Answer:

  5956 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If we designate the points at the bases of the skyscrapers as A and B, and the top of skyscraper B as point T, then triangle ABT is a right triangle with angle B = 90° and angle A = 13.7°.

The definition of the tangent function tells us ...

  tan(A) = BT/AB

Solving for AB, we find ...

  AB = BT/tan(A) = (1452 ft)/tan(13.7°)

  AB ≈ 5956 ft

The skyscrapers are about 5956 feet apart.

Which of the following is the equation for the graph shown?
serious [3.7K]

The Answer is A

Explanation:

The standard form equation for an ellipse is:

(x - h)² / a² + (y - k)² / b² = 1

So looking at the picture above you can see that the center of the ellipse is at the origin which is (0;0) making both h and k zero.

It is then observed that the x-intercepts are at 12 meaning a=12 and y- intercepts are at approximately square root of 95 which is 9.746... which are 'k'

So you can conclude by saying that:

x²/12² + y²/(sqrt of 95)² = 1

then giving you the answer of A which is:

x²/144 + y²/95 = 1

The weight distribution of parcels sent in a certain manner is normal with mean value 17 lb and standard deviation 3.3 lb. The p
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer: The value of c would be 26.514 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 17 lb

Standard deviation = 3.3 lb

At 99%  level of significance, z = 2.58

So, it becomes,

Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\2.58=\dfrac{X-17}{3.3}\\\\2.58\times 3.3=X-17\\\\8.514+17=X\\\\X=25.514

So, the weight c would be

c=25.514+1\\\\c=26.514

Hence, the value of c would be 26.514 lb.
