Distance from tip of shadow to lamp post = 13 +9 feet = 22 ft Height of lamp post = x tan 50 = x /22 = 1.192 x = 22 * 1.192 =.26.2 ft. rounded = 26ft

Answer:

26 ft height

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the streetlamp and the tip of his shadow is 9 + 13 = 22 ft.

A rectangle triangle is formed in which one side is 22 ft long and the other side is the streetlamp height. The angle between the 22 ft side and the hypotenuse is 50°. From tangent definition:

tan(50°) = (streetlamp height)/(22 ft)

tan(50°) * (22 ft) = streetlamp height

26 ft  = streetlamp height

Radium-226, an isotope of radium, has a half-life of 1,601 years. Suppose your chemistry teacher has a 50-gram sample of radium-
Sholpan [36]
We know that
Half-life is modeled by the formula
An=A0*(0.5)<span>^[t/h)]
where
An----------> </span>is the amount remaining after a time t
A0----------> is the initial quantity
t------------> is the time
h------------> is the half-life of the decaying quantity

in this problem
h=1601 years
A0=50 g
An=?
t=100 years
An=A0*(0.5)^[t/h)]---------> An=50*(0.5)^[100/1601)]-----> 47.88 gr

the answer is 47.88 g

For a standardized psychology examination intended for psychology majors, the historical data show that scores have a mean of 52
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

the probability that a sample of the 35 exams will have a mean score of 518 or more is <em> 0.934 </em>or<em> 93.4%</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is s z-test because we have been given a sample that is large   (greater than 30) and also a standard deviation. The z-test compares sample results and normal distributions. Therefore, the z-statistic is:

(520 - 518) / (180/√35)

= 0.0657

Therefore, the probability is:

P(X ≥ 0.0657) = 1 - P(X < 0.0657)

where

  • X is the value to be standardised

Thus,

P(X ≥ 0.0657) = 1 - (520 - 518) / (180/√35)

                       = 1 - 0.0657

                       = 0.934

Therefore,  the probability that a sample of the 35 exams will have a mean score of 518 or more is <em>0.934 or 93.4%</em>.

From Tony's seat in the classroom, his eyes are 1.0 m above ground. On the wall 4.2 m away, he can see the top of a blackboard t
Semmy [17]

Answer:

15 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a horizontal segment approximately 4 inches long. Label the right endpoint A and the left endpoint C. Label the length of AC 4.2 meters. That is the horizontal distance between the eye and the blackboard.

At the right endpoint, A, draw a vertical segment going up, approximately 1 inch tall. Label the upper point E, for eye. Label segment EA 1 meter since the eye is 1 meter above ground.

At the left endpoint of the horizontal segment, point C, draw a vertical segment going up approximately 2 inches. Label the upper point B for blackboard. Connect points E and B. Draw one more segment. From point E, draw a horizontal segment to the left until it intersects the vertical segment BC. Label the point of intersection D.

The angle of elevation you want is angle BED.

The length of segment BC is 2.1 meters. The length of segment CD is 1 meter. That means that the length of segment BD is 1.1 meters.

To find the measure of angle BED, we can use the opposite leg and the adjacent leg and the inverse tangent function.

BD = 1.1 m

DE = 4.2 m

tan <BED = opp/adj

tan <BED = 1.1/4.2

m<BED = tan^-1 (1.1/4.2)

m<BED = 15

Answer: 15 degrees
