An adjustable ladder on the back of the firetruck is needed for firefighters to climb to very high buildings. The maximum angle

the ladder can raise is 70°. If the ladder has a maximum length of 100 feet, what is the distance, in feet, that the firetruck can park away from the building to reach its highest point?

Cos 70 = horizontal distance /
 100 horizontal distance = 100 cos 70  = 32.2feet

If AD and BD are bisectors of CAB and CBA respectively. Find the sum of angles x and y.
olchik [2.2K]
The picture in the attached figure

step 1
we know that
It is given that AD and BD are bisectors of ∠CAB and ∠CBA respectively.
Therefore,
x = ∠CAB/2 -----> equation 1
y = ∠CBA/2 -----> equation 2

step 2
In triangle ABC,
∠CAB + ∠CBA + ∠ACB = 180° ----> [The sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180°]
∠CAB + ∠CBA + 110° = 180°
∠CAB + ∠CBA = 180° - 110°
∠CAB + ∠CBA = 70° ------> divide by 2 both sides
∠CAB/2 + ∠CBA/2 = 70/2 -------> equation 3
substitute equation 1 and equation 2 in equation 3
x+y=35

hence

the answer is
x+y =35°
⇒ x + y = 35° ...[From equation (1) and (2)]

At a college, 72% of courses have final exams and 46% of courses require research papers. Suppose that 31% of courses have a res
beks73 [17]

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

72% of courses have final exams and 46% of courses require research papers which means probability of 0.72 for courses that have final exams and 0.46 for courses that require research papers.

31% of courses have a research paper and a final exam, which means probability of 0.31 for both courses with exams and research papers, using Venn diagram approach, find picture attached to the solution.

P(R or E) = P(R) + P(E) - P(R and E), which gives:

P(R or E) = 0.15 + 0.41 - 0.31

P(R or E) = 0.25.

Let X represent the amount of time until the next student will arrive in the library parking lot at the university. If we know t
Ber [7]

Answer:

The probability that it will take more than 10 minutes for the next student to arrive at the library parking lot is 0.0821.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> is defined as the amount of time until the next student will arrive in the library parking lot at the university.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows an Exponential distribution with mean, <em>μ</em> = 4 minutes.

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

f_{X}(x)=\lambda e^{\lambda x};\ x\geq 0, \lambda >0

The parameter of the exponential distribution is:

\lambda=\frac{1}{\mu}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25

Compute the value of P (X > 10) as follows:

P(X>10)=\int\limits^{\infty}_{10}{0.25e^{-0.25x}}\, dx

                 =0.25\times \int\limits^{\infty}_{10}{e^{-0.25x}}\, dx\\=0.25\times |\frac{e^{0.25x}}{-0.25}|^{\infty}_{10}\\=(e^{-0.25\times \infty})-(e^{-0.25\times 10})\\=0.0821

Thus, the probability that it will take more than 10 minutes for the next student to arrive at the library parking lot is 0.0821.
