Archie and Veronic are located one mile (5280 ft) apart on the ground. They observe a blimp directly over the road between them.

Archie measures the angle of elevation from the ground to the blimp to be 53 degrees. Veronica measures the angle of elevation from the ground to the blimp to be 22 degrees. How far above the ground is the blimp?

Answer:

The height of the blimp above the ground = 1635.363039 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Archie and Veronica are located one mile (5280 ft) apart on the ground. So AV = 5280 feet.

Suppose the height of blimp above the ground is XB = h feet.

Archie measures the angle of elevation from the ground to the blimp to be 53 degrees. So angle ∠BAX = 53°.

Veronica measures the angle of elevation from the ground to the blimp to be 22 degrees. So angle ∠BVX = 22°.

Considering Right triangle ΔAXB, cot(A) = AX / XB

AX = XB*cot(A) = h*cot(53°) = 0.75355405*h

Considering Right triangle ΔVXB, cot(B) = VX / XB

VX = XB*cot(B) = h*cot(22°) = 2.475086853*h

We know AV = 5280 and AX + VX = AV.

So AX + VX = 5280.

0.75355405*h + 2.475086853*h = 5280.

3.228640904*h = 5280.

h = 5280 / 3.228640904 = 1635.363039 feet.

Hence, the height of the blimp above the ground = 1635.363039 feet.

A marker is randomly selected from a drawer that contains 20 green, 44 orange, and 30 blue markers.Which statement is true?
Black_prince [1.1K]
Probability =  \frac{number of choice}{total number of choices}
# green = 20
# orange = 44
# blue = 30
Total = 20 + 44 + 30 = 94

P(green) =  \frac{20}{94} =  0.212

P(orange) =  \frac{44}{94} = 0.468
P(blue) =  \frac{30}{94} = 0.319

The solutions to a quadratic equation are x = 2 and x = 7. If k is a nonzero constant, which of the following must be equal to t
Serggg [28]
ANSWER


The correct option is,
k(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0

EXPLANATION

We were given that the solutions of the quadratic equation are
x = 2
and
x = 7.

This tells us that,

x - 2

and
x - 7

are factors of the quadratic equation.



This implies that the quadratic equation is of the form,

(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0

We were also told that

k


is a non zero constant.



This means that we can use k to multiply the whole equation and the solution will not be affected.


Our equation now becomes,

k(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0


Hence the correct answer is A.

Here is the histogram of a data distribution. All class widths are 1. What is the median of this distribution?
Bingel [31]

Answer:

The median is 4.

Step-by-step explanation

if you layout all the number, you get

1,2,2,3,3,3,4,5,5,5,6,6,7

So, to find the median you find the number(s) right in the middle.

(Ex. 3,4,5; 4 is the median)

(Ex. 3,4,5,7; 4.5 is the answer)

The middle number of

1,2,2,3,3,3,4,5,5,5,6,6,7

is 4, so 4 is the median.

hope this helps. :)

contractor wishes to build 9 houses, each different in design. In how many ways can he place these houses on a street if 6 lots
Tju [1.3M]

The houses can be placed in 362,880 ways.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The 9 houses are each in different design.

The each lot can place any of the 9 houses.

  • The 1st lot can place anyone house of all the 9 houses.
  • The 2nd lot can place one of remaining 8 houses.
  • The 3rd lot can place one of remaining 7 houses.

Similarly, the process gets repeated until the last house is placed on a lot.

<u>From the above steps, it can be determined that :</u>

The number of ways to place the 9 houses in 9 lots = 9!

⇒ 9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1

⇒ 362880 ways.

Therefore, the houses can be placed in 362880 ways.
