So we can make this a triangle: the angle is 40° and the bottom side is 360. Therefore, we want to find the side opposite to the angle, where we use tangent, which is opposite (what we are trying to find)/ adjacent (which is 360 ft).

tan(40°)=x/360

x=360tan(40°) ≈ 302.07. Therefore, the answer is about 302 ft

A single die is rolled twice. Find the probability of rolling an even number the first time and a number greater than 3 the seco

IceJOKER [234]

Events

• A: an even number is rolled in the first time

• B: a number greater than 3 is rolled the second time

The probability of rolling an even number is:

$\begin{gathered} P(A)=\frac{\text{ number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{ total possible outcomes}} \\ P(A)=\frac{3}{6} \\ P(A)=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$

The probability of rolling a number greater than 3 is:

$\begin{gathered} P(B)=\frac{\text{ number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{ total possible outcomes}} \\ P(B)=\frac{3}{6} \\ P(B)=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$

Events A and B are independent, then the probability of one happening after the other is:

$\begin{gathered} \text{ P(A and B) = }P(A)\cdot P(B) \\ \text{ Substituting with the values previously found:} \\ \text{ P(A and B) = }\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{2} \\ \text{ P(A and B) = }\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}$

Angelina wants to buy the same number of pens and pencils. Pens come in 8 packs and pencils come in packs of 9. What is the leas

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Angelina should buy 9 packs of pens and 8 packs of pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each pack of pens = 8 pens

Each pack of pencils = 9 pencils.

Also we know that, Commutative Property of Multiplication states that

a x b = b x a for any two numbers a and b.

So, 8 x 9 = 72 = 9 x 8

Hence, she should buy 9 packs of pens, so she will have 9 x 8 = 72 pens.

And she should buy 8 packs of pencils, she will have 8 x 9 = 72 pencils.
