Answer: 61.16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think in this situation as a triangle rectangle.

where:

The height of the tree is one cathetus

The shadow of the tree is the other cathetus.

We know that the angle of elevation of the sun is 78°, an angle of elevation is measured from the ground, then the adjacent cathetus to this angle is the shadow of the tree. And the opposite cathetus will be the height of the tree.

Now we can remember the relationship:

Tg(A) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

Where:

A = 78°

Adjacent cathetus = 13ft

opposite cathetus = height of the tree = H

Then we have the equation:

Tg(78°) = H/13ft

Tg(78°)*13ft = H = 61.16 ft

White raven [17]

Answer:

From both approaches P(F or G)=0.667

Step-by-step explanation:

P(F or G)=?

F={9, 10, 11, 12, 13}

G={13,14,15,16}

Finding P(F or G) by counting outcomes in F or G

F or G={9, 10, 11, 12, 13}or {13,14,15,16}

F or G={9, 10, 11, 12,13,14,15,16}

number of outcomes in F or G=n(F or G)=8

S={9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20}

number of outcomes in S=n(S)=12

P(F or G)=n(F or G)/n(S)

P(F or G)=8/12

P(F or G)=0.667

Finding P(F or G) by addition rule

P(F or G)=P(F)+P(G)-P(F and G)

F={9, 10, 11, 12, 13}

number of outcomes in F=n(F)=5

P(F)=n(F)/n(S)

P(F)=5/12

P(F)=0.417

G={13,14,15,16}

number of outcomes in G=n(G)=4

P(G)=n(G)/n(S)

P(G)=4/12

P(G)=0.333

F and G={9, 10, 11, 12, 13}and {13,14,15,16}

F and G={13}

number of outcomes in F and G=n(F and G)=1

P(F and G)=n(F and G)/n(S)

P(F and G)=1/12

P(F and G)=0.083

P(F or G)=P(F)+P(G)-P(F and G)

P(F or G)=0.417+0.333-0.083

P(F or G)=0.667

stira [4]

Answer:

50 Minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function c approximates the total number of calls made after m minutes since the start of the phone tree.

$c(m)=\frac{2}{3}\times (3^{\frac{m}{10}}-1)$

We need to find the number of minutes after which the total number of calls will 363.

Substitute c(m)=363 in the given function.

$363=\frac{2}{3}\times (3^{\frac{m}{10}}-1)$

Multiply 3/2 both sides.

$363\times \frac{3}{2}=(3^{\frac{m}{10}}-1)$

$242=3^{\frac{m}{10}}-1$

Add 1 on both sides.

$243=3^{\frac{m}{10}}$

$3^5=3^{\frac{m}{10}}$

On comparing both sides we get

$5=\frac{m}{10}$

Multiply both sides by 10.

$50=m$

Therefore, the total number of calls will 363 after 50 minutes since the start of the phone tree.

Vikki [24]

Answer:

28 cubs

Step-by-step explanation:

Since one and a half bear produces one and a half cub, then 6 bears will produce 6 cubs in one and a half days.

We need to find 7 days, though but we have the rate for six bears for 1.5 days which 6 bears one a half day.

What is the rate for a day?

6/1.5 =

6 bears produce 4 cubs a day.

Now just do 4 x 7

4 x 7 = 28

Therefore, 6 bears produce 28 cubs in 7 days.
