Al and Bill each have two bullets. They fire alternately at a glass bottle. Al has hitting probability 1/3 and Bill 1/4. What is the probability that Al smashes the bottle if he is the one who fires the first shot? (Note: Al can smash the bottle even if he misses with his first shot.)

Answers

Answer 1
P(Al hits bottle first time) = 1/3
P(Al misses the first shot but hits on his second shot) =  
P( Al misses and bill misses and Al hits) = 2/3 * 3/4 * 1/3 = 1/6

So required probability = 1/3 + 1/6 =  1/2

Eric leans a ladder against the roof of his house so that the ladder forms a 2004-04-02-01-00_files/i0260000.jpg angle with the ground. The roof of the house is 13 feet above the ground. How far is the bottom of the ladder from the base of the house? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

A right angled triangle can be formed from the given scenario as shown below in the figure:

We have a perpendicular(opposite side), the measure of angle and we are interested in finding the hypotenuse.

sine of the angle relates its perpendicular side to hypotenuse as:

sin(x) = perpendicular/hypotenuse



Hypotenuse = Perpendicular/sin(x) = 13/sin(70) = 13.8 feet

This means, the length of the ladder is 13.8 feet, rounded to nearest tenth.

Answer:

4.7 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the base of the house.

We have been given that Eric leans a ladder against the roof of his house so that the ladder forms a 70 angle with the ground. The roof of the house is 13 feet above the ground.

Upon looking at our attached graph we can see that ladder and wall of house forms a right triangle with respect to ground, where x is adjacent and side with 13 ft length is opposite side to the angle of 70 degrees.

We know that tangent relates opposite side of a right triangle with adjacent, so we can set an equation as:

[tex]\text{tan}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{tan}(70^{\circ})=\frac{13}{x}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{13}{\text{tan}(70^{\circ})}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{13}{2.747477419455}[/tex]

[tex]x=4.7316\approx 4.7[/tex]

Therefore, the bottom of ladder is 4.7 feet away from the base of the house.

Lila draws a 145 degree angle. then she divides it into three smaller angles. One of the smaller angles measures 65 degrees, then the other two are equal in measure. What is the measure of the other two.

Answers

Let each of the equal small angles be x.

The sum of three small angles is 145 degrees. One of these small angles is 65  degrees.

Now let us substitute the given information in an equation.

[tex]2x+65=145[/tex]

After subtracting 65 from both sides of equation we get

[tex]2x=80[/tex]

Dividing both sides of equation with 2 we get

[tex]x=\frac{80}{2}=40[/tex]

Therefore measure of each of the remaining angles is 40 degrees.

The measure of the other two smaller angles, given that they are equal would be 40 degrees.

How to find the measure of angles ?

Let's denote the measure of the other two smaller angles as "x."

We know that the sum of the three angles should be equal to the original 145-degree angle. Therefore, we can set up the equation:

65 + x + x = 145

Simplifying the equation:

65 + 2x = 145

Next, we can isolate "x" by subtracting 65 from both sides of the equation:

2x = 145 - 65

2x = 80

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for "x":

x = 80 / 2

x = 40

So, the measure of the other two smaller angles is 40 degrees each.

What is the gcf of 108 and 132

Answers

Answer:
12

Explanation:

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the largest factor two numbers share within their respective factor trees. In order to find the GCF, list factors of each number and then select the biggest one they have in common.

Factors of 108 are:
1, 108; 2, 54; 4, 27; 6, 18; 9, 12

Factors of 132 are:
1, 132; 2, 66; 3, 44; 4, 33; 6, 22; 11, 12

As can be observed, the largest number they have in common is 12. Therefore the GCF of 108 and 132 is 12.

Tree a lived for 6 decades and 5 years. Tree b lived for 58 years. Which tree lived longer

Answers

Final answer:

Tree A, which lived for 65 years (6 decades and 5 years), lived longer than Tree B, which lived for 58 years.

Explanation:

To answer which tree lived longer, we can calculate the age of both trees. Tree A lived for 6 decades and 5 years. Since one decade is equal to 10 years, 6 decades would be 6 x 10 years, which is 60 years. Adding the additional 5 years, Tree A lived for a total of 60 + 5 = 65 years.

Tree B lived for 58 years. Comparing both ages, Tree A lived for 65 years while Tree B lived for 58 years. Therefore, Tree A lived longer than Tree B.

A car tire has a radius of 15 inches. Suppose the car is traveling at 60 miles per hour (1 mile = 5,280 feet). What is the approximate rate of spin, in revolutions per minute, of the tire? Round the answer to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Radius = r = 15 inches
Speed of the car = v = 60 miles per hour
= 60 x 5280 feet per hour
= 316800 feet per hour
= 316800 x 12 inches per hour
= 3801600 inches per hour
= 3801600/60 inches per minute
= 63360 inches per minute

Angular velocity = w = ?

v = r w 
w = v/r

So,

w = 63360/15
= 4224 radians per minute
= 4224/2π revolutions per minute
= 672 revolutions per minute

So, the angular velocity of the tire is 672 revolutions per minute
First find the distance covered in 1 revolution,
Circumference  = 2π×15/12 = 7.85398 feet.              (1 foot=12 inches)

7.85398 feet = 7.85398/5280 = 0.001487496522 miles 

In 1 hour, it travels 60 miles. This means it travels (60/60) miles in 1 minute.

So, it travels 1 mile in 1 minute.

The rate of rotation = 1/0.001487496522
                               = 672.27rpm

To the nearest whole number = 672 rpm

Answers

The cat travels 0.7 times as far as the dog on each stride, but it takes 1.3 times as many strides in a given time interval. Hence the cat's distance relative to the dog's is 0.7*1.3 = 0.91. This is less distance than the 1 unit the dog covers in the same time.

The dog will win the race.

the answer would be 90% because when you multiply 30% x 30% =90% its the same as 3 x 3 = 9

Daisies cost $0.99 each and tulips cost $1.15 each. Maria bought a boquet of daisies and tulips. It contained 12 flowers and cost $12.52. Find the number of daisies and the number tulips in the bouquet

Answers

Final answer:

Maria bought 8 daisies and 4 tulips in the bouquet.

Explanation:

Let's assume that Maria bought x daisies and y tulips. Since the total number of flowers in the bouquet is 12, we can write the equation: x + y = 12.

Also, the total cost of the bouquet is $12.52. Using the cost per flower, we can write another equation: 0.99x + 1.15y = 12.52.

Now we have a system of equations that we can solve. Multiplying the first equation by 0.99, we get 0.99x + 0.99y = 11.88. Subtracting this equation from the second equation eliminates the x term, giving us 0.16y = 0.64. Dividing both sides by 0.16, we find that y = 4.

Substituting this value back into the first equation, we can solve for x: x + 4 = 12, x = 8.

Therefore, Maria bought 8 daisies and 4 tulips in the bouquet.

There are 50 total patrons. 16 like lattes, 12 like espressos, and 8 like both drinks.

Add the two totals for patrons that like either lattes or espressos:

8 patrons like both drinks, so subtract this from the amount of patrons that like either drink:

[tex] 28 - 8 = 20 [/tex]

20 patrons like at least one drink.

Subtract the amount of patrons that like a drink from the total amount of patrons:

[tex] 50 - 20 = \boxed{30} [/tex]

30 patrons like neither drink.

First we need to find the number of Patrons who like either Latte or Espresso.

n(L) = 16
n(E) = 12
n(L and E) = 8

n(L or E) = n(L) + n(E) - n(L and E)

n(L or E) = 16 + 12 - 8 = 20

Thus 20 like Either of the coffee drinks.

The patrons don't like either of the drinks will be = 50 - 20 = 30

How does tan 135 degrees compare to tan -135 degrees

Answers

Evaluating the tangent function for the two values we obtain the following:
tan 135=tan(135+180)=tan 315=-1

next:
tan -135=tan(180-135)=tan 45=1
thus comparing the two we see that tan 135 is negative while tan -135 is positive

Tan(135°) is -1 because it lies in the second quadrant with sine positive and cosine negative, whereas tan(-135°) is 1 as it falls in the third quadrant with both sine and cosine negative. Thus, tan(135°) = -1 and tan(-135°) = 1.

1.  The tangent of an angle is defined as the ratio of the sine to the cosine of that angle: tan(θ) = sin(θ) / cos(θ). The tangent function is also periodic with a period of 180 degrees, meaning tan(θ) = tan(θ + 180°).

2. First, let’s find the value of tan(135°). Since 135° is in the second quadrant where sine is positive and cosine is negative:

sin(135°) = sin(180° - 45°) = sin(45°) = √2/2cos(135°) = cos(180° - 45°) = -cos(45°) = -√2/2

3. Therefore, tan(135°) = (√2/2) / (-√2/2) = -1.

4. Next, we consider tan(-135°). Since -135° is in the third quadrant where both sine and cosine are negative:

sin(-135°) = -sin(135°) = -√2/2cos(-135°) = cos(225°) = -√2/2

5. So, tan(-135°) = (-√2/2) / (-√2/2) = 1.

In summary, tan(135°) = -1 and tan(-135°) = 1.
