Raymond was riding a zip-cable from the top of a viewing post. The cable is 70 yards long. The viewing post is 56 yards high and

forms a right angle with the ground, as shown in the picture below. Note: Figure is not drawn to scale. Given this information, how far is the bottom of the cable from the base of the viewing post? A. 84 yards B. 28 yards C. 42 yards D. 56 yards

Answer:

C. 42 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

You may recognize this as a 3-4-5 right triangle with a scale factor of 14. The two given sides are 5·14 = 70 and 4·14 = 56. Then the missing side is 3·14 = 42.

If not, you can use the Pythagorean theorem in the usual way:

... hypotenuse² = leg1² +leg2²

... 70² = 56² +leg2²

... leg2 = √(70² -56²) = √1764 = 42 . . . . yards

The cable is anchored 42 yards from the  base of the tower.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

∠MPQ ≅ ∠MPR: Reason; Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC)

∠PQR ≅∠PRQ: Reason; CPCTC

Step-by-step explanation:

\overline{PQ}\cong \overline{PR}: Reason; Given

Draw \overline{PM} so that M is the midpoint of \overline{QR}: Reason; Two points determine a line

\overline{QM}\cong \overline{RM}: Reason; Definition of midpoint

\overline{PM}\cong \overline{PM}: Reason; Reflexive property

ΔPQM ≅ ΔPRM: Reason; Side Side Side (SSS) rule for triangle congruency

∠MPQ ≅ ∠MPR: Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent CPCTC

∠PQR ≅∠PRQ: CPCTC

if the probability that the islanders will beat the rangers in a game is 0.44,what is the probability that the islanders will wi
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

30.91% probability that the islanders will win exactly one out of four games in a series against the rangers

Step-by-step explanation:

For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the Islanders win, or they do not. The probability of the Islanders winning a game is independent of other games. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability that the islanders will beat the rangers in a game is 0.44

This means that p = 0.44

What is the probability that the islanders will win exactly one out of four games in a series against the rangers? ​

This is P(X = 1) when n = 4. Then

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.44)^{1}.(0.56)^{3} = 0.3091

30.91% probability that the islanders will win exactly one out of four games in a series against the rangers
