Answer:

48.19°

Step-by-step explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram.

The set up is a right angled triangle

Using the SOH, CAH, TOA trigonometry ratio to get the angle of depression theta.

The length of the ladder will be the hypotenuse of the triangle.

If he places the ladder 10 feet from the base of the tree, the adjacent of the triangle will be the base of the triangle.

Given Hypotenuse = 15feet

Adjacently = 10feet

According to CAH;

cos(theta) = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

cos(theta) = 10/15

cos(theta) = 2/3

theta = arccos(2/3)

theta = 48.19°

Shawn cat is looking at him at an angle of depression of 48.19°

Questions (no partial grades if you don't show your work) 1. In a group of 6 boys and 4 girls, four children are to be selected.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Total number of ways will be 209

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 boys and 4 girls in a group and 4 children are to be selected.

We have to find the number of ways that 4 children can be selected if at least one boy must be in the group of 4.

So the groups can be arranged as

(1 Boy + 3 girls), (2 Boy + 2 girls), (3 Boys + 1 girl), (4 boys)

Now we will find the combinations in which these arrangements can be done.

1 Boy and 3 girls = ^{6}C_{1}\times^{4}C_{3}=6\times4=24

2 Boy and 2 girls=^{6}C_{2}\times^{4}C_{2}=\frac{6!}{4!\times2!}\times\frac{4!}{2!\times2!}=15\times6=90

3 Boys and 1 girl = ^{6}C_{3}\times^{4}C_{1}=\frac{6!}{4!\times2!}\times\frac{4!}{3!}=\frac{6\times5\times4}{3 \times2} \times4=80

4 Boys = ^{6}C_{4}=\frac{6!}{4!\times2!} =\frac{6\times 5}{2\times1}=15

Now total number of ways = 24 + 90 + 80 + 15 = 209

In a video game, players form teams and work together to earn as many points as possible for their team. Each team can have betw
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

1. 2 ≤ n ≤ 4

2. 4 * 20

3. T < 80

4. (2 * 4) + (4 * 3)

5. 16 ≤ P ≤ 32

Note: The quantities described are as follows:

1) the allowable number of players on a team  

2) the number of points,  , Han's team earns in one round if every player earns a perfect score  

3) the number of points,  , Han's team earns in one round if no players earn a perfect score  

4) the number of players,  , in a game with six teams of different sizes: two teams have 4 players each and the rest have 3 players each

5) the possible number of players in a game with eight teams

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let the number of players be n

Since each team can have between 2 and 4 players

n ≥ 2 or 2 ≤ n, and n ≤ 2

Therefore, the allowable number of players on a team   is given by 2 ≤ n ≤ 4

2) There are four players in Han's team and a perfect score is 20

Therefore, the number of points Han's team earns in one round if every player earns a perfect score   is given by 4 * 20

3) There are four players in Han's team

Total score if each player in Han's team earns a perfect score is 4 * 20 = 80

Let the total score of Han's team be T

Therefore, the number of points, Han's team earns in one round if no players earn a perfect score   is given by T < 80

4) If two team have 4 players, it is given by 2 * 4

If the rest four teams have 3 players each, it is given by 4 * 3

Therefore, the number of players in a game with six teams of different sizes: two teams have 4 players each and the rest have 3 players each  is given by (2 * 4) + (4 * 3)

5) Let the possible number of players in a game with be P

Maximum number of players in eight teams = 4 * 8 = 32

Minimum number of players in eight teams = 2 * 8 = 16

P ≤ 32 and P ≥ 16 or 16 ≤P

Therefore, the possible number of players in a game with eight teams  is given by 16 ≤ P ≤ 32
