A little girl is watching planes take off of the runway from a building's rooftop 40 meters away from the airport. If the height

of the building is 400 meters and the girl snaps a photo of a plane at a 24º angle of elevation, what is the altitude, or vertical height, of the plane when the photo is taken?

Answer:

h = 417.81 meters

The altitude of the plane is 417.81 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

given;

The initial height of the girl h0 = 400 m

Horizontal distance from the airport d = 40 m

Angle of elevation of the plane ∅= 24°

The altitude of the plane when the picture was taken is equal to initial height of the girl plus the elevation height.

h = he + h0

And he (elevation height) can be derived as;

he = dtan∅

he = 40tan24°

Substituting into the equation;

h = 40tan24° + 400

h = 417.81 meters

The altitude of the plane is 417.81 meters

Answer:

Rounding to the nearest tenth and rounding to the nearest one hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

round all up or down then  line up and add

12.568= 13

11.426=  11

12.324= 12

11.981=  12

12.601= 13

add the totals then you see

What weight of dry substance is in 150g of a 3% substance solution? What weight of an 8% solution can we have with the same weig
Leto [7]
<span>4.5 g 56.25 g Since the only type of measurement mentioned in this question is weight or mass, I'll assume that the percentage concentration is % m/m (mass/mass). For that type of concentration measurement, simply multiple the percentage by the total mass to get the mass of the desired substance. So 150 g * 3% = 150 g * 0.03 = 4.5g For the amount of 8% solution with the same amount of dry substance, there's 2 ways of calculating the mass of solution. First, use the ratio of percentages, multiplied by the mass of the original solution to get the desired amount of new solution: 3/8 * 150 g = 56.35 g Or calculate it from scratch, like 4.5/X = 8/100 450/X = 8 450 = 8X 56.25 = X In both cases, the result is that you desire 56.25 grams of 8% solution.</span>

The probability that an individual is left-handed is 0.12. in a class of 39 students, what is the probability of finding five le
Snezhnost [94]

We are given:

p = probability = 0.12<span>
n = total students = 39 </span>

x = left handers = 5<span>
u = mean = p* n = 4.68 
σ = standard dev = √ ( n*p*(1-p)) = √ ( 39 * 0.12 * 0.88 ) = 2.03</span>

 

Calculating for the z score:

z = (x – u) / σ<span>
z = (5 – 4.68) / 2.03</span>

<span>z = 0.1576 = 0.16

</span>

Using the standard tables for z, the p value is:

p value = 0.5636 = 56.36%

 

Hence there is a 56.36% chance.

mixer [17]

Answer:

(a) Not mutually exclusive

(b)80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutually Exclusive events are events which cannot occur at the same time. An example is walking forward and backward. When events are presented using Venn diagram, if the sets are disjoint, they are mutually exclusive, otherwise they are not.

(a)The given events "burger" and "fries" are not mutually exclusive since their intersection is not empty as can be seen from the attached Venn diagram.

(b) Probability that a randomly selected person from this sample bought a burger OR bought fries.

P(A or B)=P(A\cup B)=80\%
