Answer:

cos(F) = 9/41

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, so you know that ...

... cos(D) = cos(A) = 40/41.

From trig relations, you know ...

... cos(F) = sin(D)

and

... sin(D)² +cos(D)² = 1

So ...

... cos(F) = sin(D) = √(1 -cos(D)²) = √(1 -(40/41)²) = √(81/1681)

... cos(F) = 9/41

_____

The ratio for cos(A) tells you that you can consider AB=40, AC=41. Then, using the Pythagorean theorem, you can find BC = √(41² -40²) = √81 = 9.

From the definition of the cosine, you know cos(C) = BC/AC = 9/41. Because the triangles are similar, you know

... cos(F) = cos(C) = 9/41

In a group of 90 students, 65 watch rugby, 71 play a sport and 15 do neither.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

$\frac{14}{75}$ probability of selecting a student who plays a sport but does not watch rugby out of the people who play a sport.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Find the probability that a student chosen at random from those who play a sport does not watch rugby."

90-15= 75 students either play a sport OR watch rugby

65+71-75=

136-75=

61 people play a sport AND watches rugby

14 people play a sport and DOES NOT watch rugby

$\frac{14}{75}$ is the probability of selecting a student who plays a sport but does not watch rugby out of the people who play a sport.

Times for an ambulance to respond to a medical emergency in a certain town are normally distributed with a mean of 400 seconds a

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the normal distribution curve, the mean is in the middle and each line to the left and to the right of that mean represent 1- and 1+ the standard deviation. If our mean is 400, then 400 + 50 = 450; 450 + 50 = 500; 500 + 50 = 550. Going from the mean to the left, we subtract the standard deviation and 400 - 50 = 350; 350 - 50 = 300; 300 - 50 = 250. We are interested in the range that falls between 350 and 450 as a percentage. That range represents the two middle sections, each containing 34% of the data. So the total percentage of response times is 68%. We are looking then for 68% of the 144 emergency response times in town. .68(144) = 97.92 or 98 emergencies that have response times of between 350 and 450 seconds.

Last year Lenny had an annual earned income of $58,475. He also had passive income of $1,255, and capital gains of $2,350. What

Lelechka [254]

Answer: d. $62,080

Step-by-step explanation:

The capital gain is the profit earned from an investment whereas the passive income is the income generated by very minimal daily efforts.

Given: Annual income earned by Lenny = $\$58,475$

Passive income = $\$1,255$

Capital gain = $\$2,350$

Now, $\text{Total gross income =Annual income+Passive income+Capital gain}$

$=\$58,475+\$1,255+\$2,350=\$62,080$

Hence, Lenny's total gross income for the year = $62,080

Stephen says that the numbers 38 and 40 are relatively prime. explain why he is incorrect in making this statement

bonufazy [111]

When you say that two numbers are relatively prime, it means that both numbers do not have a common factor except 1. Stephen is incorrect because 38 and 40 are both multiples of 2.

I hope I answered your question. Thank you J
