The height of broken part of tree from ground is 5.569m.

Justification:

Let BD is a tree of height 12 m.

<u>Suppose it got bent at a point C and let the part CD take the position CA, meeting the ground at A</u>.

i.e., CD = AC = h m

<u>Broken part makes 60° angle from ground</u>

So, ∠BAC = 60°

<u>Now, height of remaining part of tree</u> = (12 – h)m.

In right angled ∆ABC,

sin 60° = BC/AC

⇒ √3/2 = (12 - h)/h

⇒ √3h = 2(12 – h)

⇒ √3h = 24 – 2h

⇒ √3h + 2h = 24

⇒ h(√3 + 2) = 24

⇒ h(1.732 + 2) = 24

⇒ h(3.732) = 24

⇒ h = 24/3.732 = 6.4308 m

<u>Hence, height of broken tree from ground</u>

⇒ BC = 12 – h

⇒ 12 – 6.4308 = 5.569m

<u>Hence, tree is broken 5.569 m from ground</u>.

<u>Note</u>: See attached picture.

A researcher is going to estimate the average typing speed of students of a college. He selects a random sample of 20 students a
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The margin of error of the 90% confidence interval of a student's average typing speed is of 1.933 wpm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 20 - 1 = 19

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 19 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 1.7291

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample. For this question, we have s = 5, n = 20. So

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

M = 1.7291\frac{5}{\sqrt{20}}

M = 1.933

The margin of error of the 90% confidence interval of a student's average typing speed is of 1.933 wpm.

Angle x and y are complementary. Angle x is supplementary to a 128º angle.
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

x = 52

y = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle x is supplementary to a 128º angle.

Supplementary angles add to 180

x+128 = 180

Subtract 128 from each side

x+128-128 = 180-128

x =52

Angle x and y are complementary.  

Complementary angles add to 90

x+y =90

52+y =90

Subtract 52 from each side

52-52 +y = 90-52

y = 38
