an in the building is 35° and the man in the building is 40 feet up, about how far away from the building is the person on the street? A) 28 feet B) 55 feet C) 56 feet D) 57 feet

57 ft because drawing it up, we can make a right angled triangle with the right angle between the height of the man in the building and the distance out from the building of the man in the street, and the 35 degrees between the line connecting the man in the street with the man in the building, and the line out from the building of the man in the street. Then, tan of the 35 degree angle is = to opposite (40ft)/adjacent (to solve for). By cross multiplication, the A or adjacent (dist out from the building) = 40/0.7 (0.7 = tan of 35 degrees) so the answer is 57 ft.

The correct answer is 57 feet. Since this is a right triangle and you know the angle and opposite side and are trying to find the adjacent side you can use tangent. tan  = \frac{40}{x}, so  x = \frac{40}{tan(35)}.

Four teams A,B,C, and D compete in a tournament, and exactly one of them will win the tournament. Teams A and B have the same ch
beks73 [17]

Answer:

A= 0,2

B= 0,2

C= 0,4

D=0,2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that only one team can win, so the sum of each probability of wining  is one

P(A)+P(B)+P(C)+P(D)=1

then we Know that the probability of Team A and B are the same, so

P(A)=P(B)

And that the  the probability that either team A or team C wins the tournament is 0.6, so P(A)+Pc)= 0,6, then P(C)= 0.6-P(A)

Also, we know that team C is twice as likely to win the tournament as team D, so P(C)= 2 P(D) so P(D) = P(C)/2= (0.6-P(A))/2

Now if we use the first formula:

P(A)+P(B)+P(C)+P(D)=1

P(A)+P(A)+0.6-P(A)+(0.6-P(A))/2=1

0,5 P(A)+0.9=1

0,5 P(A)= 0,1

P(A)= 0,2

P(B)= 0,2

P(C)=0,4

P(D)=0,2

Kitty [74]

Answer:

3.3333333333333...

Step-by-step explanation:

5 (2/3) = 3.33333333333 (repeating decimal)

Also,

10 (2/3) = 6.66666666666666666 (repeating decimal)

6.66666666666666 / 2 = 3.33333333333333 (repeating decimal)

Given the function h of x equals three times the square root x plus 1 end root minus 2, which statement is true about h(x)?
topjm [15]

A function assigns the values. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is a Function?</h3>

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set.

The given function h(x)=3(\sqrt{x+1})-2 when plotted on the graph will look as shown below. Therefore, the function is increasing on the interval (–1, ∞).

Hence, the correct option is D.

Can someone help me with the first 3 as it is my first time doing it ? <br> I need help
Fed [463]

You problem is you don't have any problem. You have a bunch of formulas for the perimeter and area of some shapes.

As for using the formulas, usually you're given all but one of the variables and you can solve for the remaining one.

Notice how the triangle result doesn't have area as a function of a, b and c. That's called Heron's formula and is usually not taught to secondary school students. I don't like to teach it either because Archimedes' Theorem is so much better:

The sides a,b,c and area S of a triangle satisfy

16S^2 = (a+b+c)(-a+b+c)(a-b+c)(a+b-c) = 4a^2b^2-(c^2-a^2-b^2)^2 = (a^2+b^2+c^2)^2 - 2(a^4+b^4+c^4)
