Answer:

2.5477 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the image attached to understand my solution.

BC = height of lamppost.

DE = Julia

AD = shadow of Julia

BD = 2 feet.      AD = 5 feet

BA = BD + AD

       = 2 + 5 = 7 feet

In ΔABC

tan 20° = \frac{BC}{BA}  = \frac{BC}{7}

BC = 7 * tan 20°

BC = 2.5477 feet

SO the height of lamppost = 2.5477 feet

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: a) Length of wire to replace old one=9ft

b) Length of wire=3.09ft

Leftover wire=0.91ft

Step-by-step explanation: from the right angle triangle, Tan&=20/15

&=53.13°

Length of wire,x=cos 31.13=x/15

15cos31.13

X=9

b) Tan&=10/6

Tan^-110/6

&=59.05

Length= 6cos59.04

X=3.09

4-3.09=.91= leftover wire

A. Show one pair of corresponding points and two pairs of corresponding sides in the original polygon and its copy. B. what scal
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(A).Two corresponding sides of the given figures will be,

AB and DE

BC and EF

Similarly one pair of corresponding points will be,

A and D.

(B). Since large figure has been scaled to the smaller image,

Scale factor = \frac{\text{Side of the image}}{\text{Side of the actual figure}}

                    = \frac{\text{AB}}{\text{DE}}

                    = \frac{0.5}{2}

                    = 0.25

Therefore, scale factor will be 0.25.

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

No, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that true average task time with armor is less than 2 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that true average task time with armor is less than 2 seconds.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=2\\\\H_a:\mu< 2

The significance level is 0.01.

The sample has a size n=52.

The sample mean is M=1.95.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=0.2.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{0.2}{\sqrt{52}}=0.028

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{1.95-2}{0.028}=\dfrac{-0.05}{0.028}=-1.803

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=52-1=51

This test is a left-tailed test, with 51 degrees of freedom and t=-1.803, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

P-value=P(t

As the P-value (0.039) is bigger than the significance level (0.01), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that true average task time with armor is less than 2 seconds.

What percent of 137.4 is 96?
Neporo4naja [7]
X = 96

100 137.4

137.4x=(100)(96)

137.4x=9600

137.4x/137.4=9600/137.4

x=70%
