Mathematics

Answer:

First, estimate between two whole numbers by finding the perfect squares nearest to the target number. Next, identify which value the non-perfect square root is closer to, then use the iterative process to approximate further to the tenths place, and then further to the hundredths place.

Hope this helps!

The angle of elevation from me to the top of a hill is 51 degrees. The angle of elevation from me to the top of a tree is 57 deg

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Approximately $101\; \rm ft$ (assuming that the height of the base of the hill is the same as that of the observer.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the diagram attached.

Let $\rm O$ denote the observer.
Let $\rm A$ denote the top of the tree.
Let $\rm R$ denote the base of the tree.
Let $\rm B$ denote the point where line $\rm AR$ (a vertical line) and the horizontal line going through $\rm O$ meets. $\angle \rm B\hat{A}R = 90^\circ$ .

Angles:

Angle of elevation of the base of the tree as it appears to the observer: $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ .
Angle of elevation of the top of the tree as it appears to the observer: $\angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ$ .

Let the length of segment $\rm BR$ (vertical distance between the base of the tree and the base of the hill) be $x\; \rm ft$ .

The question is asking for the length of segment $\rm AB$ . Notice that the length of this segment is $\mathrm{AB} = (x + 20)\; \rm ft$ .

The length of segment $\rm OB$ could be represented in two ways:

In right triangle $\rm \triangle OBR$ as the side adjacent to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ .
In right triangle $\rm \triangle OBA$ as the side adjacent to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ$ .

For example, in right triangle $\rm \triangle OBR$ , the length of the side opposite to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ is segment $\rm BR$ . The length of that segment is $x\; \rm ft$ .

$\begin{aligned}\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)} = \frac{\,\rm {BR}\,}{\,\rm {OB}\,} \; \genfrac{}{}{0em}{}{\leftarrow \text{opposite}}{\leftarrow \text{adjacent}}\end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange to find an expression for the length of $\rm OB$ (in $\rm ft$ ) in terms of $x$ :

$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{BR}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x}{\tan\left(51^\circ\right)}\approx 0.810\, x\end{aligned}$ .

Similarly, in right triangle $\rm \triangle OBA$ :

$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}A}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x + 20}{\tan\left(57^\circ\right)}\approx 0.649\, (x + 20)\end{aligned}$ .

Equate the right-hand side of these two equations:

$0.810\, x \approx 0.649\, (x + 20)$ .

Solve for $x$ :

$x \approx 81\; \rm ft$ .

Hence, the height of the top of this tree relative to the base of the hill would be $(x + 20)\; {\rm ft}\approx 101\; \rm ft$ .

The circumference of a circle is 15 pie centimeters. What is the area of the circle in terms of pie

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference (C) of a circle = 2πr ← r is the radius

Given C = 15π the equating gives

2πr = 15π ( divide both sides by 2π )

r = $\frac{15}{2}$ = 7.5 cm

The area (A) of a circle is calculated using the formula

A = πr² = π × 7.5² = 56.25π cm² → C

In a group of 50 patrons, 12 patrons like lattes and espressos, 9 patrons like espressos and cappuccinos, 8 patrons like lattes

quester [9]

I used a Venn Diagram which I attached.
Think of it as a flower and work your way from the center out to the doubles (two kinds of coffee) and finally the singles (only one kind of coffee)
I place 4 in the center to represent the people that like all three.
Then I put 8 in the Latte Espresso group since they along with the 4 who like all three, make up the 12 who like lattes and espresso. I put 4 in the Latte & Cappuccino group since they and the 4 who like all coffees, make up the 8 who like lattes and cappuccinos. And then I put 5 in the Espresso Cappuccino group who along with the 4 in the middle make up the 9 who like both of those.
In all 20 like lattes and my latte circle already has 16 so I added 4 (who only like lattes). 22 like espresso and I have accounted for 17 (8+4+5) so that means there are 5 who only like espresso. Finally out of the 17 who like cappuccinos, 13 are already accounted for so I will add 4 who like only cappuccinos.
Since there are 50 people and I can account for 34 of them (add all the numbers in all three circles), there must be 50-34 people who don't like any. The correct answer is d.16

Matt thinks that he has a special relationship with the number 4. In particular, Matt thinks that he would roll a 4 with a fair

Ahat [919]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Matt thinks that he has a special relationship with the number 2. In particular, Matt thinks that he would roll a 2 with a fair 6-sided die more often than you'd expect by chance alone. Suppose p is the true proportion of the time Matt will roll a 2.

(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses for testing Matt's claim. (Type the symbol "p" for the population proportion, whichever symbols you need of "<", ">", "=", "not =" and express any values as a fraction e.g. p = 1/3)

H0 =

Ha =

(b) Now suppose Matt makes n = 46 rolls, and a 2 comes up 10 times out of the 46 rolls. Determine the P-value of the test:

P-value = ( u figure it out) u got it
