A slide 4.4 m long makes an angle of 33 with the ground. How high is the top of the slide above the ground

1 answer:

5 0

Using the information given we will only need the Cosine and Sine equations. i made a diagram (cant take a picture, in my study hall) labeled the sides of the triangle A, B, and C. with C as the hypotenuse, A as the Opposite, and B as the adjacent (will not be needed as A is the height). i will be rounding the th nearest thousandth.
Using Sine (SIN=Opposite/Hypotenuse), we can find A.

SIN(33)=A/4.4

SIN(33)≈.545

.545≈A/4.4

now multiply each side by 4.4 to get rid of the division

(.545*4.4)≈((A/4.4)4.4)

2.396≈A

so the answer would be that the slide is about 2.396 M high

Problem 1

Answer: Closer to 1

Explanation:

There are 20 gumballs total. Half of this is 20/2 = 10 gumballs. If there's more than 10 of one color, then the probability of getting that color is closer to 1, than it is to 0. Here we have 12 pink which is greater than 10, so that's why the answer is closer to 1.

================================================

Problem 2

Answer: Closer to 0

Explanation:

The amount of green (3) is less than 10, so that's why the probability is closer to 0 than it is to 1. We can see that 3/20 = 0.15 is less than 0.50

================================================

Problem 3

Answer: Closer to 0

Explanation:

We have a similar situation compared to problem 2. This time we have 5/20 = 0.25 which is less than 0.50

================================================

Problem 4

Answer: 48% chance; fairly likely

Explanation:

We have 12 green out of 25 total, so the probability of choosing green is 12/25 = 0.48 = 48%. While this probability is not over 50%, I still say it's fairly likely considering the other colors lead to smaller probabilities. For instance, purple has a chance of 6/25 = 0.24 = 24% and orange has a probability of 2/25 = 0.04 = 4%, both of which are smaller than 48%

Answer:69.52

Step-by-step explanation:First set up a proportion which is basically a fraction.To set it up first you must put two fractions together with an equals sign in between both fractions.Then add the whole on the denominator to the left then an x for the one above the whole cause were looking for a part.Then add the percent to the top right which in this case is 7.75 then 100 as the denominator cause it represents a whole.Then when looking for a part multiply Denominator on left which in this case is 896.99 then multiply it by the percent 7.75 which should give you 6951.6725 then divide by 100 which is 69.516725 then round which is 69.52.
