When you make a drawing with the instructions, and call x the altitude of the plane and y the distance from the angle 72 ° to the point straight below the plane, you obtain these equations

tan(55°) = x / (2.2 + y)

tan (72°) = x / y

You solve y from the second equation

y = x / tan(72°)

Substitute y in the first equation

tan (55°) = x /(2.2 + x/tan(72°)

Solve for x:

x = tan(55)[2.2 + x/tan(72) ]

x = tan(55) (2.2) + x tan(55)/tan(72)

x - x tan (55)/tan(72) = 2.2 tan (55)

Now substitute the values of the tangents

tan (55) = 1.4281
tan(72) = 3.0777

x - 0.464x = 3.1419

x = 3.1419 / (1-0.464) =5.86 m

Ah ... it is a toy plane! I guess.

The volume of a CONE-shaped hole is 75pi ft cubed. If the hole is 9 feet deep, what is the radius of the hole?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The radius of hole is 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Depth of conical hole = 9 feet

Let the radius of hole be r

Volume of conical hole =\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h

So, Volume of conical hole =\frac{1}{3} \pi \times r^2 \times 9

We are given that volume of a CONE-shaped hole is 75pi ft cubed.

So,\frac{1}{3} \pi \times r^2 \times 9=75 \pi

\frac{1}{3} \times r^2 \times 9=75

r^2=\frac{75 \times 3}{9}

r=\sqrt{\frac{75 \times 3}{9}}

r=5

Hence The radius of hole is 5 feet

solo el 20% de los empleados de la población civil que está en una base militar restringida porta su identificación personal. Si
prisoha [69]

Usando la distribución binomial, hay una probabilidad de 0.8926 = 89.26% de que el guardia de seguridad encuentre al menos uno en la base militar restringida.

<h3>¿Qué es la distribución binomial?</h3>

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Los parámetros son:

  • n es el número de ensayos.
  • p es la probabilidad de éxito en un ensayo
  • x es el número de éxitos

En este problema, hay que:

  • 20% de los empleados de la población civil que está en una base militar restringida porta su identificación personal, o sea p = 0.2.
  • Llegan 10 empleados, o sea, n = 10.

La probabilidad de que el guardia de seguridad encuentre al menos uno en la base militar restringida es dada por:

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

En que:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.1074

Por eso:

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.1074 = 0.8926

Hay una probabilidad de 0.8926 = 89.26% de que el guardia de seguridad encuentre al menos uno en la base militar restringida.

True [87]

Answer:

$8.53

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you do is convert the oz into pounds. There is 16 oz in a pound so our fraction is 9/16 which is 0.5625 . Then adding to the pounds it becomes 6.5625 pounds. Then multiply by 1.3.
