Answer:

Height of the lamppost = 5.602 ft + 2.912 ft = 8.514 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration form a triangle that can be demarcated into 2 right angle triangle. One triangle representing depression triangle and the other elevation triangle.

Depression triangle

The opposite side of the triangle formed is the length of the pole from the base to the horizontal line of sight. Therefore,

using tangential ratio

tan 35° = opposite/adjacent

tan 35° = a/8

cross multiply

a = 8 tan 35°

a = 8 × 0.70020753821

a = 5.60166030568

a = 5.602 ft

Elevation triangle

The opposite side of this right angle triangle represent the length from the horizontal line of sight to the top of the lamppost.

tan 20° = opposite/adjacent

tan 20° = b/8

cross multiply

b = 8 tan 20°

b = 8 × 0.36397023426

b = 2.91176187413

b = 2.912 ft

Height of the lamppost = 5.602 ft + 2.912 ft = 8.514 ft

When taking skinfold measurement readings only one attempt per site is necessary for an accurate reading.a. Trueb. False
Eva8 [605]

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation: Skinfold measurements is one of the oldest ways of measuring a person's fat percentage,it's usually taken in specific areas of the body where there are Skinfolds,while taking this measurements it is expected that the person taking it does the average of 2or more repeated measurements in order to ensure that the actual thickness of that area of the body is correctly entered.

It is specifically taken from the right side of the body,where the person pinches out the Skinfolds away from the body by attaching a caliper ,this is to ensure that only the fatty laters are considered, it is mainly presented in percentage.

The population of a culture of cells grows according to the function P(t)= 90t/ t + 1, where t> or =0 is measured in weeks. C
butalik [34]

Answer:

The average rate of change is \frac{18}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function that shows the population of a culture of cells,

P(t)=\frac{90t}{t+1}------(1)

Where, t represents the number of weeks.

Thus, the average rate of change in the population over the interval [0,24],

m=\frac{P(24)-P(0)}{24-0}

From equation (1),

=\frac{\frac{90\times 24}{24+1}-\frac{90\times 0}{0+1}}{24}

=\frac{\frac{2160}{25}-\frac{0+1}{0}}{24}

=\frac{2160}{25\times 24}

=\frac{2160}{600}

=\frac{18}{5}
