A cable runs from the top of a building to a point on the ground 60.3 feet from the base of the building. If the cable makes and

angle of 33.7˚ with the ground (see figure), find the following: a. Find the height of the building. Round your answer to the nearest foot. b. Without using your answer from part a, find the length of the cable. Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Part A:

Given that the <span>cable runs from the top of a building to a point on the ground 60.3 feet from the base of the building and that the </span>cable makes and angle of 33.7˚ with the ground.

Let the height of the building be h, then

\tan33.7^o= \frac{h}{60.3}  \\  \\ \Rightarrow h=60.3\tan33.7^o \\  \\ \approx40\, feet.



Part B:

Given that the cable runs from the top of a building to a point on the ground 60.3 feet from the base of the building and that the cable makes and angle of 33.7˚ with the ground.

Let the length of the building be l, then

\cos33.7^o= \frac{60.3}{l}  \\  \\ \Rightarrow l=\frac{60.3}{\cos33.7^o} \\  \\ \approx72\, feet.

Solve for W when: B = 703 * w/h (squared). Note: w/h is a fraction where h is squared
svlad2 [7]
We are given with the expression <span> B = 703 * w / h^2. To isolate w in the function, we multiply the whole equation by h^2. This results to B h^2 = 703 w. Next, we divide the equation by 703 to isolate w. The final expression of w becomes w = B h^2 / 703  </span>

Bob can go to work by one of four modes of transportation: 1.) bicycle, 2.) car, 3.) bus and 4.) train. If he takes his bicycle,
Triss [41]

Answer:

the probability is 0.311 (31.1%)

Step-by-step explanation:

defining the event L= being late to work :Then knowing that each mode of transportation is equally likely (since we do not know its travel habits) :

P(L)= probability of taking the bicycle * probability of being late if he takes the bicycle + probability of taking the car* probability of being late if he takes the car  + probability of taking the bus* probability of being late if he takes the bus +probability of taking the train* probability of being late if he takes the train = 1/4  * 0.75 +   1/4 * 0.43 + 1/4  * 0.15  + 1/4 * 0.05 = 0.345

then we can use the theorem of Bayes for conditional probability. Thus defining the event C= Bob takes the car , we have

P(C/L)=  P(C∩L)/P(L) = 1/4 * 0.43 /0.345 = 0.311 (31.1%)

where

P(C∩L)= probability of taking the car and being late

P(C/L)= probability that Bob had taken the car given that he is late

Describe how you can change the problem by changing the quick picture
max2010maxim [7]
When you change the quick picture, the problem always changes and so does the sum of the problem, but if you like change the same numbers around you gonna get the same outcome.
