Answer: 20 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Keeping on mind the information shown in the figure attached and the similarity of both triangles, you can calculate the height of the tree (h) as you can see below:

\frac{3}{30}=\frac{2}{h}

2. Now, you must solve for the height. So, you obtain the following result:

h=\frac{30*2}{3}\\h=20

3. Therefore, the height of the tree is 20 meters.

What is the format of this proof? Given: ∠ABC is a right angle, ∠DBC is a straight angle Prove: ∠ABD is a right angle two-column
borishaifa [10]

Answer: Two column proof.

Explanation :

A two-column proof is one common way to organize a proof in geometry.Two-column proof always has two columns where one for statements and one for reasons.

Here,

\angle ABC is a right angle and \angle DBC is a straight angle(180^{\circ}) .    (given)

Therefore, \angle ABD  must be right angle. ( because, \angle ABD=\angle DBC-\angle ABC= 180^{\circ}-90^{\circ}=90^{\circ})

Which is the required proof.

Since, In the above proof both statements and reasons both mentioned, therefore, it is the two column proof.

Note: We can also make a table which consist of two columns, in first we can mention 'statements' while in second column we can mention 'reasons'.

What equation can be used to solve for angle C?
matrenka [14]

The formula for calculating the total interior angle in a regular polygon is given as:

total interior angle = (n -2) 180

where n is the number of sides and since there are  sides:

total interior angle = 360°

To get this angle, we know that it is the summation of all angles:

360° = angle A + angle C + angle B + angle D                         ---> 1

Looking closely, we can see that segments BC and AD are parallel which means that:

angle A + angle C = angle B + angle D                                       ---> 2

Substituting equation 2 to 1:

360 = 2 (angle A + angle C)

angle A + angle C = 180

(x + 16) + (6x – 4) = 180

The lifetime of a cheap light bulb is an exponential random variable with mean 36 hours. Suppose that 16 light bulbs are tested
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

P(T

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution". The probability density function is given by:

P(X=x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}, x>0

And 0 for other case. Let X the random variable that represent "The number of years a radio functions" and we know that the distribution is given by:

X \sim Exp(\lambda=\frac{1}{16})

Or equivalently:

X \sim Exp(\mu=16)

Solution to the problem

For this case we are interested in the total T, and we can find the mean and deviation for this like this:

\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}=\frac{T}{n}

If we solve for T we got:

T= n\bar X

And the expected value is given by:

E(T) = n E(\bar X)= n \mu= 16*36=576

And we can find the variance like this:

Var(T) = Var(n\bar X)=n^2 Var(\bar X)= n^2 *\frac{\sigma^2}{n}=n \sigma^2

And then the deviation is given by:

Sd(T)= \sqrt{n} \sigma=\sqrt{16} *36=144

And the distribution for the total is:

T\sim N(n\mu, \sqrt{n}\sigma)

And we want to find this probability:

P(T< 600)

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z=\frac{T- \mu_T}{\sigma_T}

And replacing we got this:

P(T
