Answer:

68.17m

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see attached a rough sketch of the scenario

Step one:

Given data

Height of victim= 4.5ft

The horizontal distance of the snipper from the building = 780ft

The angle of elevation= 5 degrees

Required

The vertical distance

The opposite= the vertical distance

789 ft = the adjacent

Step two:

Applying SOH CAH TOA

tan ∅= opp/adj

tan 5= opp/780

cross multiply we have

0.0874= opp/780

cross multiply we have

0.0874*780= opp

opp= 68.17m

The sniper shoots from a vertical distance of  68.17m

A group of 120 people touring Europe includes 45 people who speak French, 42 who speak Spanish, and 50 who speak neither languag
lianna [129]

Answer : P(\text{this group will speak both French and Spanish})=0.141666666

Explanation:

Since we have given that

n(U) = 120, where U denotes universal set ,

n(F) = 45, where F denotes who speak French,

n(S) = 42 , where S denotes who speak Spanish,

n(F∪S)' = 50

n(F∪S) = n(U)-n(F∪S) = 120-50 = 70

Now, we know the formula, i.e.

n(F∪s) = n(F)+n(S)-n(F∩S)

⇒  70    = 45+42-n(F∩S)

⇒ 70  =  87- n(F∩S)

⇒ 70-87 = -n(F∩S)

⇒ -17 = -n( F∩S)

⇒  17 = n(F∩S)

P(\text{this group will speak both French and Spanish})= \frac{17}{120}\\P(\text{this group will speak both French and Spanish})=0.141666666
