Bella leans a 20-foot ladder against a wall so that it forms an angle of 76° with the ground. What’s the horizontal distance between the base of the ladder and the wall? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot if necessary.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the cosine ratio, since we are given the length of the hypotenuse (the ladder) and are asked to find the horizontal distance between it and the ground.

Let x represent the horizontal distance (the adjacent leg)

cosine θ = adjacent / hypotenuse

cosine 76° = x / 20

(20)(cosine 76°) = x

4.8 = x

So, the horizontal distance is approximately 4.8 feet

A batch consists of 12 defective coils and 88 good ones. Find the probability of getting two good coils when two coils are randomly selected if the first selection is replaced before the second is made.

Answers

Answer:

0.7744 = 77.44% probability of getting two good coils when two coils are randomly selected

Step-by-step explanation:

For each coil, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is good, or it is not. Since the coil taken is replaced, the probability of choosing a good coil on a trial is independent of any other trial, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

88 out of 100 are good:

This means that [tex]\pi = \frac{88}{100} = 0.88[/tex]

Find the probability of getting two good coils when two coils are randomly selected.

This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.88)^{2}.(0.12)^{0} = 0.7744[/tex]

0.7744 = 77.44% probability of getting two good coils when two coils are randomly selected

If the endpoints of AB are located at (0,7) and (8,8) what is the length of AB?

Answers

Answer:

Taking (8,8) as (x₂, y₂) and (0,7) as (x₁, y₁), we have

(not really a math problem) I have a 125 gallon tank, 5ft long and 6ft in circumfrence 3 inches of fuel in the tank how much gallons is that ` - `

Answers

Answer:

6.25 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

If 125 gallon tank in equivalent to 5ft

1 foot is equal to 12inches...

5 ft ×12 =60 inches

So 125 gallon tank= 60 inches

If 60 inches = 125 gallon

3 inches = 125 × 3 / 60

= 375/60

= 6.25 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

[tex]0.5\times \sqrt{0.09}-2\sqrt{0.05}+\sqrt \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

We need to solve it.

We know that,

[tex]\sqrt{0.09}=0.3\ and\ \sqrt{0.05}=0.223[/tex]

So,

[tex]0.5\times \sqrt{0.09}-2\sqrt{0.05}+\sqrt \frac{1}{4}=0.5\times 0.3-2\times 0.22+0.5\\\\=0.21[/tex]

or

[tex]=\dfrac{21}{100}[/tex]

So, the value of the given expression is equal to 0.21.

At a maximum height (1.20 m) E = _____ PE = _____ KE =_____ h = 1.20 m v = 0 m/s m = 0.620 kg g = 9.81 m/s2


pahelp naman po :<

Answers

Answer:

E = 7.30 J

PE = 7.30 J

KE = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

maximum height, h = 1.2 m

mass of the object, m = 0.62 kg

velocity, v = 0 m/s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

To determine;

total energy, E =?Potential energy, PE =?Kinetic energy, KE =?

The potential energy, PE = mgh

                                    PE = 0.62 x 9.81 x 1.2

                                    PE = 7.30 J

The kinetic energy, KE = ¹/₂mv²

                                KE = ¹/₂ x 0.62 x 0

                               KE = 0

The total mechanical energy, E = PE + KE

                                                 E = 7.30 J + 0

                                                E = 7.30 J
