A cable 19 m long runs from the top of a utility pole to a point on the ground 10 m from the base of the pole. How tall is the u

tility pole, to the nearest tenth

Answer:

16.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can draw a picture. The cable goes from the top of the pole to the ground (with the pole on the right in my drawing), and the point on the ground is 10 m away from the base of the pole. This forms a right triangle, with the right angle being between the 10 m distance and the pole itself. We can then apply the Pythagorean Theorem, so

a²+b²=c², with c being the side opposite the right angle (the cable), getting us

10²+(length of pole)² = 19²

19²-10²=(length of pole)²

= 261

square root both sides to isolate the length of the pole

length of pole ≈ 16.2 m

Amy, Bruce and Carlos collected a total of 168 pounds of cans to recycle. Bruce collected 1/3 the number of pounds of cans Carlo
disa [49]
A + b + c = 168
b = 1/3c
a = b + c....a = 1/3c + c = 4/3c

now we sub
4/3c + 1/3c + c = 168
8/3c = 168
c = 168 * 3/8
c = 504/8
c = 63 <=== Carlos collected 63 lbs

a = 4/3c
a = 4/3(63)
a = 252/3
a = 84 <== Amy collected 84 lbs

b = 1/3c
b = 1/3(63)
b = 63/3 <== Bruce collected 21 lbs
b = 21

A random sample of 11 fields of rye has a mean yield of 20.1 bushels per acre and standard deviation of 7.66 bushels per acre. D
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

17.1≤x≤23.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the confidence interval is expressed as;

CI = x ± z*s/√n

x is the mean yield = 20.1

z is the 80% z-score = 1.282

s is the standard deviation = 7.66

n is the sample size =  11

Substitute

CI = 20.1 ± 1.282*7.66/√11

CI = 20.1 ± 1.282*7.66/3.3166

CI = 20.1 ± 1.282*2.3095

CI =  20.1 ±2.9609

CI = (20.1-2.9609, 20.1+2.9609)

CI = (17.139, 23.0609)

hence the required confidence interval to 1dp is 17.1≤x≤23.1

Use the Law of Sines to solve the triangle. (Let b = 47.7 yd. Round your answers for a and c to two decimal places.)
klio [65]

Answer:

C = 68.667°

a = 123.31 yd.

c = 114.90 yd.

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing image for the question is attached to this solution.

In the missing image, a triangle AB is given with angles A and B given to be 88° 35' and 22° 45' respectively

We are them told to find angle C and side a and c given that side b = 47.7 yd.

A = 88° 35' = 88° + (35/60)° = 88.583°

B = 22° 45' = 22° + (45/60)° = 22.75°

The sum of angles in a triangle = 180°

A + B + C = 180°

C = 180° - (A + B) = 180° - (88.583° + 22.75°) = 68.667°

The sine law is given as

(a/sin A) = (b/sin B) = (c/sin C)

Using the first two terms of the sine law

(a/sin A) = (b/sin B)

a = ?

A = 88.583°

b = 47.7 yd.

B = 22.75°

(a/sin 88.583°) = (47.7/sin 22.75°)

a = (47.7 × sin 88.583°) ÷ sin 22.75°

a = 123.31 yd.

Using the last two terms of the sine law

(b/sin B) = (c/sin C)

b = 47.7 yd.

B = 22.75°

c = ?

C = 68.667°

(47.7/sin 22.75°) = (c/sin 68.667°)

c = (47.7 × sin 68.667°) ÷ sin 22.75°

c = 114.90 yd.

Hope this Helps!!!
