Answer:

59°

58.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the full question :

A ladder is placed 30 inches from a wall. It touches the wall at a height of 50 inches from the ground. The angle made by the ladder with the ground is degrees, and the length of the ladder is inches.

Please check the attached image for a diagram explaining this question

The angle the ladder makes with the ground is labelled x in the diagram

To find the value of x given the opposite and adjacent lengths, use tan

tan⁻¹ (opposite / adjacent)

tan⁻¹  (50 / 30)

tan⁻¹ 1.667

= 59°

the length of the ladder can be determined using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c =  hypotenuse

√(50² + 30²)

√(2500 + 900)

√3400

= 58.3 inches

Answer:

59.04°

58.31 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution triangle is attached below :

Since we have a right angled triangle, we can apply trigonometry to obtain the angle ladder makes with the ground;

Let the angle = θ

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Tanθ = 50/30

θ = tan^-1(50/30)

θ = 59.036°

θ = 59.04°

The length of ladder can be obtained using Pythagoras :

Length of ladder is the hypotenus :

Hence,

Hypotenus = √(adjacent² + opposite²)

Hypotenus = √(50² + 30²)

Hypotenus = √(2500 + 900)

Hypotenus = 58.309

Length of ladder = 58.31 inches

Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of mu equals 105 and a standard deviation sigma equa
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:   0.6827

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean IQ score : \mu=105

Standard deviation : \sigma=15

We assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed .

Let x be the random variable that represents the IQ score of adults .

z-score : z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

For x= 90

z=\dfrac{90-105}{15}\approx-1

For x= 120

z=\dfrac{120-105}{15}\approx1

By using the standard normal distribution table , we have

The p-value : P(90

P(z

Hence,  the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 90 and 120 =0.6827

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NemiM [27]

Answer:

- (x - 1) {}^{2}  + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x) is a transformation from h(x).

So our starting equation is

- (x - 1) {}^{2}  - 1

F(x) is also facing the same direction h(x) is so we dont have to reflect nothing across the x or y axis.

There isn't a vertical or horizontal stretch, compressions.

There isn't a horizontal shift as the x values stay in the same place.

There is a vertical shift. We can simply move h(x) up 6 units to get to f(x).

So our equation looks like.

- (x - 1) {}^{2}  + 5
