Answer:

C. 185 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The work is in the attached picture file, if you need it. Basically the question sets up a right triangle, for which the base is 200 and the height is the goal that you are solving for. It is given that the angle between hypotenuse and base is 42 degrees. For this you use tangent to say that

         tan(42) = h / 200

         200 tan (42) = h

         h = 180 feet.

But then you must remember that this triangle starts 5 feet off of the ground. So you add the 5 feet and get 185 feet as the height of the tower.

Otrada [13]

Answer:

2) 92.2km

3) B

4) 4.8m

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: a² + b² = c²

2)

60² + 70² = c²

3600 + 4900 = c²

8500 = c²

√8500 = c

92.2 = c

3)

12² + 4² = c²

144 + 16 = c²

160 = c²

√160 = c

12.6 = c

4)

4.5² + 1.6² = c²

20.25 + 2.56 = c²

22.81 = c²

√22.81 = c

4.8 = c

Use the probability distribution table to answer the question.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

0.88

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x≥2) = P(x=2) + P(x=3) + P(x=4) + P(x=5) + P(x=6)

P(x≥2) = 0.21 + 0.35 + 0.21 + 0.06 + 0.05

P(x≥2) = 0.88

Or, you can calculate it as:

P(x≥2) = 1 - P(x=1) - P(x=0)

P(x≥2) = 1 - 0.09 - 0.03

P(x≥2) = 0.88
