SOH CAH TOA tells you the sine function of an angle gives the ratio of opposite side to the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
In this problem, the angle is 15°, the hypotenuse is 3000 m and we want to find the length of the opposite side (the height above the ground).
sin(30°) = height/(3000 m)
Multiplying by 3000 m, we get
height = (3000 m)*sin(30°) = 1500 m
The height of the plane at that instant is ...
1500 m
The probability of event A and B to both occur is denoted as P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A). It is the probability that Event A occurs times the probability that Event B occurs, given that Event A has occurred.
So, to find the probability that you will be assigned a poem by Shakespeare and by Tennyson, let Event A = the event that a Shakespeare poem will be assigned to you; and let Event B = the event that the second poem that will be assigned to you will be by Tennyson.
At first, there are a total of 13 poems that would be randomly assigned in your class. There are 4 poems by Shakespeare, thus P(A) is 4/13.
After the first selection, there would be 13 poems left. Therefore, P(B|A) = 2/12
Based on the rule of multiplication,
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A)P(A ∩ B) = 4/13 * 2/12
P(A ∩ B) = 8/156
P(A ∩ B) = 2/39
The probability that you will be assigned a poem by Shakespeare, then a poem by Tennyson is 2/39 or 5.13%.
