Answer:

128.67 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Topic: Trigonometric Functions

You should be familiar with the concept of trigonometric functions because this topic involves degrees of traingles with the lenght of their sides, as you can see in the image, you need to remember which trigonometric function involves both sides (not hypotenuse) of a triangle, let's review

O= opposite, A = adjacent, H = Hypotenuse, α = 65°

sen (α) = \frac{O}{H}

cos(α) = \frac{A}{H}

tan(α) = \frac{O}{A}

guess which of them works? yeah its tan(α), so we have that

tan(65°) = \frac{h}{60 ft}

findig h in the previous equation we have that

60 ft * tan(65°) = h

computing in a calculator it means that the height (h) of the tower is

h = 128. 67 ft

You may remember that the perimeter of a rectangle is P=2(W+L) where W is the width and L is the length.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Step-by-step explanation:

So, x=width and the width=13+L. The formula for perimeter is 2(L)+2(W) and the total perimeter in this question is 62 feet. That means 2(L)+2(13+L)=62 feet. Solve for L and that's going to be your length. Add the length plus 13 and you'll have the width. Double check the equation by plugging the width and length back into the equation. (Does that help?)

The sale bin in a clothing store contains an assortment of t-shirts in different sizes. There are 7 small, 8 medium, and 4 large
umka21 [38]

Answer:

P(at least 1 large) = 0.648

P(at least 1 large) = 64.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 7 small shirts, 8 medium shirts and 4 large shirts

Total number of shirts = 7 + 8 + 4 = 19 shirts

The probability that at least one of the first four shirts he checks is a large is given by

P(at least 1 large) = 1 - P(no large)

So first we need to find the probability that the none of the first four shirts he checks are large.

For the first check, there are 15 small and medium shirts and total 19 shirts so,

15/19

For the second check, there are 14 small and medium shirts and total 18 shirts left so,

14/18

For the third check, there are 13 small and medium shirts and total 17 shirts left so,

13/17

For the forth check, there are 12 small and medium shirts and total 16 shirts left so,

12/16

the probability of not finding the large shirt is,

P(no large) = 15/19*14/18*13/17*12/16

P(no large) = 0.352

Therefore, the probability of finding at least one large shirt is,

P(at least 1 large) = 1 - P(no large)

P(at least 1 large) = 1 - 0.352

P(at least 1 large) = 0.648

P(at least 1 large) = 64.8%
