John's method to determine the width of the stream uses the knowledge

that the tangent of 60° is approximately 1.7.

The proper sequence John would use to find the width of the stream are;

  • Step 1; <u>John</u><u> drives a stake opposite the tree to establish a line between two points</u>

  • Step 2; <u>John uses a </u><u>compass </u><u>to walk away from the stakes at a right angle</u>

  • Step 3; <u>On the path John walks until he finds a </u><u>line </u><u>of sight to the tree that equals 60 degrees</u>

  • Step 4; <u>John drives a second </u><u>stake </u><u>in the ground</u>

  • Step 5; <u>John measures the the </u><u>distance </u><u>between the two stakes</u>

  • Step 6; <u>John </u><u>multiplies </u><u>the distance between the two stakes by</u><u> 1.7</u><u> to find the distance</u>.

Reasons:

The steps that can be used to measure the width of the stream are;

Step 1: Drive a stake opposite the tree on the other side of the stream.

Step 2: With the aid of a compass, walk at right angles to the line formed by the stake and the tree.

Step 3; Keep walking along the previous path till a point is reached where the angle formed between the line of site to the tree and the walk path is 60°.

Step 4; At the point where the line of sight to the tree is 60°, a second stake is driven in the ground.

Step 5; Measure the distance between the stakes that are placed in the ground.

Step 6; Given that by trigonometry, the ratio of the width of the stream to the distance between the two stakes is tan(60°) ≈ 1.7, multiply the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the width of the stream.

\displaystyle tan(60^{\circ}) = \mathbf{\frac{Width \ of \ stream}{Distance \ between \ stakes}}

<em>The possible question options are;</em>

<em>John measures the the distance between the two stakes</em>

<em>John uses a compass to walk away from the stakes at a right angle</em>

<em>John multiplies the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the distance</em>

<em>John drives a second stake in the ground</em>

<em>On the path John walks until he finds a line of sight to the tree that equals 60 degrees </em>

<em>John drives a stake opposite the tree to establish a line between two points.</em>

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So

f(x) = -8x +11, for f(-4).​

= -8(-4)+11

= 32 + 11

= 43

At time t=0 hours, a tank contains 3000 litres of water. Water leaks from the tank. At the end of every hour there is x% less wa
Margaret [11]

Answer:

x = 2; K = 0.98

Step-by-step explanation:

At time, t = 0, Volume of Water = 3,000 litres

After t hours , the Volume of water in the tank = Vt

At the end of every hour there is a x% less water in the tank then at the start of the hour

After 1 hour, volume of water left Vt = V1

V1 = 3,000 - 3000 × (x/100)

V1 = 3,000 - 30x

After 2 hours, Volume of water left is V2

V2 = (3,000 - 30 x) - (3,000 - 30 x) × (x/100)

V2 = (3,000 - 30 x) - (3000x - 30x²)/100

V2 = {100(3000 - 30x) - x(3000 - 30x)} /100

V2 = {(3000 - 30x)(100 - x)}/100

Recall, V2 = 2881.2

Therefore

{(3000 - 30x)(100 - x)}/100 = 2881.2

(3000 - 30x)(100 - x) = 288120

300000 - 3000 x - 3000 x + 30 x² = 288120

30 x ² - 6000 x + 11880 = 0

Dividing both sides by 30

x² - 200 x + 396=0

Factorizing:

(x -198)(x-2) = 0

x = 198 or x = 2

Since the percentage by which the water reduces cannot be greater than 100, x = 2 is chosen.

Step 2: Solving for k

Given that Vt=KtV0

K = Vt/V0

At t = 1

V1 = 3000 - 30x

V1 = 3000 - 30 × 2

V1 = 3000 - 60

V1 = 2940

K = 2940/3000

K = 0.98

Which of these is least likely to be the average salary of another of the groups?
Finger [1]

Answer:

$104,000

The probability that the average salary between two groups is the same, is actually low. It could be close, but it's quite difficult to get the same exact amount.
