Answer:

The probability of an eighth grader winning is 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no. of students = 42

Number of students in 7th grade = 21

Number of students in 8th grade = 14

Number of students in 9th grade = 7

Probability of event = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

So,the probability of an eighth grader winning= \frac{14}{42}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}

Hence The probability of an eighth grader winning is 1/3

Can some one explain how to do this?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent and sine ratios in the right triangle EFG

tan60° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{FG}{EG} = \frac{28}{EG} ( multiply both sides by EG )

EG × tan60° = 28 ( divide both sides by tan60° )

EG = \frac{28}{tan60} ≈ 16.2 in ( to the nearest tenth )

--------------------------------------------------------------

sin60° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{FG}{EF} = \frac{28}{EF} ( multiply both sides by EF )

EF × sin60° = 28 ( divide both sides by sin60° )

EF = \frac{28}{sin60} ≈ 32.3 in ( to the nearest tenth )

the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the top of the tree is 36 degrees. find the distance from the top of the tr
Bas_tet [7]
In order to fully understand the problem, it is best to sketch it. Sketching the system, we will see that the system forms a triangle where the angle of elevation is 36 degrees. We are asked to find the hypotenuse. We can use a trigonometric function. It should be noted that one of the sides should also be given in order to calculate the hypotenuse. Trigonometric functions that can be used are:

sin(theta) = opposite / hypotenuse
cos(theta) = adjacent / hypotenuse
