The information's given in the question are of vital importance. These information's should be very useful while getting to the desired answer of the given question.Let us now concentrate on the problem that needs to be solved.
The height of the sign that casts a shadow of 4 meters is = 5 meters
Then
The height of the tree that casts a shadow of 30 meters = (5/4) * 30 meters
                                                                                          = 150/4 meters
                                                                                          = 37.5 meters
So the tree casting a shadow of 30 meters is actually 37.5 meters in height. I hope the procedure is simple enough for you to understand.

Suppose the average price of gasoline for a city in the United States follows a continuous uniform distribution with a lower bou
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

P(X

And we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

F(x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a} , a \leq X \leq b

And for this case we can write the probability like this:

P(X

And then the final answer for this case would be \frac{2}{3}=0.667

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define our random variable X "price of gasoline for a city in the USA" and we know the distribution is given by:

X \sim Unif (a=3.5, b=3.8)

And for this case the density function is given by:

f(x) = \frac{x}{b-a}= \frac{x}{3.8-3.5}=, 3.5 \leq X \leq 3.8

And we want to calculate the following probability:

P(X

And we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

F(x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a} , a \leq X \leq b

And for this case we can write the probability like this:

P(X

And then the final answer for this case would be \frac{2}{3}=0.667

What is the slope of the line?
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, slope is rise/run

Start from a point on the line and count up and over until you reach another point on the line.

For example, start from (0,-2), count up and left until you get to (-2,0). This gets you 2/2, which reduces to 1.

Since the line represents a negative slope, the slope is -1.

A ladder placed against a wall will form a triangle with the wall and the ground. Using geometric ratios you can calculate the missing values. If you have an angle of 75.5 degrees and a hypotenuse/diagonal of 10, you need to calculate the height. Use sine.

Sine=opposite/hypotenuse

Sin75.5=0.97

0.97=opposite/10

10 x 0.97 = 9.7

The maximum height that the ladder can reach is 9.7 meters
