You can solve this problem by writing an equation of ratios and finding the value of the unknown that way:

10 ft 17 ft

---------- * ---------

50 ft x

Then 10x = 850, and so x = 85 feet.

This is a "similar triangle" problem. Set up a ratio comparing the flagpole to the tree as follows and cross multiply to solve for the missing value:

\frac{flagpole height}{flagpole length} = \frac{tree height}{tree length}

\frac{10}{17} = \frac{x}{50}

(10)(50) = (17)(x)

\frac{500}{17} = x

29.4 ≈ x

Answer: 29.4 ft

The thickness of a protective coating applied to a conductor designed to work in corrosive conditions follows a uniform distribu
pochemuha

Answer:

P(24< X

And replacing we got:

P(24< X

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the random variable X as the thickness of a protective coating applied to a conductor designed to work in corrosive conditions. And the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim Unif (a = 20, b=40)

And we want to find this probability:

P(24< X

And in order to find this probability we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

F(x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a} , a\leq X \leq b

And if we use this formula for the probability desired we have:

P(24< X

And replacing we got:

P(24< X

C = 2×pi×r
72 = 2×pi×r

so r = 36/pi

DE = 30deg×36/pi
DE = (pi/6)×(36/pi) = 6cm
