Answer: 76.46 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of tower = 75m

Support wire 20 m from top

Angle formed (α) = 46°

Using Pythagoras :

Sinα = opposite / hypotenus

Height used = height of tower - 20 m from top

Height = opposite = (75 - 20)m = 55m

Hypotenus = Length of support wire

Sin 46 = 55m / hypotenus

Hypotenus * sin 46 = 55

0.71934 * hypotenus = 55

Hypotenus = 55/0.71934

Hypotenus = 76.458976

Hence, Lenght of support wire = 76.46 m

Basically you multiply the probabilities

So 92/100 * 92/100 = 0.8464 so around 84-85%

The Schuller family has five members. Dad is 6ft 2in tall. Mom is 3 inches shorter than Dad, but 2 inches taller than Ivan. Marc
ohaa [14]

Answer:

62 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height ( in inches ) of Ivan,

∵ Marcia is 5 inches shorter than Ivan,

height of Marcia = x - 5,

Marcia is  twice as tall as Sally-Jo,

height of sally-jo = \frac{x-5}{2}

Mom is 2 inches taller than Ivan.

⇒ height of mom = x + 2,

Mom is 3 inches shorter than Dad,

height of dad = x + 2 + 3 = x + 5,

So, mean height of family is,

\frac{x+x-5+\frac{x-5}{2}+x+2+x+5}{5}

=\frac{2x+2x-10+x-5+2x+4+2x+10}{10}

=\frac{9x-1}{10}

According to the question,

x + 5 = 74 ( 1 ft = 12 in )

x = 69

Hence, mean height of the family = \frac{9\times 69-1}{10}

=\frac{620}{10}

= 62 inches

The y-intercept of a parabola is 1, and its vertex is at (1,0). What function does the graph represent?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (1, 0) , thus

y = a(x - 1)² + 0

To find a substitute the coordinates of the y- intercept (0, 1) into the equation

1 = a(- 1)² = a , thus

a = 1

y = (x - 1)² → A
