Answer:

(1)55.5 feet

(2)7.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 1</u>

The diagram is attached below.

Using Trigonometric ratio

\tan 48^\circ = \dfrac{h}{50} \\h=50 \times \tan 48^\circ\\h=55.5$ feet (to the nearest tenth)

The height of the house is 55.5 feet to the nearest tenth.

<u>Question 2</u>

In the diagram, we are required to find the distance the bird must fly to be directly above the fish. This has been represented by x.

Using Trigonometric ratio

\tan 15^\circ = \dfrac{2}{x} \\x \tan 15^\circ=2\\x=2 \div \tan 15^\circ\\x=7.5 $ feet (to the nearest tenth)

The distance the bird must fly to be directly above the fish is 7.5 feet.

When Carson runs the 400 meter dash, his finishing times are normally distributed with a mean of 63 seconds and a standard devia
Gnom [1K]

Answer: in 95% of races, his finishing time will be between 62 and 64 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule states that for a normal distribution, nearly all of the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean . The empirical rule is further illustrated below

68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean.

95% fall within two standard deviations.

99.7% fall within three standard deviations.

From the information given, the mean is 63 seconds and the standard deviation is 5 seconds.

2 standard deviations = 2 × 0.5 = 1

63 - 1 = 62 seconds

63 + 1 = 64 seconds

Therefore, in 95% of races, his finishing time will be between 62 and 64 seconds.

Solve for x -3x+6=2x-24
ozzi

Answer:

7.5 or 15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x-3x+6=2x-24 -- Combine like terms

-2x+6=2x-24 -- Add 2x to each side

6 = 4x-24 -- add 24 to each side

30 = 4x -- divide by 4

15/2 or 7.5 = x

In ΔBCD, \overline{BD} BD is extended through point D to point E, m∠CDE = (6x-13)^{\circ}(6x−13) ∘ , m∠BCD = (2x+10)^{\circ}(2x+
AveGali [126]

Answer:

  m∠CDE = 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle CDE is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles, BCD and DBC. So, you have ...

  6x -13 = (2x+10) +(x +1)

  3x -24 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract the right side, simplify

  x -8 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

  x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 8

  6x -13 = 6·8 -13 = 35 . . . . substitute for x in the expression for CDE

The measure of angle CDE is 35°.

Serena and Sienna both work for a company that pays 12 dollars per hour for the first 40 hours of work in a week. If an employee
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

87 total hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation 456/12 Gives you how many hours Sienna worked. (38)

642-480 will give you how much money Serena made off of Just OT (162)

162/18 = 9 (9 is how many overtime hours Serena worked.)

Serena worked her normal 40 hours, then worked over time, so you have to add 40 to the equation.

9+40+38 = 87

Serena and Sienna worked 87 total hours.

What are the coordinates of the points in this graph
jeka94

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

(7, -5)

<em><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></em>

We can see the dot, is 7 units to the right of the y axis, and 5 down from the x-axis. We then can create the coordinates because we know where it is:

If it is on the right side of the y-axis, it is positive. If it is below the x-axis, it is negative so:

(7, -5) would be the coordinate point
