Answer:
The bird is 2.44km high
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
To solve this question, we need to understand how they are and we can only get this with a correct pictorial diagram.
See attached document for better understanding.
From the first diagram, we understand that the bird is between them and also on top of them.
Assuming Susan, Mark and the bird all form a triangle at each other and the bird at the top, we can divide the the triangle into two equal parts.
But before then, we should know that sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180°
Therefore,
20° + 50° + b° = 180
70° + b = 180
b = 180° - 70°
b = 110°
Dividing angle b into two equal parts = 55° on each side.
See the last attached document for better illustration.
Using SOHCAHTOA, we can find the adjacent of the triangle which corresponds to the height of the bird.
We have opposite = 3.4km and we're looking for adjacent. We can use tangent of the angle to find the adjacent.
Tanθ = opposite / adjacent
Tan 55° = 3.5 / adj
Adjacent = 3.5 / tan55
Adjacent = 3.5 / 1.43
Adjacent = 2.44km
The height of the bird is 2.44km
This is an example of conditional probability because we are trying to find the probability of an event occurring GIVEN the occurrence of some other event. There is a formula for this (see image attached).
If we follow this formula, the numerator would be the probability of (A AND B) which in this case is "48% of the class passed BOTH exams." The denominator in the formula would be that "60% of the class passed ONLY THE SECOND exam."
Therefore, P(A and B) = 0.48, which is 48% expressed as a decimal and P(B)= 0.60, which is 60% expressed as a decimal. Then, you can figure out the answer by dividing.
