The top of the Boulder Dam has an angle of elevation of 1.2 radians from a point on the Colorado River. Measuring the angle of e

levation to the top of the dam from a point 155 feet farther down river is 0.9 radi- ans; assume the two angle measurements are taken at the same elevation above sea level. How high is the dam?

Answer:

382.925 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution diagram is attached below :

Converting radian measurement to degree :

radian angle * 180/π = degree angle

1.2 * 180/π = 68.755°

0.9 * 180/π = 51.566°

Height of dam is h:

Using trigonometry :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan 68.755° = h / x

h = x Tan 68.755° - - - (1)

Tan 51.566° = h / (155+x)

h = (155+x) tan 51.566° - - - (2)

Equate (1) and (2)

x Tan 68.755 = (155+x) Tan 51.566

x Tan 68.755 = 155tan 51.566 + x tan 51.566

x Tan 68.755 = 195.32311 + x Tan 51.566

x Tan 68.755 - x Tan 51.566 = 195.32311

x(tan 68.755 - tan 51.566) = 195.32311

x * 1.3120110 = 195.32311

1.3120110x = 195.32311

x = 195.32311 / 1.3120110

x = 148.87307

Using :

h = x Tan 68.755

h = 148.87307 * tan(68.755)

h = 382.92539

h = 382.925 feets

There are 10 pens in a box. There are x red pens in the box. All the other pens are blue. Jack takes at random two pens from the
expeople1 [14]

The probability that one of each color is selected is \frac{10x - x^2}{45}

<h3>Probabilities</h3>

The probability of an event is the chances of the said event

The given parameters are:

  • Total  = 10
  • Red = x
  • Blue = 10 - x

<h3>Calculating the required probability</h3>

The probability that one of each color is selected is calculated as follows:

P = P(Blue) \times P(Red) + P(Red) \times P(Blue)

So, we have:

P = \frac{10 - x}{10} \times \frac{x}{9} + \frac{x}{10} \times \frac{10 - x}{9}

This gives

P = \frac{x(10 - x)}{90} +\frac{x(10 - x)}{90}

Take LCM

P = \frac{2x(10 - x)}{90}

Simplify the above expression

P = \frac{x(10 - x)}{45}

Expand

P = \frac{10x - x^2}{45}

Hence, the probability that one of each color is selected is P = \frac{10x - x^2}{45}

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug things in then use PEMDAS:

m * (7+9) * n

= 0.5 * (7+9) * 2

= 0.5 * 16 * 2

= 16
