- Calculating the area of a soccer field, Calculate area of _______
- Calculate the average height of everyone in your family
Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:
We will be using Pythagoras theorem to solve this problem. This is as this problem forms a right-angle triangle. Pythagoras theorem is the following:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where c = hypotenuse of right-angle triangle
Where a and b = other two sides of right-angle triangle
To begin with, we will substitute the values from the problem into the equation. Then we will make the height of the tree the subject of the equation.
a = height of tree = ?
b = distance from the bird on the ground to the base of the tree = 8 metres
c = distance bird travelled from the ground to the top of the tree = 9 metres
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 8^2 = 9^2
a^2 = 9^2 - 8^2
a = square root of ( 9^2 - 8^2 )
a = square root of ( 81 - 64 )
a = square root of ( 17 )
a = 4.123...
a = 4.1 ( rounded to the nearest tenth )
FINAL ANSWER:
Therefore, the height of the tree is 4.1 metres ( rounded to the nearest tenth ).
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
The expected value is $3.95
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to get the expected value
Mathematically, what we have to do here is to multiply each of the probabilities by the pay out value, before we proceed to add up
We have this as;
0(0.5) + 0.2(5) + 0.15(8) + 10(0.1) + 15(0.05)
= 0 + 1 + 1.2 + 1 + 0.75 = 3.95
