Draw a line from 65 to the opposite side you get X and 16 is the hypotenuse
So this sine opposite over hypotenuse

Sin (65)= X/ 16
Sin (65) times 16 is 14.5

The length BC is \boxed{14.5\:\text{cm}}.

Explanation:

The given triangle is a right angle triangle at angle C and the angle A equals 65^{\circ}.  

In a right angled triangle, the two sides which make the right angle or which are perpendicular, are called the base and the height of the right angle triangle. The third side, the largest of the three is called the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.  

From the figure, it is observed that AC is the base, BC is the height and AB is the hypotenuse.

The formula for trigonometric identities \sin(\theta), \cos(\theta) and \tan(\theta), where \theta is the angle between hypotenuse and base, is as shown below.

\sin\theta =\dfrac{\text{Height}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}\\\tan\theta=\dfrac{\text{Height}}{\text{Base}}

Substitute 65^{\circ} for \theta, 16 for hypotenuse and x for height in the formula for sine of angle \theta.

\boxed{\begin{aligned}\sin(65^{\circ} )& = \dfrac{x}{16}\\0.906307787 \cdot 16& = x\\x&=14.5\end{aligned}}

Thus, the length of the side BC is \boxed{14.5\:\text{cm}}.

Population parameters are difficult to calculate due to
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

1

option d

2

option a

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

The population is difficult to cover because it involves a lot of cost on procedure. Further, whole population is difficult to cover and it is infeasible to collect data on entire population. For example we want to check the quality of rice in production unit, we could n't test all grains of rice to check the quality rather than we take a portion of rice grains for quality check. Here, if the whole lot of a rice grains are taken then first drawback would be that it will be costly and second it is infeasible to collect data for whole lot of a rice grains.

2)

Teacher's union is planning to calculate the average salary for only high school teachers in a country and salaries for other teachers are not considered. So, from teachers population a sample of high school teacher in a country is selected. Thus, the calculated average will be sample statistic.

ANSWER QUICKLY PLEASE
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

answer below:)

Step-by-step explanation:

sin C= \frac{opposite side}{hypotenuse side}= \frac{7}{25}

cos C= \frac{adjacent side}{hypotenuse side}= \frac{24}{25}

tan C=\frac{opposite side}{adjacent side}= \frac{7}{24}
