A flagpole is at the top of a building. 300 feet from the base of the building, the angle of elevation of the top of the pole is

32 degrees and the angle of elevation of the bottom of the pole is 30 degrees. Determine the length of the flagpole (to the nearest foot).

Answer: We can use tangent here to find the length of the flagpole

First, find the length of the building + the flag pole

tan 32 = x/300

x=300tan32=187.460805573

(length of building + flagpole)

find length of building

tan 30 = x/300

x=173.205080757

subtract

187.460805573-173.205080757=14.255724816

round, length of flagpole = 14 feet

Which is more, 1 ton or 388 pounds?
Pavlova-9 [17]
1 ton = 2,000 pounds, so 1 ton would of course weigh more than 388 pounds

Solve GHI. Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Part 1) HI=15\ units

Part 2)

Part 3) < I=28.07\°

The answer is the option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the measure of side HI

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

GI^{2} =GH^{2}+HI^{2}

substitute the values and solve for HI

17^{2} =8^{2}+HI^{2}

HI^{2}=17^{2}-8^{2}

HI^{2}=225

HI=15\ units

Part 2) Find the measure of angle G

In the right triangle GHI

cos(G)=\frac{GH}{GI}

substitute the values

cos(G)=\frac{8}{17}

G=arccos(\frac{8}{17})=61.93\°

Part 3) Find the measure of angle I

Remember that

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

so

substitute the values

61.93\°+90\°+< I=180\°

< I=180\°-(61.93\°+90\°)=28.07\°

A box contains different colored paper clips. The probability of drawing two red paper clips from the box without replacement is
ivann1987 [24]

Answer: 5/14 which is choice B

================================================

How I got this answer:

Define the following events

A = event of picking a red paper clip on the first selection

B = event of picking a red paper clip on the second drawing

Replacement is not made.

Now onto the probabilities for each

P(A) = 2/5 = 0.4 is given to us as this is simply the probability of picking red on the first try

P(A and B) = probability of both events A and B happeing simultaneously = 1/7

P(B|A) = probability event B occurs, given event A has occured

P(B|A) = probability of selecting red on second selection, given first selection is red (no replacement)

P(B|A) = P(A and B)/P(A)

P(B|A) = (1/7) / (2/5)

P(B|A) = (1/7) * (5/2)

P(B|A) = (1*5)/(7*2)

P(B|A) = 5/14

So if event A happens, then the chances of event B happening is 5/14

------------------

A more concrete example:

If we had 15 paperclips, and 6 of them were red, then

P(A) = (# of red)/(# total) = 6/15 = 2/5

P(B|A) = (# of red left)/(# total left) = (6-1)/(15-1) = 5/14

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B|A) = (2/5)*(5/14) = 10/70 = 1/7

At a local health club, a researcher samples 75 people whose primary exercise is cardiovascular and 75 people whose primary exer
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, this is an observational study because the researcher does not apply any treatment.

It's not an experiment because there is no experimentation involved. :)

It's not double-blind because in that case the researcher would have to apply something to two kinds of groups. one aware one the other not. not the case.

It's not D because  The observations are comparing two kinds of subjects and they are not looking for a cause and effect.
