Answer:

30.11 meters ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the distance of a point P ( lies on the building ) from the top of the building such that AP is perpendicular to the building and y be the distance of the building from point A, ( shown in the below diagram )

Given,

Point A is 8.20 m above level ground,

So, the height of the building = ( x + 8.20 ) meters,

Now, 1 degree = 60 minutes,

⇒ 1\text{ minute } =\frac{1}{60}\text{ degree }

20\text{ minutes }=\frac{20}{60}=\frac{1}{3}\text{ degree}

50\text{ minutes }=\frac{50}{60}=\frac{5}{6}\text{ degree}

By the below diagram,

tan ( 12^{\circ} 50') = \frac{8.20}{y}

tan(12+\frac{5}{6})^{\circ}=\frac{8.20}{y}

tan (\frac{77}{6})^{\circ}=\frac{8.20}{y}

\implies y=\frac{8.20}{tan (\frac{77}{6})^{\circ}}

Now, again by the below diagram,

tan (31^{\circ}20')=\frac{x}{y}

tan(31+\frac{1}{3})=\frac{x}{y}

\implies x=y\times tan(\frac{94}{3})=\frac{8.20}{tan (\frac{77}{6})^{\circ}}\times tan(\frac{94}{3})^{\circ}=21.9142943216\approx 21.91

Hence, the height of the building = x + 8.20 = 30.11 meters (approx)

Annette [7]

Answer:

0.24315

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the z score formula to solve this question

z = (x - μ) / σ,

Such that:

x = raw score

μ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation.

From the question:

x = 3000

μ = 3550

σ = 870

z = (3000 - 3550) / 870

z = -550/870

z = -0.6962

Using the z score table as well as probability calculator(as requested in the question to find the z score)

The probability of having less than 3000 is obtained as:

P(x<3000) = 0.24315
