A blimp is 1500 meters high in the air and measures the angles of depression to two stadiums to the west of the blimp. If those

measurements are 72.9 degrees and 34.1 degrees how far are the two stadiums to the nearest meter?

Let stadium 1 be the one on the left and stadium 2 the one on the right.

Angle above stadium 1 is 72.9° and the angle above stadium 2 is 34.1° using the angle property of alternate angles(because both the ground and the dotted line are parallel).

For the next part we need to use the trigonometric function of tangent.

As tan x = opposite / adjacent,
Tan 72.9°=1500/ adjacent ( the ground from O to stadium 1)

Therefore the adjacent is 1500/tan 72.9°= 461.46 m( to 5 s.f.)

Same for the next angle,
Tan 34.1°=1500/ adjacent ( the ground from O to stadium 2)

Therefore, the adjacent is 1500/tan 34.1° = 2215.49 m (to 5 s.f.)

Thus, the distance between both stadiums is 2215.49-461.46= 1754.03 m

Correcting the answer to whole number gives you 1754 m which is the option C.

Answer:

We have to find the maximum number of solutions of each of the following system:

1)

Two distinct concentric circles:

Since, distinct concentric circles means that the two circles have same center but different radius.

That means they will never intersect each other at any point.

Ans hence we will get zero solutions.

2)

Two distinct parabolas:

Two parabolas can maximum intersect at 2 points this could be seen by the diagrams.

3)

A line and a circle.

A line and a circle can maximum have 2 solutions.

4)

A parabola and a circle.

It can have maximum two solutions it can be seen from the diagram.

otez555 [7]

Answer:

Due to the higher z-score, David has the higher standardized score

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Which student has the higher standardized score

Whoever had the higher z-score.

David:

Scores on Ms. Bond's test have a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 11. David has a score of 52 on Ms. Bond's test. So X = 52, \mu = 70, \sigma = 11

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{52 - 70}{11}

Z = -1.64

Steven:

Scores on Ms. Nash's test have a mean of 64 and a standard deviation of 6. Steven has a score of 52 on Ms. So X = 52, \mu = 64, \sigma = 6

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{52 - 64}{6}

Z = -2

Due to the higher z-score, David has the higher standardized score
