Answer:

The answer to your question is the height of the lamp is 18.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Street lamp shadow = 31.5 ft

Street sign height = 8 ft

Street sign shadow = 14 ft

Street lamp height = x

Process

1.- To find the height of the lamp use proportions. In this kind of problem, we do not look for the length, but the shadow.

Street lamp height/street lamp shadow = street sign height/street sign

                                                                                                         shadow

Substitution

                                             x / 31.5 = 8 / 14

Solve for x

                                            x = (31.5)(8) / 14

Simplification

                                            x = 254.4 / 14

Result

                                            x = 18.2 ft

A plane is flying at 1000 meters above the ground and fires a laser 60 degrees of of straight down. what is the distance the lig
juin [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance the light traveled to the ground is the range of the plane expressed as:

R = U*√2H/g

U is he velocity

H is the max height

g is the acc. due to gravity

Let us get U first using the formula

H = u²sin²Ф/2g

1000 = u²sin²60/2(9.81)

1000*19.62 = 0.8660u²

19620 = 0.8660u²

u² = 19620/0.8660

u² = 22655.88

u = √22655.88

u = 150.52m/s

Next is to get the range

R = 150.52√2(1000)/9.81

R = 150.52 √2000/9.81

R = 150.52√203.87

R = 150.52*14.28

R = 2149.16m

Hence the distance the light traveled to the ground is 2,149.16m

Discuss the validity of the following statement. If the statement is always​ true, explain why. If​ not, give a counterexample.
Zarrin [17]

Correction:

Because F is not present in the statement, instead of working on​P(E)P(F) = P(E∩F), I worked on

P(E∩E') = P(E)P(E').

Answer:

The case is not always true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the odds for E equals the odds against E', then it is correct to say that the E and E' do not intersect.

And for any two mutually exclusive events, E and E',

P(E∩E') = 0

Suppose P(E) is not equal to zero, and P(E') is not equal to zero, then

P(E)P(E') cannot be equal to zero.

So

P(E)P(E') ≠ 0

This makes P(E∩E') different from P(E)P(E')

Therefore,

P(E∩E') ≠ P(E)P(E') in this case.
