A building in a downtown business area casts a shadow that measures 88 meters along the ground. The straight-line distance from

the top of the building to the end of the shadow it creates is at a 32° angle with the ground. What is the approximate height of the building? Round your answer to the nearest meter.

A shadow measures 88 m: d = 88 m.
The angle : α = 32°
We will use trigonometry:
h / d = tan α
h / 88 m = tan 32°
h / 88 m = 0.62489
h = 88 m * 0.62489
h = 54.9885 m ≈ 55 m
Answer: The approximate height of a building is 55 meters.

Use 7 scale point.

to its better to use more than 6.6 scale. to make it easier use 7, so to avoid decimals

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ported that 22% of adults in France admitted to texting or e-mailing while driving. A random sample of 110 French adults was randomly selected. What is the probability that 26

Using a binomial distribution with mean = n*p = 110*0.22 = 24.2 and variance = n*p*(1-p) = 24.2*(1-0.22) = 18.876

Approximating it to a normal distribution,

P(x\geq 26)\\\\=P(Z\geq \frac{26-24.2}{\sqrt{18.876} } )\\\\=P(Z\geq 0.41)\\\\=0.3481

Find a set of scalar parametric equations for the line formed by the two intersecting planes. 3x+3y+2z+2=0 2x−3y+2z−2=0
vivado [14]

The normal vectors to the two planes are (3, 3, 2) and (2, -3, 2). The cross product of these will be the direction vector of the line of intersection, (12, -2, -15).

Using x=0, we can find a point on this line by solving the simultaneous equations that remain:

... 3y +2z = -2

... -3y +2z = 2

Adding these, we get

... 4z = 0

... z = 0

so the point we're looking for is (x, y, z) = (0, -2/3, 0). This gives rise to the parametric equations ...

  • x = 12t
  • y = -2/3 -2t
  • z = -15t

By letting t=2/3, we can find a point on the line that has integer coefficients. That will be (x, y, z) = (8, -2, -10).

Then our parametric equations can be written as

  • x = 8 +12t
  • y = -2 -2t
  • z = -10 -15t
