Consult the attached diagram.

In the larger triangle,

tan(16°) = (7250 ft) / (<em>x</em> + <em>y</em>)

and in the smaller triangle,

tan(26°) = (7250 ft) / <em>y</em>

You want to solve for <em>x</em>.

From the first equation (I'm ignoring units from here on, all distances are measured in ft), you have

(<em>x</em> + <em>y</em>) tan(16°) = 7250

<em>x</em> tan(16°) + <em>y</em> tan(16°) = 7250

<em>x</em> tan(16°) = 7250 - <em>y</em> tan(16°)

<em>x</em> = 7250 cot(16°) - <em>y</em>

<em />

From the second equation,

<em>y</em> = 7250 cot(26°)

Solving for <em>x</em> gives

<em>x</em> = 7250 cot(16°) - 7250 cot(26°)

<em>x</em> = 7250 (cot(16°) - cot(26°))

<em>x</em> ≈ 10,433 ft

ella [17]

Answer:

0.216

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a certain new type of business succeeds 60% of the time.

3 such businesses   are tested for success.

Since these three businesses open (where they do not compete with each other, so it is reasonable to believe that their relative successes would be independent). we can say X no of successful businesses is Binomial

with p = 0.6 and n =3

Required probability

=The probability that all 3 businesses succeed is:

= P(X=3)\\= 0.6^3\\= 0.216

June has $1.95 in dimes and nickels. She has a total of 28 coins. how many of each type of coin does she have?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

11 dimes, 17 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

d + n = 28, put one variable by itself on a side, d = 28 - n

.10d + .05n = 1.95

Sub the first equation into the second

.10(28 - n) + .05n = 1.95

2.8 - .10n + .05n = 1.95

2.8 - .05n = 1.95

-.05n = -0.85

n = 17 nickels

d + 17 = 28

d = 11  11 dimes
