Answer:

Option B) 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  A man on the third floor of a building shouts down to a person on the street. If the man is 25 feet up and the distance between the person on the street and the man in the building is 50 feet.

To find : What is the angle of elevation (in degrees) between the person on the street and the person in the building?

Solution :

According to question, a rough diagram is framed which shows the position of  man on street and man on building.

Refer the attached figure below.

A man on the third floor of a building is 25 feet up i.e. AB=25 feet.

The distance between the person on the street and the man in the building is 50 feet i.e. BC=50 feet.

We have to find the angle of elevation i.e. ∠C.

It form a right angle triangle,

Applying sin property of trigonometric,

\sin \theta=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

\sin \theta=\frac{AB}{BC}

\sin \theta=\frac{25}{50}

\sin \theta=\frac{1}{2}

\sin \theta=\sin 30^\circ

\theta=30^\circ

Therefore, Option B is correct.

The angle of elevation is 30°.

The distance between two positions with longitudes A and B is given by ||A| - |B|| if the two positions are at the same side of the meridian (0 degrees longitude) and |A| + |B| if both positions are at different sides of the meridian.

Given that <span>Moscow is at 37.62 degrees longitude and Brasilia is at -47.87 degrees longitude, thus the two cities are at different sides of the meridian.

Therefore, the distance </span><span>(in degrees) between the longitude lines of Moscow and Brasilia</span> is |37.62| + |-47.87| = 37.62 + 47.87 = 85.49

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

95.15%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the mean (m) is equal to 20, the standard deviation (sd) 3

They ask us for P (x <25)

For this, the first thing is to calculate z, which is given by the following equation:

z = (x - m) / sd

We have all these values, replacing we have:

z = (25 - 20) / (3)

z = 1.66

With the normal distribution table (attached), we have that at that value, the probability is:

P (z <1.66) = 0.9515

Which means that the probability that it arrives before 25 minutes is 95.15%
