U have to use Pythagoras theorem to solve this.. (adjacent)^2+(opposite)^2=hypotenuse^2
looking at the question,
the hypotenuse =15ft
opposite =12ft
adjacent =???
adjacent^2+(12)^2=15^2
a^2+144=225
group like terms
a^2=225-144
a^2=81
introduce square root to both side
​root a^2=root81
a=9ft
therefore, the answer is 9ft.

Suppose that a box contains 7 cameras and that 5 of them are defective. A sample of 2 cameras is selected at random without repl
irinina [24]

Answer:

E(x) = 1.43 (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of camera = 7

Defective camera = 5

Sample selected = 2

Computation:

when x = 0

P(x=0) = 2/7 × 1/6 = 2/42

P(x=1) = [2/7 × 5/6] + [5/7 × 2/6] = 20/42

P(x=2) = 5/7 × 4/6 = 20/42

So,

E(x) = [0×2/42] + [1×20/42] + [2×20/42]

E(x) = 1.43 (Approx)

Help me solve this please
drek231 [11]

Answer:

x is 46.67

y is 28.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x we use sine

sin ∅ = opposite / hypotenuse

AC is the opposite

x is the hypotenuse

so we have

sin 59° = 40 / x

x sin 59 = 40

Divide both sides by sin 59

x = 40/sin 59

x = 46.67

To solve for y we also use sine

sin y = 30/ 63

y = sin^-1(30/63)

y = 28.4°

Hope this helps you
