Answer: 11.1 m

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by the Pythagorean theorem where;

c² = a² + b²

c is the hypotenuse which is the distance from the top of the building to the tip of the shadow.

a is the height

c is the length

32² = 30² + b²

b² = 32² - 30²

b² = 1,024 - 900

b² = 124

b = √124

b = 11.1 m

Given that P(A) = 0.5, P(B) = 0.2, and P(A and B) = 0.1, which best describes the relationship between events A and B?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: Events A and B are independent.

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

Explanation:

Note how,

P(A)*P(B) = 0.5*0.2 = 0.1

which matches exactly with P(A and B) = 0.1

Therefore,

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)

is a true statement. This further leads to events A and B being independent.
