Answer:

19.8m

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attached diagram:

  • The man's eye level is at point A,
  • The height of the tree is BC.
  • The angle of elevation at A is 61 degrees.
  • The distance of the man at A to the tree BC is 11 meters.

This forms the right triangle ABC.

We want to determine the height labeled h.

Using Trigonometry:

\tan \theta =\dfrac{BC}{AB}\\ \tan 61^\circ =\dfrac{h}{11}\\h=11 \times  \tan 61^\circ\\h=19.8$ m

The height of the tree is 19.8 meters to the nearest tenth of a meter.

Captain Emily has a ship, the H.M.S Crimson Lynx. The ship is five furlongs from the dread pirate Umaima and her merciless band
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = 0.514

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the captain hits the pirate ship

The probability of the captain hitting the pirate ship, P(A) = 3/5

Let B be the event that the pirate hits the captain's ship

The probability of the pirate hitting the captain's ship P(B) = 1/7

The probability of the pirate missing the captain's ship, P'(B) = 1 - P(B)

P'(B) = 1 - 1/7 = 6/7

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = P(A) * P(B) = 3/5 * 6/7

= 0.514

What is the circumstance of the circle P .
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

=6π ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is calculated using the formula C=2πr where r is the radius and C the circumference of the circle.

In the circle provided r= 3ft

C= 2π × (3ft)

=6π ft

We do not use the approximate value of pi as the question demands us to leave pi unsolved.
