The altitude of the plane is 8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
In the right triangle ABC
tan(72°)=h/x
h=xtan(72°) -----> equation A
In the right triangle ABD
tan(55°)=h/(x+3)
h=(x+3)tan(55°) -----> equation B
equate equation A and equation B and solve for x
xtan(72°)=(x+3)tan(55°)
xtan(72°)-xtan(55°)=3tan(55°)
x[tan(72°)-tan(55°)]=3tan(55°)
x=3tan(55°)/[tan(72°)-tan(55°)]
Find the value of h
h=xtan(72°)
h=[3tan(55°)*tan(72°)]/[tan(72°)-tan(55°)]
h=8 miles

balandron [24]

Answer:

1.\ \ np\geq 10\\\\2.\ \ n\geq 10x

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let x be the sample size and n the population size

-The conditions for a one-sample proportion z-test are:

-The sample is randomly selected from the population.

-The sample size is greater than or equal to ten times the population size:

n\geq 10x\\\\n=2000\\x=150\\10x=1500\\\therefore n\geq 10x

-The expectation np is greater than or equal to 10:

np\geq 10\\n=2000, p=0.6\\np=1200\\\\Hence, np\geq 10

Look at the face of the pyramid facing you.  The length of the base of this pyramid is 82 m; half of that is 41 m.  

If you were to draw a straight vertical line through the vertex of the pyramid, the bottom of this line would be at the very center of the base and also be 41 in perpendicular distance from any of the edges of the base of this pyramid.

Let the height of the pyramid be y, as measured upward from the center of the base of the pyramid.  This center is, as before, 41 m from any side of the pyramid base, a horiz. distance.

Then, tan 52 deg = y / 41 m, and so y = height of pyramid =

(41 m)(tan 52 deg)  = (41 m) (1.28) = 52.48 m

Evelyn has 12.7 quarte of fruit punch in a cooler. She pours the fruit punch into glasses. She fills 5 glasses, each with a capa
Alexus [3.1K]
There is 6.74 quarts left in the cooler.

Since 5 of the glasses have a capacity of 0.36 qt, this is a total of 5(0.36) = 1.8 qt.  The 8 glasses that have a capacity of 0.52 qt have a total of 8(0.52) = 4.16 qt.  This gives a total of 4.16+1.8 = 5.96 qt.

To find the remaining, subtract from 12.7:
12.7-5.96 = 6.74 qt.
