Answer:

(i) The length of AH is 7.3784 m

(ii) The length of HC is 10.9389 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles ABC, BAC and ACB is 180º, hence, ACB = 180-90-56 = 34º. Note also that AH breaks the rectangle triangle ABC into 2 rectangle triangles AHB and AHC.

i) In AHB, AB is the hypotenuse, and the angle ABH is equal to ABC, hence it is 56º. AH is the opposite side of that angle and we know that

Sin(ABH) = opposite/hypotenuse = AH/8.9

Thus,

AH = 8.9*Sin(ABH) = 8.9*Sin(56º) = 7.3784 m

ii) In AHC, AH is also the opposite of the angle ACH (which meassures 34º), and HC is the adjacent of that angle (the hypotenuse is AC). As a result

Tan(ACH) = Tan(34º) = 0.6745 = opposite/adjacent = AH/HC = 7.3784/HC

Hence,

HC = 7.3785/0.6745 = 10.9389 m

At a large high school 40 percent of the students walk to school, 32 percent of the students have been late to school at least o

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Option b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that at a large high school 40 percent of the students walk to school, 32 percent of the students have been late to school at least once, and 37.5 percent of the students who walk to school have been late to school at least once.

Proportions of Students coming late to school = coming by walk and late to school + coming by other means and late to school = 0.32 (given)

Proportions of students coming late atleast once and by walk

= 40% * 375%

= $0.4(0.375)\\=0.15$

the probability that the student selected will be one who both walks to school and has been late to school at least once

=0.15

A B C D E Confirm Supplies for last year cost $1,477, which was $177 over budget. Rounded to the nearest 1%, by what percent did

Paha777 [63]

It would be over 12% (11.98375085%)

Lets break it down:

You need to find what percent 177 is of 1,477.
To do this, you need to do 177÷1,477 to get 0.1198 and so on

(To find a percent from a decimal, you move the decimal point 2 places to the right)

If you find the percent, it would be 11.98 (and so on) percent. Rounded to the nearest 1%, it would be 12%

Hope this helps!

b) p ^ꓥqꓥ^ r

c) r → p

d) p ^ ¬qꓥ^ r

e) (p ^ q) → r

f) r ↔ (q v p)

Step-by-step explanation:

ꓥ^ = AND Conjunction

vꓦ = OR disjunction

¬ = NOT Negation

A manufacturer is designing a flashlight. For the flashlight to emit a focused beam, the bulb needs to be on the central axis of

aalyn [17]

From the problem, the vertex = (0, 0) and the focus = (0, 3)
From the attached graphic, the equation can be expressed as:
(x -h)^2 = 4p (y -k)
where (h, k) are the (x, y) values of the vertex (0, 0)
The "p" value is the difference between the "y" value of the focus and the "y" value of the vertex.
p = 3 -0
p = 3
So, we form the equation
(x -0)^2 = 4 * 3 (y -0)
x^2 = 12y
To put this in proper quadratic equation form, we divide both sides by 12
y = x^2 / 12
