He is 174 yards from the top.

Since we have a 60° angle and a right angle, this is a 30-60-90 triangle.  In these triangles, we can label the sides as t, t√3 and 2t, with t being the side opposite the 30° angle (the smallest side); t√3 being the side opposite the 60° angle (the middle side); and 2t being the hypotenuse (the longest side).

Our 87 yard side is across from the 30° angle, so it is t.

The side we are looking for is the hypotenuse, which would be 2t; 2(87) = 174.

MrMuchimi
Hello,

If 1 black shoe is selected from a bin of 6 black shoes and 4 brown shoes and not replaced, then there are 5 black shoes and 4 brown shoes remaining. To find the probability that the a black shoe will be selected out of 5 black shoes and 4 brown shoes, we divide the number of black shoes over the total number of shoes (Each selection of a shoe is independent).

Doing this, we get 5 / (5+4) = 5/9 ≈ 0.55 
The probability that a second shoe selected will be black is 0.55.

Hope this helps!

Jane builds a ramp made of a triangular prism and a rectangular prism. What is the volume
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Correct option: third one ->  11.5 m3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the ramp, first we need to find the volume of the rectangular prism and the volume of the triangular prism:

V_rectangular = 4m * 2m * 1m = 8 m3

V_triangular = (2m * 3.5m * 1m) / 2 = 3.5 m3

Now, to find the volume of the ramp, we just need to sum both volumes:

V_total = V_rectangular + V_triangular = 8 + 3.5 = 11.5 m3

Correct option: third one.
