The length of line segment BC is 10.5 inches.

Given that

The equation tan(55 degrees) equals 15/b, which can be used to find the length of Line segment AC.

Triangle ABC is shown.

Angle BCA is a right angle and angle BAC is 55 degrees.

The length of AC is b and the length of hypotenuse BC is 15 centimeters.

We have to determine

What is the length of Line segment AC?

According to the question

Triangle ABC is shown.

Angle BCA is a right angle and angle BAC is 55 degrees.

The length of AC is b and the length of hypotenuse BC is 15 centimeters.

Here, BC is not the hypotenuse of the right triangle ABC.

The length line segment AC is given by,

In triangle ABC

\rm Tan\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}

Where \rm tan\theta = 55 degrees, Perpendicular = 15 and base is b.

Substitute all the value in the equation

\rm Tan\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\rm\\\\ Tan55= \dfrac{15}{b}\\\\b = \dfrac{15}{Tan55}\\\\b = \dfrac{15}{1.42}\\\\b = 10.5 \ inches

Hence, the length of line segment BC is 10.5 inches.

City
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The correct option is (B) 69.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table provided represents the probabilities of a positive response to two government programs from citizens in eight cities.

The probabilities mentioned in the table are conditional probabilities, i.e. the probability of a positive response for program 1, given that the individual is from city <em>x</em>.

The probability a positive response for program 1 from an individual from Houston is 69.7%.

Then the conditional probability of a positive response for program 1, given that the individual is from Houston is 69.7%.

Thus, the correct option is (B).
