A) 1/6
B) 5/6
C) 1
D) 20
Explanation:
A) There is one 6 on a 6-sided die, out of 6 numbers.
B) There are 5 numbers that are not 6 on a 6 sided die, out of 6 numbers.
C) P( 6 or ~6) = P(6) + P(~6) = 1/6 + 5/6 = 6/6 = 1
D) 1/6(120) = 120/6 = 20
Answer:
It is one-half the area of a rectangle with sides 4 units × 3 units
Step-by-step explanation:
One side of the triangle is on the line y = 2 between points x=2 and x=6. So, that side has length 6-2 = 4.
The opposite vertex has y-value 5, so is 3 units away from the line y = 2.
The area of the triangle can be considered to have a base of 4 and a height of 3. In the formula ...
A = (1/2)bh
we find the area to be ...
A = (1/2)×(4 units)×(3 units) . . . . triangle area
__
A rectangle's area is the product of its length and width. So, a rectangle that is 4 units by 3 units will have an area of ...
A = (4 units)×(3 units) . . . . rectangle area
Comparing the two area formulas, we see that the triangle area is 1/2 the area of the rectangle with sides 4 units × 3 units.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression:
To simplify the expression, we will use the formula (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b².
[Where "a and b" are the first and second term in (a - b)²]
In this case, the first term of (2x - 12)² is "2x" and the second term is "12".
![\rightarrowtail (2x)^{2} - 2(2x)(12) + (12)^{2} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ [\small\text{First term = a = 2x; Second term = b = 12]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crightarrowtail%20%282x%29%5E%7B2%7D%20-%202%282x%29%2812%29%20%2B%20%2812%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%20%5B%5Csmall%5Ctext%7BFirst%20term%20%3D%20a%20%3D%202x%3B%20Second%20term%20%3D%20b%20%3D%2012%5D%7D)
Now, simplify the expression.
The question is find the height of the tree, given that at two points 65 feet apart on the same side of the tree and in line with it, the angles of elevaton of the top of the tree are 21° 19' and 16°20'.
1) Convert the angles to decimal form:
19' * 1°/60' = 0.32° => 21° 19' = 21.32°
20' * 1°/60' = 0.33° => 16° 20' = 16.33°
2) Deduce the trigonometric ratios from the verbal information.
You can form a triangle with
- horizontal leg x + 65 feet
- elevation angle 16.33°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
=> trigonometric ratio: tan (16.33) = h /( x + 65) => h = (x+65) * tan(16.33)
You can form a second triangle with:
- horizontal leg x
- elevation angle 21.32°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
=> trigonometric ratio: tan(21.32) = h / x => h = x * tan(21.32)
Now equal the two expressions for h:
(x+65)*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(16.33) + 65*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(21.32) - x*tan(16.33) = 65*tan(16.33)
=> x = 65*tan(16.33) / [ tan(21.32) - tan(16.33) ] = 195.73 feet
=> h = 195.73 * tan(21.32) = 76.39 feet.
Answer: 76.39 feet
