A UFO is coming in to pick up some test subjects. Their elevation above the ground is 60,000 feet. Their laser sights tell them
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

41.83°

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that :

The vertical distance of the UFO from the ground = 60,000 feet

The diagonal distance of the landing area to the UFO = 90,000 feet

In order to find the angle of depression, we have to use the trigonometric ratios, i.e.,

$\sin \ \theta = \frac{\text{perpendicular distance}}{\text{hypotenus}}$

$\sin \ \theta = \frac{60,000}{90,000}$

$\sin \ \theta = \frac{2}{3}$

$\sin \ \theta = 0.667$

∴ $\theta = \sin^{-1 }(0.667)$

     = 41.83°

Which scenario depicts two independent events?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The girls' basketball team is playing against the boys' basketball team. The coach chooses a captain for the girls' team and then chooses a captain for the boys' team.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events are considered independent of each other when the probability that one event occurs doesn’t in any way affect the probability of the other event occurring.

An example is the probability of flipping a coin and rolling a die.

Choosing a captain for the male and female team won’t in any way affect the outcome of the match.
