Answer:

149.30ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the vertical distance between the two tower = 40ft

The angle of elevation from the lower tower to te higher tower = 15°

The horizontal distance between the two towers = x

Assuming the angle of elevation and the distance between the two towers makes a right angle triangle, we can use SOHCAHTOA and determine which one would be suitable to find x.

Check attached document for better illustration of the triangle.

Tanθ = opposite / adjacent

Opposite = 40

θ = 15°

Adjacent = x

Tan15 = 40 / x

0.2679 = 40 / x

X = 40 / 0.2679

X = 149.30ft

The horizontal distance between the two towers is 149.30ft

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

4. H0: u1= u2    Ha; u1≠ u2

5. The smaller value of p supports the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

4. The null and alternate hypotheses are

H0: u1= u2   i.e there no difference between the mean pinch strengthof the two surgeries

against the claim

Ha; u1≠ u2   i.e there a difference between the mean pinch strengthof the two surgeries

It can be written like this as well

H0: u1 -u2= 0   i.e there no difference between the mean pinch strengthof the two surgeries

against the claim

Ha; u1 -u2≠ 0   i.e there a difference between the mean pinch strengthof the two surgeries

Part 5. The test having a p- value less than 0.05  tells that the null hypothesis cannot be rejected. Theres no evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

The smaller value of p supports the null hypothesis.

To get this answer you have to follow pemdas and remember you can’t add variables to non variables, so you just expand the equation
As an example
5x + 6 -2x +7

You would get
