Answer:

<em>The helicopter is 27.38 m far off the ground</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The drawing shown in the image below has all the measures and variables needed to solve the problem.

We need to find R, the height of the helicopter. We'll use the law of sines to find the length of side a.

\displaystyle \frac{28}{\sin X}=\frac{a}{\sin 54^\circ}

The angle X is the measure needed to complete 180°:

X = 180° - 54° - 62° = 64°

Solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{28}{\sin 64^\circ}\cdot \sin 54^\circ

Calculating:

a = 31.11 m

Now using the sine ratio in the right triangle to the left side:

\displaystyle \sin 62^\circ=\frac{R}{a}

Solving for R:

R=a\sin 62^\circ

R=31.11*0.88

R = 27.38 m

The helicopter is 27.38 m far off the ground

Answer:

0.0078125

Step-by-step explanation:

If the probability of flipping a fair coin (mentally) correctly for 1 row is 0.5, then the probability of flipping it correctly for 2 rows is

0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25

for 3 rows: 0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.125

...

For 7 rows:

0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.5^7 = 0.0078125
