<h3>Answer: 73</h3>

==================================================

Work Shown:

Check out the diagram below. Note the pair of alternate interior angles that are congruent (each 37 degrees). Then focus on triangle ABC. With the reference angle being at A, this means we use the tangent function because BC = x is the opposite side and AB = 97 is the adjacent side.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(A) = BC/AB

tan(37) = x/97

97*tan(37) = x

x = 97*tan(37)

x = 73.094742859971

For the last step, you'll need a calculator that can handle trig functions. Make sure the calculator is in degree mode. The result here is approximate. This rounds to 73 when rounding to the nearest whole number.

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

13.3

Step-by-step explanation:

There is an equation that helps

mean= (All of the numbers in the data added) divided by (the number of numbers in the data)

What that mean is:

1.) Add 20, 5, 7, 17, 16, and 15

2.) divided by 6 (because there is 6 numbers in the data)

3.) round it to the nearest number (numbers from the one's place being 4-0 means go back or 5-9 means go forward a number)

which in this case it should be 13.33333...=13.3

Tony was Challenged to a half-court shooting competition. For every half-court shot that he makes, he will earn 20 points. For e

Mkey [24]

Answer:

Tony make 4 half-court shots and misses 16 half-court shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Points earned for every successful, half-court shots = $20$

Points deducted for missing the shots = $5$ or $-5$

Total number of shots in the game = $20$

Final points earned by Tony = $0$

According to the question:

Let the number of successful half-court shot be $x$

And the number of shots missed be $20-x$

So,

In terms of points we can re-write it as:

⇒ $20(x)-5(20-x) =0$

⇒ $20x-100+5x=0$

⇒ $25x-100=0$

⇒ $25x-100+100=100$

⇒ $25x=100$

⇒ $\frac{25x}{25} =\frac{100}{25}$

⇒ $x=\frac{100}{25}$

⇒ $x=4$

Tony make 'x' shots that is 4 and the number of shot he missed is (20-x) =(20-4)=16

Sauron [17]

Answer:

167/346 or 0.483

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of Tails (T) = 167

Number of Heads (H) = 179

Probability of tail, P(T) =?

Next, we shall determine total outcome. This can be obtained as follow:

Number of Tails (T) = 167

Number of Heads (H) = 179

Total outcome (S) =?

S = T + H

S = 167 + 179

Total outcome (S) = 346

Finally, we shall determine the probability of tails. This can be obtained as follow:

Number of Tails (T) = 167

Total outcome (S) = 346

Probability of tail, P(T) =?

P(T) = T / S

P(T) = 167 / 346

P(T) = 0.483

Thus, the probability of tails is 167/346 or 0.483
