Answer:

34.99°

Step-by-step explanation:

CHECK THE ATTACHMENT FOR THE FIQURE

Let angle( X) = angle if elevation

From trigonometry, tan(X)= opposite/ adjacent

Height of the flagpole= 21 ft , which is the opposite side

The base, adjacent side = 30 ft

If we substitute the values we have

Tan(X) = 21/30

Tan(X)= 0.7

Tan-1(0.7)=34.99°

Hence, the angle of elevation of the sun when this shadow will cast is 34.99°

A piece of paper is in the shape of a rectangle the piece of paper is 1 5/8 inches wide and 8 3/4 inches long a student cuts of
Helga [31]

Answer : The area of the 12 equal long pieces is, \frac{455}{6144}in^2

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

Width of rectangle = 1\frac{5}{8}in=\frac{13}{8}in

Length of rectangle = 8\frac{3}{4}in=\frac{35}{4}in

When student cuts of 3/4 from width and 3/4 from height then the new width and length of rectangle will be:

New width = \frac{13}{8}-(\frac{13}{8}\times \frac{3}{4})=\frac{13}{8}\times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{13}{32}in

New length = \frac{35}{4}-(\frac{35}{4}\times \frac{3}{4})=\frac{35}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{35}{16}in

Now student cuts in 12 equal long pieces.

New length = \frac{\frac{35}{16}in}{12}=\frac{35}{192}in

New width = \frac{13}{32}in

Now we have to calculate the area of the 12 equal long pieces.

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

Area of rectangle = \frac{35}{192}in\times \frac{13}{32}in

Area of rectangle = \frac{455}{6144}in^2

Therefore, the area of the 12 equal long pieces is, \frac{455}{6144}in^2

joshua is planting a triangular garden he sketched his diagram measurements are 12m and 10m the questions asks to find the missi
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

It's 16m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the missing side is C, and since the triangle is right-angle triangle, you can use Pythagoras theorem. Which is

C squared is equal to A squared plus B squared

Like this: c^2 = a^2+b^2

Then

c^2= (10)^2 + (12)^2

c^2= 100 + 144

c^2= 244

c=

\sqrt{244}

c = 15.6

Hope this helps :)

A poll asked 15 men in two age groups, 30 and younger and older than 30, whether they had facial hair (mustache, beard, sideburn
Cloud [144]

Answer:

                                 ------ Facial hair ------

                                Yes         No         Total

Age    

30 and younger       0.267     0.200   0.467

older than 30           0.333     0.200    0.533

Total                         0.600     0.400    1.000

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  Count the number of people for each category:

<u>a) People who were 30 and younger and had facial hair:</u>

  • 1: 30 and younger. Yes
  • 9: 30 and younger. Yes
  • 10: 30 and younger. Yes
  • 12: 30 and younger. Yes

<em>Total: 4 people were 30 and younger and had facial hair</em>

<em />

<u>b) People who were 30 and younger and did not have facial hair</u>:

  • 2: 30 and younger.No
  • 4: 30 and younger. No
  • 14: 30 and younger. No

<em>Total: 3 people were 30 and younger and did not have facial hair</em>

<u />

<u>c) People who were older than 30 and had facial hair</u>:

  • 6: Older than 30. Yes
  • 7: Older than 30.Yes
  • 11: Older than 30. Yes
  • 13: Older than 30. Yes
  • 15: Older than 30. Yes

<em>Total: 5 people were older than 30 and had facial hair</em>.

<u />

<u>d) People who were older than 30 and did not have facial hair:</u>

  • 3: Older than 30. No
  • 5: Older than 30. No
  • 8: Older than 30. No

<em>Total: 3 people were older than 30 and did not have facial hair</em>.

2. Build a two way table with the absolute frequencies:

                               ------ Facial hair ------

                                Yes         No     Total

Age    

30 and younger       4               3          7

older than 30           5               3          8

Total                         9               6         15

3. To build the two-way relative frequency table, divive each absolute frequency by the total number of men (15):

These are the quotients:

  • 4/15 = 0.267
  • 3/15 = 0.200
  • 7/15 = 0.467
  • 5/15 = 0.333
  • 3/15 = 0.200
  • 8/15 = 0.533
  • 9/15 = 0.600
  • 6/15 = 0.400
  • 15/15 = 1.000

Now write the table with the relative frequencies:

                               -------- Facial hair --------

                                Yes         No         Total

Age    

30 and younger       0.267     0.200   0.467

older than 30           0.333     0.200    0.533

Total                         0.600     0.400    1.000

And that is the requested <em>table written to three decimal places</em>.
