A 35-foot tall pole is leading towards a building. To stop the pole from leaning further, a 48-foot long cable is secured from t

he top of the pole to a stake in the ground opposite of the building. If the stake is 30 feet from the pole, what angle does the cable make with the pole?

Answer:

  38.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle solver can give an answer easily. The angle is 38.5°.

__

The law of cosines can be written to solve for an unknown angle C opposite side 'c' and flanked by sides 'a' and 'b'.

  C = arccos((a² +b² -c²)/(2ab))

Here, we have a=35, b=48, c=30, so the angle is ...

  C = arccos((35² +48² -30²)/(2·35·48)) = arccos(2629/3360) ≈ 38.515°

The angle the cable makes with the pole is about 38.5°.

Answer:

a) y=0.00991 x +1.042  

b) r^2 = 0.7503^2 = 0.563

c) r=\frac{7(30095)-(4210)(49)}{\sqrt{[7(2595100) -(4210)^2][7(354) -(49)^2]}}=0.7503  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

x: 500, 700, 750, 590 , 540, 650, 480

y: 7.00, 7.50 , 9.00, 6.5, 7.50 , 7.0, 4.50

Part a

We want to create a linear model like this :

y = mx +b

Wehre

m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}  

And:  

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}  

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}  

With these we can find the sums:  

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=2595100-\frac{4210^2}{7}=63085.714  

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=30095-\frac{4210*49}{7}=625  

And the slope would be:  

m=\frac{625}{63085.714}=0.00991  

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:  

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{4210}{7}=601.429  

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{49}{7}=7  

And we can find the intercept using this:  

b=\bar y -m \bar x=7-(0.00991*601.429)=1.042  

And the line would be:

y=0.00991 x +1.042  

Part b

The correlation coefficient is given by:

r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}  

For our case we have this:

n=7 \sum x = 4210, \sum y = 49, \sum xy = 30095, \sum x^2 =2595100, \sum y^2 =354  

r=\frac{7(30095)-(4210)(49)}{\sqrt{[7(2595100) -(4210)^2][7(354) -(49)^2]}}=0.7503  

The determination coefficient is given by:

r^2 = 0.7503^2 = 0.563

Part c

r=\frac{7(30095)-(4210)(49)}{\sqrt{[7(2595100) -(4210)^2][7(354) -(49)^2]}}=0.7503

Answer:

B. x < -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's put them in order from greatest to least:

  • \{-2,-5,-9,-12\}

Given our possible inequalities, we need to find the inequality that contains all of these values.

The inequality that works is x < -1, as <u>all values are less than -1.</u>

Therefore, the answer is B. x < -1.

Please help I will give brainliest
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

30 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is A=a+b/2 x h

In this case, a=5, b=10, and h=4

When you input those values into the formula and solve for A, you get A=30

Please mark as brainliest ;)
