Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu. A vertical pole is supported by two ropes staked to the ground on opposite si

des of the pole. One rope is 8 meters long, and the other is 7 meters. The distance between the stakes is 6 meters, and the height of the pole is meters.

Answer:

6.78 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the set up forms a triangle with length of ropes two sides of the triangle a = 8 m and b = 7 m respectively, the distance between them which is c = 6 m forms the third side of the triangle.

To find the height of the pole, we need to find the angle between any of the ropes and the ground. So, choosing the 8 m long rope side and using the cosine rule,

b² = a² + c² - 2accosФ where Ф is the angle opposite the 7 m long side which is also the angle between the 8 m long side and the ground.

So, making, Ф subject of the formula, we have

b² - (a² + c²) = 2accosФ

cosФ = [b² - (a² + c²)]/2ac

Ф = cos⁻¹{[b² - (a² + c²)]/2ac}

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

Ф = cos⁻¹{[b² - (a² + c²)]/2ac}

Ф = cos⁻¹{[7² - (8² + 6²)]/2(8)(6)}

Ф = cos⁻¹{[49 - (64 + 36)]/96}

Ф = cos⁻¹{[49 - 100]/96}

Ф = cos⁻¹{-51/96}

Ф = cos⁻¹{-0.53125}

Ф = 122.09°

Since the height of the pole, h is a perpendicular bisector to the base of the triangle, and the 8 m long side form a triangle with it and the ground and the 8 m long side being the hypotenuse side of this triangle, we have that

sinФ = h/a where a = 8 m and Ф = 122.09° = the angle between the 8 m long side and the ground.

h = asinФ

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

h = asinФ

h = (8 m)sin122.09°

h = 8 m × 0.8472

h = 6.78 m

Answer:

112 calories per cup

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = unit rate for calories per cup,

Then (3/4)*x = 84

and x = 84*(4/3) = 112 calories per cup

Polygon ABCD is plotted on a coordinate plane and then rotated 90° clockwise about point C to form polygon A′B′C′D′. Match each
horrorfan [7]

The vertices of ABCD after 90 degrees clockwise rotation about point C are: A' (0,6), B' (3,7), C' (4,6) and D' (4,3)

<h3>How to match the vertices of the polygon?</h3>

The image of the polygon ABCD is not given; however, the question can still be answered because the coordinates are known.

The vertices of polygon ABCD are given as:

A = (4, 6)

B = (5, 3)

C = (4, 2)

D = (1, 2)

The rule of rotation about point C is:

(x,y) = (a + b - y, x + b - a)

Where:

(a, b) = (4, 2) --- the point of rotation.

So, we have:

(x,y) = (4 + 2 - y, x + 4 - 2)

(x,y) = (6 - y, x + 2)

The above means that:

A' = (6 - 6, 4 + 2) = (0,6)

B' = (6 - 3, 5 + 2) = (3,7)

C' = (6 - 2, 4 + 2) = (4,6)

D' = (6 - 2, 1 + 2) = (4,3)

Hence, the image of the rotation and their vertices (i.e. coordinates) are:

A' = (0,6)

B' =  (3,7)

C' = (4,6)

D' =  (4,3)

Sample space = {p, r, o, b, a, b, i, l, I, t, y} = 11 possible outcomes
1sr event: drawing an I ( there are 2 I); P(1st I) = 2/11
2nd event drawing also an i: This is a conditional probability, since one I has already been selected the remaining number of I is now 1, but also the sample space from previously 11 outcome has now 10 outcomes (one letter selected and not replaced)
2nd event : P(also one I) = 1/10
P(selecting one I AND another I) is 2/11 x 1/10

P(selecting one I AND another I) =2/110 = 0.018
