Answer:

\huge \boxed{ \boxed{ 50 \sqrt{3} \:  or \: 86.6}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about:</h3>
  • trigonometry
  • PEMDAS
<h3>let's solve:</h3>

to find the height we need to use tan function because we are given adjacent and angle and we need to figure out opposite (height) \tan(\theta)=\dfrac{opposite}{adjacent}

let opposite be AC

let adjacent be BC

according to the question:

\quad \:  \tan( {60}^{ \circ} )  =  \dfrac{AC}{BC}

now we need a little bit algebra to figure out AC (height)

  1. \sf \: substitute \: the \:  given\: value \: of \: BC :  \\ \tan( {60}^{ \circ} )  =  \frac{AC}{50}
  2. \sf sustitute \: the \: value \: of \:  \tan(  {60}^{ \circ} ) \:   i.e \:   \sqrt{3}  :  \\  \sqrt{3   }  =  \frac{AC }{50}
  3. \sf cross \: multiplication:  \\ 50 \sqrt{3}  = AC
  4. \sf swap \: sides \: (your \: wil) :  \\ AC = 50 \sqrt{3}  \\AC = 86.6 \: ( \sf  \: decimal \: if\: needed)

Answer:

86.6

Step-by-step explanation:



Here, AB represents height of the building, BC represents distance of the building from the point of observation.

In the right triangle ABC, the side which is opposite to the angle 60 degree is known as opposite side (AB), the side which is opposite to 90 degree is called hypotenuse side (AC) and the remaining side is called adjacent side (BC).

Now we need to find the length of the side AB.

tanθ  =  Opposite side/Adjacent side

tan 60°  =  AB/BC

√3  =  AB/50

√3 x 50  =  AB

AB  =  50√3

Approximate value of √3 is 1.732

AB  =  50 (1.732)

     AB  =  86.6 m

So, the height of the building is 86.6 m

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

\\4x^2-2x=30\\\\x=3\\4(3)^2-2(3)=30\\4(9) - 6 =30\\36 - 6 = 30\\30 = 30 \\\\x=4\\4(4)^2-2(4)=30\\4(16) - 8 =30\\64 - 8 = 30\\56\neq 30

56  is not equal to 30

Olivia flips a two-sided counter and then spins a spinner with six equal-size sections labeled 1 through 6. One side of the coun
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

A 2 - sided counter ; (red, yellow)

A spinner (1,2,3,4,5,6)

Number of trials = 80

P(red and number > 3) :

P(red) = 1/2 ;

P(number >3) : numbers greater Than 3 = (4, 5, 6)

Hence, P(number <3) = 3 /6 = 1/2

Theoretical probability = 1/2 *1/2 = 1/4

Expected number of outcomes :

1/4 * number of trials

1/4 * 80 = 20

Experimental outcome :

Relative frequency = number of outcomes / number of trials

Relative frequency = 2/5

Hence,

2/5 = number of outcomes / 80

Cross multiply :

160 = number of outcomes * 5

Number of outcomes = 160 /5 = 32

Actual outcomes = 32

Difference between actual and expected :

32 - 20 = 12
