Answer:

The height of the building is the long leg.  12.99 foot  

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is a 30° - 60° - 90°.  

In this type of triangle the hypotenuse = the short leg × 2. (it is opposite the 30° angle).   The Long leg = the short leg √3

hypotenuse  is the length of the ladder.  

hypotenuse = short leg (2)                          long leg = short leg \sqrt{3}  

15 = short leg (2)                                        long leg = \frac{15}{2} \sqrt{3}  

\frac{15}{2} = short leg                                             long leg = 12.99

7.5 = short leg

The height of the building is the long leg.  12.99 foot

Answer:

height of the building is 12.99 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

given, try to analyse:

  • ladder 15 feet long.
  • 60 degree angle to the ground.

the height of the building is opposite to the angle 60° and given hypotenuse, the ladder of 15 feet long.

using sine rule:

sin(x) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

sin(60) = \frac{opposite}{15}

opposite = sin(60) *15

opposite = 12.99feet

Therefore the height of the building is 12.99 feet.

Find the common ratio of the geometric sequence: 4,3,9/4
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The common ratio is

\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common ratio in a geometric sequence divide the next term by the previous term

That's

The first term is 3 and the next term is 4

so the common ratio will be

<h2>3/4</h2>

Hope this helps you.

I also need help with this one, simplifying this radical expression. This ones weird.
Darya [45]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorise numerators/ denominators where possible

3x² - 4x + 1 = (x - 1)(3x - 1)

x² - 1 ← is a difference of squares and factors as

x² - 1 = (x - 1)(x + 1)

Expressing the product in factored form

\frac{(x-1)(3x-1)}{(x-1)(x+1)} × \frac{x+1}{3x-1}

Cancel common factors on numerator/denominator, that is

Cancel (x - 1) , (x + 1) and (3x - 1), leaving the simplified form 1

A drone builder states in their terms of conditions that the battery for their foldable drone will last for more than 4 hours of
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The manufacturer's claim is not supported

Step-by-step explanation:

The time duration the battery of the foldable drone is said to last, μ = 4 hours

The number of drones that were tested, n = 10 drones

The sample mean, \overline x = 4.2 hours

The standard deviation, s = 0.4 hours

The hypothesis test level of significance = 0.5

The null hypothesis, H₀; μ = 4

The alternative hypothesis, Hₐ; μ ≠ 4

The test statistic is given as follows;

t=\dfrac{\bar{x}-\mu }{\dfrac{s }{\sqrt{n}}}

We get;

The \ test \  statistic, \  t =\dfrac{4.2 - 4}{\dfrac{0.4}{\sqrt{10} } }  \approx  1.58113883008

Therefore, the test statistic, t ≈ 1.58

The degrees of freedom, d. f. = n - 1

For n = 10, we have;

The degrees of freedom, d. f. = 10 - 1 = 9

From the t-table at 0.5 level of significance, the critical-t = 0.7

Given that the test statistic is larger than the critical-t, we reject the null hypothesis and there is enough statistical evidence to suggest that the manufacturer claim is not supported and that the mean is not 4 hours as claimed.
