To find the height of the tree you need to use the basic trigonometric function known as tangent. Tangent is the equivalent of the opposite side divided by the adjacent side. If you are given the size of the angle (P), tan P = height of the tree / length of the shadow (24ft).

A semicircle has a diameter of 17.6 cm.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

B. 45.23 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of the figure

$=\frac{1}{2}\pi d+d$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times 3.14\times 17.6 +17.6$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times 55.264 +17.6$

$=27.632 +17.6$

$=45.232$

$=45.23\: cm$

let X represent the amount of time till the next student will arriv ein the library partking lot at the university. If we know t

AlekseyPX

Answer:

0.606531 = 60.6531% probability that it will take between 2 and 132 minutes for the student to arrive at the library parking lot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

$f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}$

In which $\mu = \frac{1}{m}$ is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

$P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx$

Which has the following solution:

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

$P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}$

Mean of 4 minutes

This means that $m = 4, \mu = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25$

Find the probability that it will take between 2 and 132 minutes for the student to arrive at the library parking lot:

This is:

$P(2 \leq X \leq 132) = P(X \leq 132) - P(X \leq 2)$

In which

$P(X \leq 132) = 1 - e^{-0.25*132} = 1$

$P(X \leq 2) = 1 - e^{-0.25*2} = 0.393469$

$P(2 \leq X \leq 132) = P(X \leq 132) - P(X \leq 2) = 1 - 0.393469 = 0.606531$

0.606531 = 60.6531% probability that it will take between 2 and 132 minutes for the student to arrive at the library parking lot.

14. Lara bought gift cards to give as gifts. She bought some $20 movie

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The x intercept is represented by the coordinate (x,0) on x axis.

So, to find the x intercept ,we need to equate y=0 in the equation 20x+70y=420

=> 20x+ 70*0=420

=> x=420/20 =21.

x intercept is (21,0).

Find the area of the shaded region. round answers to the nearest tenth. assume all inscribed polygons are regular. 29.3 units2

FromTheMoon [43]

The picture in the attached figure

we know that
the area of the shaded region is equal to
(2/3)*[area of the circle - the area of the triangle]

step 1
Find the area of a circle Ac
Ac = π r²
Ac = π (6)²
Ac = 113.10 units²

step 2
find the area of the triangle At
The triangle is an equilateral triangle with angles on each corner equal to 60 degrees. Meanwhile,
the 3 angles at the center is 120 degrees each since a circle is 360 degree.
We know that the radius (line from centerpoint to corner) is equivalent to 6.
Using the cosine law,
we can calculate for the length of one side.
s² = 6^ + 6² – 2 (6) (6) cos 120
s² = 108
s = 10.4 units
Since this is an equilateral triangle, therefore, all sides are equal.
The area for this is:
At = (sqrt3 / 4) * s²
At = 46.77 units²

step 3
the area of the shaded region=(2/3)*[area of the circle - the area of the triangle]
the area of the shaded region=(2/3)*[113.10-46.77]------> 44.22 units²

therefore

the answer is
the area of the shaded region is 44.22 units²
