When the angle of elevation of the sun is 78 degrees, a tree casts a 13 foot shadow. How tall is the tree?

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

A Statistics class is estimating the mean height of all female students at their college. They collect a random sample of 36 fem
Butoxors [25]

Answer: = ( 63.9, 66.7)

Therefore at 90% confidence interval (a,b)= ( 63.9, 66.7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = 65.3

Standard deviation r = 5.2

Number of samples n = 36

Confidence interval = 90%

z(at 90% confidence) = 1.645

Substituting the values we have;

65.3 +/-1.645(5.2/√36)

65.3 +/-1.645(0.86667)

65.3+/- 1.4257

65.3+/- 1.4

= ( 63.9, 66.7)

Therefore at 90% confidence interval (a,b)= ( 63.9, 66.7)

Freddy is buying wings and nachos for a party. a box of ten wings cost $7.00 Nachos cost $4.00 per tray. He must spend less than
soldi70 [24.7K]
Hey there! The answer is 7x + 4y < 40

Let's first rearrange our data in a more structured way.

x represents a box of wings which has a cost of $7.00. Therefore the total cost of the boxes is 7x.

y represents a tray of nachos which has a cost of $4.00. Therefore the total cost of the trays is 4y.

The sum of the costs of trays and boxes, which is (7x + 4y) must be smaller than $40.

Now we can set up the inequality.
7x + 4y < 40

~ Hope this helps you!
