Answer:

The distance between B and lighthouse is 3.8688 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The angle made from ship to lighthouse is 36.5 degrees

and that of point B is 73 degrees.

To Find:

Distance  Between Point B and Lighthouse

Solution:

<em>Consider a triangle LAB(Refer the attachment )</em>

And Point C is on the line AB as A i.e. ship is sailing to B

So C is at 5 km from A.

Now In triangle LAC,

Using Trigonometry Functions as ,

tan(36.5)=LC/AC

LC=tan(36.5)*AC

=0.7399*5

=3.6998 km

Now In triangle LBC,

As,

Sin(73)=LC/LB

LB=LC/(Sin(73))

=3.6998/0.9563

=3.8688 km

LB=3.8688 km

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

(a) 0.0001 or 0.01%

(b) 0.01 or 1%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 10 possible numeric digits (from 0 to 9), and there is only one correct digit, there is a 1 in 10 change of getting each digit right.

The probability that if you forget your PIN, then you can guess the correct sequence

(a) at random:

P=(\frac{1}{10})^4=0.0001=0.01\%

(b) when you recall the first two digits.

P=(\frac{1}{10})^2=0.01=1\%
