Answer:

Answer in terms of a trigonometric function :

h = \frac{20tan(19.9)}{0.4-tan(19.9)}

Answer in figures

h = 190.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the sketch attached below to better understand the problem.

Let x be the distance between point B and the base of the water tower.

tan (19.9)=\frac{h}{50+x} ---------------equation 1\\

tan (21.8)=\frac{h}{x}----------------equation 2

From equation 2,

x =\frac{h}{tan21.8}=\frac{h}{0.4}

substituting the value of x into equation 1, we get

tan (19.9)=\frac{h}{50+(\frac{h}{0.4} )}

tan 19.9=h\times \frac{0.4}{20+h}

cross multiplying,

20\times tan(19.9) +htan(19.9)=0.4h

20tan(19.9)= h(0.4-tan(19.9))

h= \frac{20tan (19.9)}{0.4-tan (19.9)}

The height of the tower is h= \frac{20tan (19.9)}{0.4-tan (19.9)} in terms of the trig function "Tan"

The equation can simply be evaluated to get the answer in figures since the angles are given in the question

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Unfortunately, we can't do anything with 41 as it has no factors. Since 3\sqrt{41} is already simplified, try submitting that as your answer. If that doesn't work then try un-doing their steps and get rid of the 3:

3\sqrt{41}

\sqrt{41(9)}

\sqrt{369}

Hope this helps!

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

0.0545 = 5.45% probability that exactly seven are retired people.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each stock investor, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are retired people, or they are not. Stock investors are independent. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

20% of all stock investors are retired people.

This means that p = 0.2

a. What is the probability that exactly seven are retired people?

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

P(X = 7) = C_{20,7}.(0.2)^{7}.(0.8)^{13} = 0.0545

0.0545 = 5.45% probability that exactly seven are retired people.

Inga can earn $375 per week in a plant store, or she can earn 3% of total sales. How much would Inga have to sell to earn more i
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Inga will have to sell $12,533 to earn more in commission than in salary.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the commission is the percentage of sales amount so, need to calculate the minimum sales value required.

Igna's salary = $375

Commission rate = 3%

Sale to earn more than salary = $376 / 3% = $12,533.33

Igna has to make a minimum sale of $12,533 per week in order to earn more commission than her salary.
