Well a cellphone tower has angles and it has a distance so it is possible to use trigonometry to determine its height. tools to be used are maybe a calculator, measuring tape, paper, and a pencil or pen<span />

Answer:

To measure the height of a cell phone tower using trigonometry, we can use trigonometric reasons.

In most of the cases, we recur to the tanget, because it relates the height of the tower cell and the horizontal distance to the tower.

tan \theta = \frac{h}{d}

Where \theta is the angle formed by the ground and the ditance from the grond to the top of the tower, h is the height of the tower and d is the distance between the person and the tower.

The image attached shows the right triangle formed.

So, the tangent reason we use to find the height of the tower.

Using an odometer, we measure the distance of the ground. Using a theodolite we measure the angle \theta. Then, we use the tangent reason to find h.

That's how we measure the height of the tower.

On a piece of paper, graph y&lt; x-3. Then determine which answer matches<br> the graph you drew
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The graph is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The inequality of a line to graph is given as:

y

In order to graph it, we first make the 'inequality' sign to 'equal to' sign. This gives,

y=x-3

Now, we plot this line on a graph. The given line is of the form:

y=mx+b Where, 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.

So, for the line y=x-3, m=1,b=-3

The y-intercept is at (0, -3).

In order to draw the line correctly we find another point. Let the 'y' value be 0.

Now, 0=x-3\\x=3

So, the point is (3, 0).

Now, we mark these points and draw a line passing through these two points.

Now, consider the line inequality y. The 'y' value is less than x-3. So, the solution region will be region below the line and excluding all the points on the line. So, we draw a broken line and shade the region below it.

The graph is shown below.

A bicycle wheel is 63 centimeters from top to bottom. When the wheel goes all the way around one time,the bicycle travels 198 ce
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

π = 198/63

Divide the distance traveled by the wheel to guess the value or estimate the value of π.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the wheel: Diameter of the circle

Perimeter of the circle = π*diameter of the circle

Divide the diameter of the circle by the perimeter of the circle.

π = 198/63

Jason wants to perform a two-tailed test for equality between two independent sample proportions. Each sample has at least 10 "s
Volgvan

Answer:

0.149

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Jason wants to perform a two-tailed test for equality between two independent sample proportions

Each sample has at least 10 "successes" and 10 "failures."

Jason's test statistic is -1.44

Since here proportions are tested Z test might have been used.

Z statistic = -1.44

We can get p value for this Z statistic

p value=0.149

p value for two tailed is 0.149

Comparing this with t statistic we can decide whether to accept or reject null hypothesis.
