When you have two parallel lines being cut by a transversal, you can use the next statements for the angles:
The measurement of the angles in green is the same (are congruents)
The measurement of the angles in blue is the same (are congruents)
An angle in green is a complementary angle with an angle in blue. (The addition of the two angles has to be 180º)
You know that:
As the angle 3 is congruent with angle 2:
30-24=6
6/30=1/5 aka 20%
The answer is 20%
Hope this helps.
Answer:
a) True
b) True
c) False
d) True
Step-by-step explanation:
A discrete variable is the one where the values taken by it are possible to count (usually the values are natural numbers)
On the other side, a continuous variable is the one that has an uncountable number of values. (usually the values are real numbers)
Considering these definitions we get:
a)The batting average of Joe’s favorite player is a continuous variable: True, this average can take any number among the real numbers.
b) The number of hot dogs that Joe bought is a discrete variable: True, Joe can only buy 1, 2, 3, 4... hot dogs, this set is countable and therefore is a discrete variable.
c) The number of strikeouts in the game is a continuous variable: False, the strikeouts are natural numbers (1, 2, 3, 4...) and therefore are countable and they are a discrete variable.
d) The Quakes standings in the league is a discrete variable: True. The standing of a team in a league is a discrete variable since it can be 1st place, 2nd place... and therefore it's countable.
The given question describes a right triangle with with one of the angles as 20 degrees and the side adjacent to the angle 20 degrees is of length 5,000 feet. We are looking for the length of the side opposite the angle 20 degrees.
Let the required length be x, then
Therefore, the height of the airplane above the tower is 1,819.85 feet.
