Answer:

  a. closer to 0

  b. closer to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>(a)</h3>

For questions like this, we need to assume that dart landing positions are uniformly distributed across the area. Then the probability of a dart landing in a given area is the ratio of that area to the area of the entire target.

For the purpose of answering "closer to 0 or to 1", an estimate of the probability is sufficient. It is not so close to 1/2 that we need to be extra careful in the computation.

Here, the probability of landing a dart in the black circle is less than the probability of it landing in a 2" square. The ratio of the area of that square to the target area is the square of the ratio of the dimensions, so is ...

  (2/11)² = 4/121 ≈ 1/30.

This is closer to 0 than to 1.

__

<h3>(b)</h3>

Then the proportion of the target that is white is greater than 1 - 1/30 = 29/30, which is much closer to 1 than to zero.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

For the black circle to cover half the target area, it would have to have a diameter of about 8.78 inches. The probability of hitting that black circle will be closer to 0 for any diameter less than 8.78 inches.

  π(8.78/2)² ≈ 11²/2

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Area of the square</u>  = l*w = 11*11 = 121  

<u>Area of the circle</u>  = pi r^2 = pi*1^2 =  3.142

<u>Part A</u>

P(hitting the circle) = 3.142 / 121  =  0.026 which is closer to 0.

<u>Part B</u>

P(hitting the outside portion)  = 1 - 0.026 = 0.974 which is closer to 1.

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right angle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find x. In the formula, a^2 + b^2 = c^2, variables a and b represent the lengths of the legs, and variable c represents the length of the hypotenuse.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

18^2 + x^2 = 30^2

324 + x^2 = 900

x^2 = 576

x = 24

Which equation could be solved using the graph above?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Option 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given the graph of a parabola

with vertex at (0,-1) and symmetrical about y axis and also open up.

Hence the equation of the graph would be transformation of y=x^2

by a vertical shift of 1 unit down.

So new equation after transformation would be

y+1=x^2

Ory=x^2-1

Hence option 3 is right choice.

Verify:

Put Solving the equation we get

x^2=1

x=±1

In the graph x intercepts are the same as -1 and 1

Hence our answer is right.

The length of the guy why supporting a cell tower is 120 m the guy wire is anchored to the ground at a distance of 80 m from the
Katarina [22]

Complete Question

The length of the guy wire supporting a cell tower is 120 m. The guy wire is anchored to the ground at a distance of 80 m from the base of the tower to the nearest hundredth of a meter how tall is the tower?

Answer:

89.44m

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using the Pythagoras Theorem

This is given as:

Hypotenuse² = Opposite ² + Adjacent ²

Hypotenuse = Length of the guy wire = 120m

Adjacent = Distance from the base of the tower = 80m

Opposite = Height of the building = x

Hence:

120² = x² + 80²

Collect like terms

x² = 120² - 80²

x = √120² - 80²

x = √(8000)

x = 89.4427191 m

Approximately the height of the tower is = 89.44m
