Answer:

The lenthts of the ropes, as per the figure attached, are

  • <u>27 ft </u>(rope A) and
  • <u>32ft</u> (rope B)

Explanation:

See the figure attached for any reference.

We can find the lengths of both ropes using the law of sines.

<u>1. Rope A:</u>

   \dfrac{RopeA}{sin42\º}=\dfrac{40ft}{sin86\º}\\ \\\\\\RopeA=40ft \times \dfrac{sin42\º}{sin86\º}=26.8ft\approx 27ft

<u>2. Rope B</u>

First, calculate the included angle: 180º - 86º - 42º = 52º

Now use the law of sines:

\dfrac{RopeB}{sin52\º}=\dfrac{40ft}{sin86\º}\\ \\\\\\RopeB=40ft \times \dfrac{sin52\º}{sin86\º}=31.6ft\approx 32ft

Select the graph for the solution of the open sentence. Click until the correct graph appears. 2|x| + 1 &lt; 5
Paul [167]

Answer:

The correct answer is x < 2 or x > -2. The graph would be a line between -2 and 2 with an open circle on both.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, first solve the equation for the absolute value portion of the equation.

2|x| + 1 < 5

2|x| < 4

|x| < 2

Now since there is an absolute value around it, we have to complete it for the positive and negative versions.

x < 2 OR x > -2

A sample of 100 cans of peas shown an average weight of 14 oz with a standard deviation of 0.7 Oz. Construct a 95% confidence in
Ahat [919]

A 95% confidence  interval on the z-table is 1.96.

Now find the standard error using the formula: standard deviation /  square root sample size:

0.7 / √100 = 0.07

Multiply to the confidence interval: 1.96 x 0.07 = 0.137 = 0.14

Now add and subtract tot he average weight:

14 - 0.14 = 13.86

14 + 0.14 = 14.14

The answer is 13.96 ≤ u ≤ 14.14
