Answer:

48.49 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagrammatic sketch of the information provided in the question was attached in the image below.

From the image below, the distance between the two kites is denoted by (c) and can be determined by using the cosine angle rule which is expressed as:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2ab cos \ C

where;

a = 110

b = 104

Cos C = 26°

Then;

c^2 = 110^2 + 104^2 -2(110)(104) cos \ 26 \\ \\  c^2 = 12100 + 10816- 22880 ( 0.8988) \\ \\  c^2 = 22916- 20564.544 \\ \\  c^2 = 2351.456 \\ \\  c= \sqrt{2351.456} \\ \\ \mathbf{ c = 48.49 \ feet}

A certain brand of flood lamps has a lifetime that is normally distributed with a mean of 3,750 hours and a standard deviation o
vesna_86 [32]
Given that mean=3750 hours and standard deviation is 300:
Then:
<span>a. The probability that a lamp will last for more than 4,000 hours?
P(x>4000)=1-P(x<4000)
but
P(x<4000)=P(z<Z)
where:
z=(x-</span>μ)/σ
z=(4000-3750)/300
z=0.833333
thus
P(x<4000)=P(z<0.8333)=0.7967
thus
P(x>4000)=1-0.7967=0.2033

<span>b.What is the probability that a lamp will last less than 3,000 hours?
P(x<3000)=P(z<Z)
Z=(3000-3750)/300
z=-2.5
thus
P(x<3000)=P(z<-2.5)=0.0062

c. </span><span>.What lifetime should the manufacturer advertise for these lamps in order that only 4% of the lamps will burn out before the advertised lifetime?
the life time will be found as follows:
let the value be x
the value of z corresponding to 0.04 is z=-2.65
thus
using the formula for z-score:
-2.65=(x-3750)/300
solving for x we get:
-750=x-3750
x=-750+3750
x=3000</span>

Consider this sphere inside the cylinder. Which statements are true? Check all that apply. NEED HELP ASAP​
-Dominant- [34]

Option A: The height of the cylinder is equal to the diameter of the sphere.

Option C: The radius of the sphere is half the height of the cylinder.

Option E: The volume of the sphere is two-thirds the volume of the cylinder.

Solution:

The sphere is inside the cylinder.

Let r be the radius of the sphere.

Option A: The height of the cylinder is equal to the diameter of the sphere.

The sphere is fully occupied the cylinder.

If we draw the vertical line through enter of the sphere, which is equal to the height of cylinder.That is h = d. It is true.

Option B: The height of the cylinder is two times the diameter of the sphere.

That is h = 2d. From the above option, we know that h = d.

So, it is not true.

Option C: The radius of the sphere is half the height of the cylinder.

we know that diameter = 2 × radius (d = 2r)

From option A, we have h = d.

Substitute d = 2r, we get

⇒ h = 2r

Divide by 2 on both sides, we get

$\Rightarrow \frac{h}{2}=r

Therefore, it is true.

Option D: The diameter of the sphere is equal to the radius of the cylinder.

It is not true, because diameters of both cylinder and sphere are equal.

Option E: The volume of the sphere is two-thirds the volume of the cylinder.

Radius of cylinder and sphere = r

Height of cylinder h = 2r (by option C)

Volume of cylinder = Volume of sphere

  $\Rightarrow \pi r^2 h = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 (formula)

$\Rightarrow \pi r^2 (2r) = \frac{2\times2}{3} \pi r^3

$\Rightarrow 2 \pi r^3= \frac{2}{3} \times 2\pi r^3

Hence it is true.

Option A, option C and option E are true.
