Answer:
5.28°
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw the triangle formed by the sledding run. The hypotenuse is 300. The height is 27.6. The angle of depression is opposite of the height.
Using sine:
sin θ = 27.6 / 300
sin θ = 0.092
θ = 5.28°
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given given that
- Lower confidence interval = 7.1
- Upper confidence interval = 7.5
- As such, We are 95% confident that it's somewhere between 7.1 and 7.5 hours per night
Average value = LCI + UCI /2 = 7.1 + 7.5 / 2
= 7.3hours per night, so we are 95% confident that it's somewhere between 7.1 and 7.5 hours per night which is eventually 7.3hrs per night.
Answer:
106.1 ft/s
Step-by-step explanation:
You know the diagonal of a square is √2 times the length of one side, so the distance from 3rd to 1st is 90√2 feet ≈ 127.2792 ft.
The speed is the ratio of distance to time:
speed = distance/time = 127.2972 ft/(1.2 s) ≈ 106.1 ft/s.
_____
In case you have never figured or seen the computation of the diagonal of a square (the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle), consider the square with side lengths 1. The diagonal will cut the square into halves that are isosceles right triangles with leg lengths 1. Then the Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the diagonal length d:
d² = 1² + 1²
d² = 2
d = √2
Since this is the diagonal for a side length of 1, any other side length will serve as a scale factor for this value. A square with a side length of 90 ft will have a diagonal measuring 90√2 ft.
General exponential equation
y = A(1+r)^x
where
A = initial value
r = rate increase (+) or decrease (-)
x = time period of the change
y = projected value
y = 300(1.05)^x
in this problem, x = years after 2017
we want to find an x that makes the value more than or equal to 650
650 <= 300(1.05)^x
