Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the horizontal distance is x
<u>Use tangent to solve this:</u>
- tan 30° = 6/x
- x = 6 / tan 30°
- x = 10.4 mi (rounded)
Answer:
The length of the chord is 16 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically, a line from the center of the circle to a chord divides the chord into 2 equal portions
From the first part of the question, we can get the radius of the circle
The radius form the hypotenuse, the two-portions of the chord (12/2 = 6 cm) and the distance from the center to the chord forms the other side of the triangle
Thus, by Pythagoras’ theorem; the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides
Thus,
r^2 = 8^2 + 6^2
r^2= 64 + 36
r^2 = 100
r = 10 cm
Now, we want to get a chord length which is 6 cm away from the circle center
let the half-portion that forms the right triangle be c
Using Pythagoras’ theorem;
10^2 = 6^2 + c^2
c^2 = 100-36
c^2 = 64
c = 8
The full
length of the chord is 2 * 8 = 16 cm
The first one is 17 13/15 the second one is 22 1/20
3. The answer is 18 because 12➗4= 3 so 6*3=18
Answer:
0.0025 = 0.25% probability that both are defective
Step-by-step explanation:
For each item, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are defective, or they are not. Items are independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which 
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
5 percent of these are defective.
This means that 
If two items are randomly selected as they come off the production line, what is the probability that both are defective
This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So
0.0025 = 0.25% probability that both are defective
