Answer:

69.01 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

The tangent function is useful for problems like this. Let the height of the spire be represented by h. The distance (d) across the plaza from the first surveyor satisfies the relation ...

tan(50°) = (h -1.65)/d

Rearranging to solve for d, we have ...

d = (h -1.65)/tan(50°)

The distance across the plaza from the second surveyor satisfies the relation ...

tan(30°) = (101.65 -h)/d

Rearranging this, we have ...

d = (101.65 -h)/tan(30°)

Equating these expressions for d, we can solve for h.

(h -1.65)/tan(50°) = (101.65 -h)/tan(30°)

h(1/tan(50°) +1/tan(30°)) = 101.65/tan(30°) +1.65/tan(50°)

We can divide by the coefficient of h and simplify to get ...

h = (101.65·tan(50°) +1.65·tan(30°))/(tan(30°) +tan(50°))

h ≈ 69.0148 ≈ 69.01 . . . . meters

The tip of the spire is 69.01 m above the plaza.

If a number is chosen at random from the set {1, 2, 3, 4, . . ., 18}, what is the probability that the number chosen is a factor

choli [55]

Looking at the set, we are given 18 elements. 17 is prime; it has only two factors: 1 and 17, since 1•17=17. So, the question is really asking what is the probability the numbers 1 or 17 is chosen. As mentioned earlier, 17 is prime, so there are two possible choices: 1 and 17.

P (probability) = possible outcomes / total outcomes

It is important to note that these events are “or” events, meaning that the probability can only be determined by choosing a 1 or a 17; you can’t randomly chose a 1 and 17 at the same time. So, the formula is:

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

All this is saying is that given two possible outcomes, the probability occurs independent of each event; they don’t occur at the same time.

P(1 or 17) = P(1)/18 + P(1)/18

P(1 or 17) = 2/18

Since 17 is prime, it’s two and only factors are 1 and 17. The probability of randomly choosing a 1 or 17 is 2/18, meaning that there are 2 elements in the set out of a possible 18 elements that can be randomly chosen.

2/18 simplifies to 1/9

So, your answer is 1/9

Is either of these a polynomial? 2 + s X^2−√x+2

levacccp [35]

Hello there,

2 + s is a polynominal because it obeys at the rules.

However x^2 - square root of x + 2 isn't a polynominal because the variable is inside a radical for the square root.

Hope this helps !
