Answer:

250.34 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Find attached to this answer and appropriate diagram.

From this question, we can see that this is a trigonometric function

The height of the radio tower = 225 feet = Opposite side

θ = Angle 64°

In the question we are told to find the length of the wire needed to reach from the top of the tower to the ground.

From the attached diagram, we can see that that is equivalent to finding the hypotenuse.

Hence, we are using the Trigonometric function of Sine.

sin θ = Opposite side/ Hypotenuse side

sin 64 = 225 feet/ Hypotenuse

Cross multiply

sin 64 × Hypotenuse = 225 feet

Divide both sides by sin 64

Hypotenuse = 225 feet / sin 64

Hypotenuse = 250.33543661 feet

Approximately = 250.34 feet

Therefore, the length of the wire needed to reach from the top of the tower to the ground is 513.3 feet.

In XYZ, mX=90 and mY=30.In TUV,mU= 30 and mV=60. Which is true about the two triangles? XYZ=TUV, XYZ= VUT,No congruency statemen
Flauer [41]

Answer:

No congruency statement can be made because the side length are unknown.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of all interior angles in a triangle is always 180°.

In triangle XYZ,

m\angle X=90^{\circ}\\ \\m\angle Y=30^{\circ},

then

m\angle X+m\angle Y+m\angle Z=180^{\circ}\Rightarrow m\angle Z=180^{\circ}-90^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=60^{\circ}

In triangle TUV,

m\angle U=30^{\circ}\\\\m\angle V=60^{\circ},

then

m\angle T+m\angle U+m\angle V=180^{\circ}\Rightarrow m\angle T=180^{\circ}-30^{\circ}-60^{\circ}=90^{\circ}

We have two triangles with congruent angles but we have no information about side lengths. Therefore, can not be made because the side length are unknown. Correct option is last option.

Single Factor ANOVA is a method we use when we want to compare a quantitative variable among more than two categories.
Goryan [66]

Answer:

The given statement is "True".

Step-by-step explanation:

A statistical analytical technique that divides the perceived aggregate unpredictability present throughout an information source even further into 2 components.

  • Systemic components
  • Random components

If relevant information yet another category independent variable, as well as another quantifiable variable of interest, has been obtained, are using a single-way ANOVA.

Thus the above is the true answer.
