Answer:

Value of θ [Angle of elevation] = 72.54°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Length of foot ladder = 20 feet

Distance of foot from house (Base) = 6 feet

Find:

Angle of elevation

Computation:

Using trigonometry functions

Cos θ = Base / Hypotenuse

Cos θ = Distance of foot from house (Base) / Length of foot ladder

Cos θ = 6 / 20

Cos θ = 0.3

Cos θ = Cos 72.54

Value of θ [Angle of elevation] = 72.54°

A​ single, six-sided die is rolled. Find the probability of rolling an even number or a number less than 5.
Svetach [21]

The probability of rolling an odd number or a number less than 5 is 5/6.

Probability is the likelihood of the occurrence of an event. It is the ratio of number of events to number of possible outcomes.

The possible outcome from rolling a six-sided die is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

P(odd number) = 3/6; P(less than 5) = 4/6; P(odd number and less than 5) = 2/6

Hence:

P(odd number or less than 5) = 3/6 + 4/6 - 2/6 = 5/6

The probability of rolling an odd number or a number less than 5 is 5/6.

Compare the values and order them from least to greatest ???
Dafna1 [17]

Item A and B are in decimal format, convert Item C to decimal by changing the fraction to a decimal by dividing 11 by 16:


11 / 16 = 0.6875

This makes Item C 3.6875


Now you have the 3 items as decimal format now put them in order from smallest to largest:

3.65, 3.6875, 4.1


Item A, Item C, Item B

Possible number of learners in the
Anestetic [448]

Find multiples of 30 and 40:

30: 30, 60, 90, 120, 150

40: 40, 80, 120, 160

The least common multiple is 120, so every 120 minutes they willl both ring.

1 hour = 60 minutes:

120/60 = 2 hours.

The bells ring together every 2 hours.

8 + 2  = 10 am

10 +  = 12pm

12 + 2 = 2 pm

The bells will ring together at am, 12 pm and 2 pm.

What is the domain and range?
Pie

Answer:

Domain: {-6, -2, -1, 1, 3, 6}

Range: {-6, -2, -1, 0, 3}

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the domain of a function, you look at all the possible x-values. this means you look at all the points, and see what their x-values are.

for example, the first point on the left is at (-6, -1). this means that -6 is in the domain. continue doing this for all the points, and you get {-6, -2, -1, 1, 3, 6}

to find the range of a function, it's just like domain but with y-values.

for example, for the leftmost point, it's at (-6, -1) so -1 is part of the range. continuing this with all the points, you get {-6, -2, -1, 0, 3}
