4.

known side: opposite (150m)

unknown sides: adjacent and hypotenuse

using Tan to find the distance from the tower's base to the key.

why do we use Tan to find the distance?

the tower creates an angle of 72 degrees with the ground, which will be called α, and it is 150m high from the ground which is opposite ∠α. (shown in picture). we can see that the distance from the base of the tower to the key is the adjacent of the ∠α.

Tan α =  opposite / adjacent

=> Tan 72° = 150 / x

=> x = 150 / Tan 72°

=> x = 48.73795443 m = ~48.7m

5.

4.

known side: opposite (150m)

unknown sides: adjacent and hypotenuse

using Sin to find the distance that the ant travelled.

why do we use Sinn to find the distance?

the tower creates an angle of 72 degrees with the ground, which will be called α, and it is 150m high from the ground which is opposite ∠α. (shown in picture). the ant travelled along the tower's body, which is the hypotenuse of the triangle, from the top until reaching the ground.

Sin α =  opposite / hypotenuse

=> Sin 72° = 150 / x

=> x = 150 / Sin 72°

=> x = 157.7193336 m = ~157.7m

6.

(using unrounded numbers to calculate because there is a small difference in results if using the rounded numbers)

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 (pythago)

157.7^2 = 150^2 + 48.7^2

24875.3882 = 24875.3882 (correct)

Use the equation xy= 12.6. Find the value of y when x=7
Marat540 [252]

Answer: y = 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 12.6   If x is 7  but 7  in the equation for x

7y = 12.6   Divide both sides by 7

y = 1.8

Two fair dice, one blue and one red, are tossed, and the up face on each die is recorded. Define the following events:
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that two fair dice, one blue and one red, are tossed, and the up face on each die is recorded.

a) P(E) = P(the difference of the numbers is 3 or more}

Favourable events are (1,4) (1,5)(1,6) (2,5) (2,6) (3,6) (4,1) (5,1) (5,2) (6,1) (6,2)(6,3)

P(E) = \frac{12}{36} =\frac{1}{3}

b)P(F)

Favourable events for F = (1,1) (2,2)...(6,6)

P(F) = \frac{6}{36} =\frac{1}{6}

c) P(EF)

There is no common element between E and F

P(EF) =0

Ms. Hatcher bought the pencil decoration shown below for her bulletin board.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

335.5 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is a rectangle and a triangle

The area of the rectangle is

A = a*b where a is 11 and b is 25

A = 11*25 =275

The area of the triangle is

A = 1/2 b*h  where b is 11 and h is 11

A = 1/2 (11) * 11

A = 60.5

The total area is 275+60.5=335.5
