Answer:

The distance between the cruise ship and the sail boat is 517 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cruise ship is 236 feet tall, and the sailboat is 236 tall; this means the distance between the top of the cruise ship and the top of the sail boat is

236 feet - 27 feet = 209 feet.

We also know that the angel of depression from the top of the cruise ship to the bottom of the cruise ship is 22°. This forms a right triangle as shown in the figure attached.

Now from trigonometry we get:

tan \: \theta = \dfrac{209}{d}

d= \dfrac{209}{tan\:\theta }

\boxed{d=517ft}

The distance between the cruise ship and the sailboat is 517 feet.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex finally understands how Bob was trying to trick him into winning the bet because of how he puts in the condition for probability being less than 10%. Whichever way the outcome of the coin toss turns out to be, it will be in Bob's favor and Alex will lose the bet. If the coin is flipped 3 times, the probability of having heads exactly twice is \frac{4}{9}
