Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle trig problem. Picture a right triangle. The height of the triangle is the height of the lighthouse, your distance from the base of the lighthouse is what we are solving for, and the reference angle is 2 degrees, which is the angle of inclination from where you stand to the top of this lighthouse. We have the reference angle, the side opposite the reference angle, and we are looking for the side adjacent to the reference angle. This is the tangent ratio: the side opposite the reference angle over the side adjacent to the reference angle. We know the measure of the reference angle and we know the value of the side opposite the reference angle. Filling in:

$tan(2)=\frac{200}{x}$ and

$x=\frac{200}{tan(2)}$ so

x = 5727.25 feet, the third choice down

According to scientific research, the probability that a person between the ages of 20 and 25 having high blood pressure, is onl

boyakko [2]

Answer:

<h2>The probability is ${\frac{83}{100} }^9 \times \frac{17}{100}$ + ${\frac{83}{100} }^8 \times {\frac{17}{100} }^2$ + ${\frac{83}{100} }^{10}$ .</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of having high blood pressure is 17%.

We need to find the probability of 2 or fewer have high blood pressure.

Possibility 1: No one have high blood pressure.

The probability is ${\frac{100 -17}{100} }^{10} = {\frac{83}{100} }^{10}$ .

Possibility 2: Only one have high blood pressure.

The probability is ${\frac{83}{100} }^9 \times \frac{17}{100}$ .

Possibility 3: 2 among the 10 have the high blood pressure.

${\frac{83}{100} }^8 \times {\frac{17}{100} }^2$ .

Any of the possibilities can happen.

Hence, the required probability is ${\frac{83}{100} }^9 \times \frac{17}{100}$ + ${\frac{83}{100} }^8 \times {\frac{17}{100} }^2$ + ${\frac{83}{100} }^{10}$ .

A packed box that is being shipped will be weighed in order to calculate the correct postage needed. The total weight of a packe

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Weight of the package = weight of product + weight of box

Weight of empty box =0.88lb

Total weight of the box is =7.24lb

Let Weight of product inside box=w

Let wet of empty box =y

Total weight = F

Then,

F=y+w

Since F=7.24lb. y=0.88

Then, w=F-y

w=7.24-0.88

w=6.36lb

The weight of the product is 6.36lb

What is the equation of a line that passes through (-2,1) and is parallel to y=3x-4

Rama09 [41]

If a line is parallel to another, the slopes of both lines are the same. So for this problem, you can infer that the slope of the line you're trying to find is 3.

To find the actual equation of the line, you can use the given coordinates and plug them into the point slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

plug the given y coordinate into y1 and the given x coordinate into x1. m is the slope, so plug in 3 for m.

y - 1 = 3(x +2) Use distributive property for right side of equation

y - 1 = 3x + 6 add 1 to both sides to cancel -1 on left side of equation and isolate y

Equation of line: y = 3x + 7

Solve for x 3 (x + 5) = 9

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

- 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3 ( x + 5 ) = 9

x + 5 = 9 / 3

x + 5 = 3

x = 3 - 5

x = - 2
