Answer:

119.2 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the ground distance covered, we must find what the values given are for. 40° is the angle that is θ. 100 ft is the altitude, which is the height. We must find the ground distance covered. So we can find using the tan formula:

tanθ = Opposite side ÷ adjacent side

The opposite side is the height and the adjacent side is the ground distance, which we are going to assume as x. So when all values are substituted:

tan 40° = 100 ÷ x

So,

x = 100 ÷ tan 40°

x = 119.2 ft

tekilochka [14]

Let X be a random variable denoting the amount of winnings in any given round of the game. There is some probability p of winning where P(X=99,500)=p, while P(X=-500)=1-p, assuming these are the only two possible outcomes. So we have

\mathbb E[X]=\displaystyle\sum_xxP(X=x)=99,500p-500(1-p)=100

100,000p-500=100\implies p=\dfrac3{500}=0.006

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

m = v + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Mags (m) is 2 years older than Vector (v)

You can use the equation V + 2 which is Vector's age + 2 years. Which would be equal to Mags' age.

The perimeter of a rectangular movie screen at a local cinema is 148 feet. If the length of the screen is 30 feet longer than th
Rudiy27

The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w)

l = length

w = width

In this problem,

w = x

l = x + 30

the perimeter = 148

Let's plug our values into the perimeter formula above.

148ft = 2(x + x + 30ft)

Combine like terms.

148ft = 2(2x + 30ft)

Distribute the 2

148ft = 4x + 60

Subtract 60 from both sides

88ft = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

22ft = x

The width = x = 22ft

The length = x + 30 = 22 + 30 = 52ft

Answer:

Plot the points in black and connect them.

Plot the point in blue and count up 3 and to the right 1. Plot and connect the points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using your cursor/mouse, you will first choose the color black. Then you will plot the points given to you (2,2) and (5,8) by first finding the x-coordinate of (x,y). Start at 2 on the x-axis. Follow the grid line up two units so you will also be at the 2 on the y-axis. Plot or draw a dot/circle on this grid line. Go back to the x-axis and start again at 5 on the x-axis. Follow the grid line up eight units so you will also be at the 8 on the y-axis. Plot or draw a dot/circle on this grid line. Connect the dots for your line.

Using your cursor/mouse, you will choose the color blue. Then you will plot the point given to you (10,5) by first finding the x-coordinate of (x,y). Start at 10 on the x-axis. Follow the grid line up five units so you will also be at the 5 on the y-axis. Plot or draw a dot/circle on this grid line. Instead of plotting another point. This time you will count from the blue point up three units and over to the right one. Mark this grid line as a point. Now connect them.
