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

Fwam surveyed 540 of the students in his school about their favorite color. students could choose between red and blue. 55% said
Digiron [165]

Answer:

243 students' favorite color is red

Step-by-step explanation:

if 55% of the students said their favorite color was blue, then 45% chose that red was their favorite color

we can get 45% of 540 using a cross-multiplication equation

45% is 45/100

45/100 is to ?/540

the (?) represents the value of students who chose red as their favorite color (we do not know this but we can figure it out using cross-multiplication)

45 times 540 is 24300

24300/100 = 243.

Give brainliest, please!

hope this helps :)

Reasoning in a laboratory, the probability a bacterial colony thrives is 70%. The numbers 0 to 6 represent the outcome that a co
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The probability that exactly half of the colonies will thrive = (1/3) = 0.3333

Step-by-step explanation:

The list of random numbers simulates the out comes of 4 colonies.

Based On the simulation in 6 trails, what is the probability that exactly half of the colonies will thrive?

The probability of an event is given mathematically as the number of elements in the event divided the total number of elements in the sample space.

Noting that the numbers 0 to 6 indicate that a colony thrives and the number 7 to 9 represent that a colony doesn't thrive.

The 6 trials are given as

4285; 3 colonies thrive, 1 doesn't.

6903; 3 colonies thrive, 1 doesn't.

3829; 2 colonies thrive, 2 don't.

7871; 1 colony thrives, 3 don't.

2868; 2 colonies thrive, 2 don't.

5137; 3 colonies thrive, 1 doesn't.

The number of trials where exactly 2 colonies thrive = 2

The total number of trials = 6

The probability that exactly half of the colonies will thrive = (2/6) = (1/3) = 0.3333

Hope this Helps!!!
