$\\ \sf\longmapsto tan40=\dfrac{P}{430}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.83=\dfrac{P}{430}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P=430(0.83)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto P\approx361m$

P=Height of tower

Answer:

$\displaystyle 361\:m.$

Step-by-step explanation:

You would set your proportion up as so:

$\displaystyle \frac{430}{h} = cot\:40° → 430 = hcot\: 40° → \frac{430}{cot\: 40°} = h → 360,8128414... = h \\ \\ 361 ≈ h$

So, the height of the clock tower is <em>approximately</em><em> </em>361 metres.

Answer:

<h3><u>Let's</u><u> </u><u>understand the concept</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Here angle B is 90°

So $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle ABD$ Are right angled triangle

So we use Pythagoras thereon for solution

<h3><u>Required Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

First in triangle ABC

perpendicular=p=8cm

Hypontenuse =h =10cm

We need to find base=b

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed{\sf b^2=h^2-p^2}}$

Substitutethe values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b^2=10^2-p^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt {10^2-8^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt{100-64}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\bf b={\sqrt {36}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b=6$

$\therefore$ $\overline{BC}=6cm$

BD=BC+CD

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=9+6$

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=15cm$

Now in $\triangle ABD$

Perpendicular=p=8cm

Base =b=15cm

We need to find Hypontenuse =AD(x)

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed {\sf h^2=p^2+b^2}}$

Substitute the values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h^2=8^2+15^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {8^2+15^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {64+225}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {289}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h=17cm$

$\therefore$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf x=17cm}}}$

Help pls and explain !!

Aneli [31]

Answer:

d) 5/3 x

Step-by-step explanation:

You substitute a for 2c and b for 5d, so your equation will look like this:

c/d - 2c/5d = x

Then you just simplify into x by making c/d into 5c/5d so you have a common denominator.

5c/5d - 2c/5d = x

3c/5d = x

5/3 is your answer

The probability that a new advertising campaign will increase sales is assessed as being 0.80. The probability that the cost of

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The probability that the cost is kept within budget or the campaign will increase sales is 0.88

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the cost is kept within budget (event A) <u>or</u> the campaign will increase sales (event B) is the <u>union</u> of the probability of those two events. By basic properties of probability, this is:

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P (B) - P(A ∩ B)

and for independent events:

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) * P(B)

So:

P(A ∪ B) = 0.80 + 0.40 - (0.80*0.40) = 1.20 - 0.32 = 0.88
