Answer:
26.2655 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Whenever possible, draw a diagram. I've attached a picture of the balloon and the lines of depression (not drawn to scale, of course).
As you can see, the angles of depression form alternate interior angles with the ground (angles of elevation). So these angles are also 13° and 39°.
We can use the tangents of these angles to find the base lengths of the two triangles that are formed.
tan 13° = 4 / a
a = 4 / tan 13°
tan 39° = 4 / b
b = 4 / tan 39°
So the total distance is:
a + b
= 4 / tan 13° + 4 / tan 39°
≈ 22.2655

#3. the probability of spinning "rock" is 25% or 1/4 so we can use this probability to predict the number of times we would expect to get "rock" in 80 spins as follows:
25% of 80 = .25(80) = 20 So how likely is it we spin 20 'rock' out of 80 spins? At 25%, not very likely..
#4.
A. True
B. True
C. False, the theoretical probability of make make using the spinner is
or about 56%
