From the setup of the problem, the "length of the top of the bookcase, measured along the attic ceiling" will be the hypotenuse of a right triangle, the length "AB". We have both the angle between AB and AC and the length of AC (3.24 meters), so we can use trigonometric identities.

The cosine of the 40 degree angle between AB and AC is equivalent to the length of AC divided by the length of AB. Equivalently, we have:

cos(40) = \frac{3.24}{h}

where "h", the hypotenuse, is the length we want. Rearranging the formula to solve for h we have that

$h = \frac{3.24}{cos(40)}$

which is 4.2295... meters. Converting to centimeters (multiplying by 100) we have that h = 422.95... centimeters, or if we round the value, h = 423 centimeters.

30 = 5n

n = 6

A box of strawberry cost = $5

A person has = $30

Number of boxes a person can buy = n

Equation to calculate the most number of boxes a person can buy with $30

Amount with the person = cost of a strawberry × number of strawberry

30 = 5 * n

30 = 5n

n = 30/5

n = 6

liraira [26]

Answer:

11/15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find probability, you divide whatever you're looking for over your total. In this case, you have 11 marbles that are not red, and 15 marbles total, so your answer would be 11/15.
