Hi there!
We can use right-triangle trigonometry to solve.
We are given the HYPOTENUSE and ADJACENT sides, so we must use cosine in this instance.
cosθ = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
We can plug in what is given:
cos(28) = A/17
Solve for 'A':
17cos(28) = <u>15.01 ft</u>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the center and the radius, we need to put the equation in the (x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2 [a is the x-coordinate, b is the y-coordinate, and r is the radius].
(x+6)^2+(y+7)^2 - 36 - 49 + 69 = 0
(x+6)^2+(y+7)^2 - 16 = 0
(x+6)^2+(y+7)^2 = 16
(x+6)^2+(y+7)^2 = 4^2
The center is (-6,-7) and the radius is 4.
Hope this helps!

Putting the value of Y = 15

So, X = 200
Answer:
a) 0.4164
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean lifespan (μ) = 18.8 days
Standard deviation (σ) = 2 days
For any given lifespan 'X', the z-score is:

For X=12.04 days:

A z-score of -3.38 falls in the 0.036-th percentile of a normal distribution.
For X=18.38 days:

A z-score of -3.38 falls in the 41.68th percentile of a normal distribution.
The probability that a butterfly lives between 12.04 and 18.38 days is
