Answer:

4.09 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shadow cast by a person be x m.

$\tan \: 24 \degree = \frac{height \: of \: person}{length \: of \: the \: shadow} \\ \\ 0.4452286853 = \frac{1.82}{x} \\ \\ x = \frac{1.82}{0.4452286853} \\ \\ x = 4.08778693 \: m \\ x = 4.09 \: m$

A board game has 25 cards, each printed with a number from 1 through 25. Sameer shuffled the cards, and then selected 1 card.

Yuki888 [10]

Total number of cards = 25 .
Total number of possible draws = 25
Number of possible successes = 5

(The successful draws are 1, 2, 3, 9, and 18.)

Probability of success = 5/25 = <em>1/5 </em> = 0.2 = 20%

Point C has the coordinates (–1, 4) and point D has the coordinates (2, 0). What is the distance between points C and D?

QveST [7]

$\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
C&({{ -1}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})\quad 
% (c,d)
D&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})
\end{array}\qquad 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
CD=\sqrt{[2-(-1)]^2+(0-4)^2}\implies CD=\sqrt{(2+1)^2+(-4)^2}
\\\\\\
CD=\sqrt{9+16}\implies CD=\sqrt{25}\implies CD=5$
