The tangent function gives the ratio of vertical to horizontal distance in this case.
.. vertical distance = (horizontal distance)*tan(angle of depression)
.. = (40 m)*tan(50°)
.. vertical distance ≈ 47.7 m

Answer:
27 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Combined perimeter = perimeter of rectangle + perimeter of triangle = 63 inches
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L + W)
L = 11 in.
W = 7 in.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(11 + 7) = 36 in.
Let perimeter of the triangle be represented by x
Therefore:
36 + x = 63
Subtract 36 from each side
x = 63 - 36
x = 27
Perimeter of triangle = 27 inches
Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem, which is a^2+b^2=c^2
The formula would lead to:
6^2+8^2=x^2
36+64=x^2
100=x^2
10=x
There are 12 total sections, of which 3 are blue. So the probability of spinning a blue is 3/12 which reduces to 1/4.
Each spin is independent.....because 1 spin does not effect the other spin. If u should spin a blue on the first spin...this does not effect what ur second spin will land on
