Answer:

Distance between boat and light house = 223.88 meter (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of light house = 60 meters

Angle of depression to boat = 15°

Find:

Distance between boat and light house

Computation:

Using trigonometry application:

Tanθ = Perpendicular / Base

Tan 15 = Height of light house / Distance between boat and light house

0.268 = 60 / Distance between boat and light house

Distance between boat and light house = 60 / 0.268

Distance between boat and light house = 223.88 meter (Approx.)

Answer:

16.86 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Speed of the carousel, s = 14 rpm

Distance from the carousel, d = 23 ft

To start with, we convert the given speed to revolution per second, so that

s = 14/60 rev/sec

To find the needed speed, we use the formula

v =2πnR, remember that Diameter = 2R, so we substitute D for 2R and get πnD

v = πnD, and we use this to find our needed velocity

v = 3.142 * 14/60 * 23

v = 72.266 * 14/60

v = 16.86 ft/s

Therefore the boy must run at a speed of 16.86 ft/s in order to be able to match the carousel and jump on it

quester [9]

Answer:1866

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n=200

x=118

Population proportion P=\frac{118}{200}=0.59

\alpha=0.005

Realiability =99%

Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}=2.576

Margin of erroe is given by \sqrt{\frac{p\left ( 1-p \right )}{N}}

0.03= \sqrt{\frac{0.59\left ( 1-0.59 \right )}{N}}

85.667=\sqrt{\frac{N}{0.6519}}[tex]N=1865.88[tex]\approx 1866 Students
