Answer: The height of the building is 6.49 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be translated to:

"A building projects a 7.5 m shadow, while a tree with a height of 1.6 m projects a shadow of 1.85 m.

Which is the height of the building?"

We can conclude that the ratio between the projected shadow is and the actual height is constant for both objects, this means that if H is the height of the building, we need to have:

(height of the building)/(shadow of the building) = (height of the tree)/(shadow of the tree)

H/7.5m = 1.6m/1.85m

H = (1.6m/1.85m)*7.5m = 6.49m

The height of the building is 6.49 meters.

Angle x and angle y are complementary angles if angle y is 5 times the size of angle x .what is the value of x and y
Ivahew [28]

The values of x and y are 15 and 75, respectively

<h3>How to determine the values of x and y?</h3>

The statements are given as:

  • Angle x and angle y are complementary angles
  • Angle y is 5 times the size of angle x

These mean that

x + y = 90

y = 5x

Substitute y = 5x in x + y = 90

x + 5x = 90

Evaluate the sum

6x = 90

Divide by 6

x = 15

Substitute x = 15 in y = 5x

y = 5 *15

Evaluate

y = 75

Hence, the values of x and y are 15 and 75, respectively

. Let X and Y be random variables of possible percent returns (0%, 10%,
bazaltina [42]

(a) The marginal distribution of <em>X</em> is

Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>) = ∑ Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>, <em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>)

… = 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625

… = 0.25

That is, the first equality follows from the law of total probability, with the sum taken over <em>y</em> from {0, 5, 10, 15}. Each probability Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>, <em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>) is given in the table to be 0.0625.

Similarly, the marginal distribution of <em>Y</em> is

Pr(<em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>) = 0.25

(b) Yes, they're independent because

Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>, <em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>) = 0.0625,

and

Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>) Pr(<em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>) = 0.25 • 0.25 = 0.0625.

(c) The mean of <em>X</em> is

E[<em>X</em>] = ∑ <em>x</em> Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>)

… = 0.25 ∑ <em>x</em>

<em>… </em>= 0.25 (0 + 5 + 10 + 15)

… = 7.5

and you would find the same mean for <em>Y</em>,

E[<em>Y</em>] = 7.5

The variance of <em>X</em> is

V[<em>X</em>] = E[<em>X</em>^2] - E[<em>X</em>]^2

… = (∑ <em>x</em>^2 Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>)) - 7.5^2

… = 0.25 (∑ <em>x</em>^2) - 56.25

… = 0.25 (0^2 + 5^2 + 10^2 + 15^2) - 56.25

… = 31.25

and similarly,

V[<em>Y</em>] = 31.25

(each sum is taken with <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> from {0, 5, 10, 15})

Find the exact value by using a half-angle identity. . cos(5π/12).
vodka [1.7K]
<span>First of all in order to find the exact value by using a half angle identity we will do
cos(5π divided by 12)

=cos (5π divided by 6) divided by 2
= ± Under root[(1+cos (5π divided by 6) divided by 2]
Now we will consider + sign because 5π divided by 12 is in quadrant. where cos>0
so the solution is [(1- Under root 3 divided by 2) divided by 2] 
We will ignore the negative sign
I hope it helped.</span>
