<u>We are given:</u>

a right angled triangle with the angle of elevation = 20 degrees

Hypotenuse of the Triangle = 500 m

<u>Finding the change in Elevation:</u>

We will use trigonometry in the given triangle to find the length of the perpendicular of the triangle

Using trigonometry, we found that the perpendicular = 500 * Sin 20 degrees

Perpendicular = 500 * 0.342           <em>[sin(20 degrees) = 0.342]</em>

Perpendicular = 171 m

The closest value to 171m in the given options is 170m

Therefore, 170m <em>(option B)</em> is correct

Using two normal dice, what is the probability of rolling numbers that add up to 3?
Blizzard [7]
That would be rolling a 1 and a 2 .

so possibilities are 1 on first die and 2 on the second die

OR 2 on first die and 1 on the second.

Both of these have a probability of 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36

so required probability = 1/36 + 1/36 = 2/36 = 1/18

Solve each compound inequality and graph the solutions​
Gnom [1K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x ≤ -20  or  5 ≤ x

  see attached for a graph

Step-by-step explanation:

You have done most of the work of solving the inequalities. The steps are ...

  • add the opposite of the constant on the side with the variable
  • multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of the variable.

  x/5 -x ≤ -6

  x/5 ≤ -4 . . . . . add 2

  x ≤ -20 . . . . . multiply by 5

__

  8x +1 ≥ 41

  8x ≥ 40 . . . . . add -1

  x ≥ 5 . . . . . . . multiply by 1/8

So, the two inequalities you want to graph are ...

  x ≤ -20 or 5 ≤ x

The values x = -20 and x = 5 are part of the solution set, so there would be solid dots at those points. The shading of the number line will extend outward from those points.

Students are painting a mural. So far, the mural is painted 1/4 blue, 2/8 red, and 3/12 green. Use fraction strips to determine
inn [45]
The mural is painted as follow :

blue = 1/4
red   = 2/8 = 1/4
green = 3 /12 = 1/4

so, Total = 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 3/4
which mean the quantity of mural that has been painted = 3/4 = 0.75 = 75%

The attached figure represents an explanation of the problem using fraction strips.

The formula p=8n-30 gives the profit p when a number of items n are each sold at $8 and expenses totaling $30 are subtracted
Vlad [161]
The profit here has decreased by $10. We can work this out through the following equation -
170= 8n-30= 200= 8nn=25B: P= 8(25) - 40= 200 - 40P= 160
