

25%: P(A)*P(A)*0.25 = 0.09 X 0.25 = 0.0225

65%: P(B)*P(B)*0.65 = 0.049 X 0.65 = 0.03185

10%: P(A)*0.10 = 0.03 and P(B)*0.10 = 0.07

P(A)*P(B) = 0.03 X 0.07 = 0.0021

Probability of a defect birth in the next generation = 0.0225 + 0.03185 + 0.0021 = 0.05645

c) 1. P(A)*P(A) = 0.09

2. P(B)*P(B) = 0.049

3. P(A)*P(B) = 0.021
