A) Use the trigonometric function and ratio cos(x) = A/H. (Adjacent/Hypotenuse)
1. cos(x) = 135/H
2. H*cos(16°) = 135
3. H = 135/cos(16°)
***Make sure calculator is in degree mode***
4. H = 140.44 ft (rounded to two decimal places)
________

b) Use the function and ratio tan(x) = O/A (Opposite/Adjacent)
1. tan(x) = O/A
2. tan(16°) = O/135
3. 135*tan(16°) = O
4. O = 38.71 ft (two decimal places)

Good luck!

Slips of paper are numbered 1 through 10. If one slip is drawn and replaced 40 times, how many times should the slip with number

Masja [62]

Hey there!

We have 10 pieces of paper. The probability of drawing a 10 is 1/10. Therefore, if we were to draw ten times, the ten should probably be drawn once. If we multiplied our number of drawings by four (10*4=40), our outcome of seeing our slip with the ten should also quadruple and become four times. (1*4=4)

I hope that this helps! Have an awesome day!

I need help on this question!

Romashka [77]

It would be C because if you plug all the x-values in to the equation, it would get the same y values, which would satisfy the equation.
