This is a proportion problem. Let the monument me x feet tall.
40/x=5/6
Cross multiply:
240=5x
x=48 ft.
So the monument is 48 ft tall,

Answer:

48\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Adam is 6 feet tall and casts a 5-foot shadow

A monument casts a 40-foot shadow

so

by proportion

Find how tall is the monument

Let

x------> the height of the monument

\frac{6}{5}=\frac{x}{40}\\ \\ x=40*6/5\\\\x=48\ ft

Find the probability that a randomly generated bit string of length 10 does not contain a 0 if bits are independent and if a 0 b
jeka94

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information; Let's assume that  R should represent the set of all possible outcomes generated from  a bit string of length 10 .

So; as each place is fitted with either 0 or 1

\mathbf{|R|= 2^{10}}

Similarly; the event E signifies the randomly generated bit string of length 10 does not contain a 0

Now;

if  a 0 bit and a 1 bit are equally likely

The probability that a randomly generated bit string of length 10 does not contain a 0 if bits are independent and if a 0 bit and a 1 bit are equally likely is;

\mathbf{P(E) = \dfrac{|E|}{|R|}}

so ; if bits string should not contain a 0 and all other places should be occupied by 1; Then:

\mathbf{{|E|}=1 }   ; \mathbf{|R|= 2^{10}}

\mathbf{P(E) = \dfrac{1}{2^{10}}}

Alexxx [7]
Angle 1 = 30°
Angle 2 = 90°
⇒ Angle 3 = 60°
So, it's right triangle. We can set the length of one side and get all other sides.
So, we have 1 triangle. If there are 2 or more triangles with the same data, all the triangles will be congruent because of : <span>Two triangles are </span><span>congruent if </span>"<span>ASA: Two interior angles and the included side in a triangle have the same measure and length, respectively, as those in the other triangle</span><span>.</span>"
