NGC is a hot air balloon in the sky from her spot on the ground. The angle of elevation from Angie to the balloon is 40°. If she steps back 200 feet, the new angle of elevation is 10°. If Angie is 5.5 feet tall, how far off the ground is a hot air balloon?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance from hot air balloon to the ground  [tex]AC=50.1457 ft[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Labelled diagram of given scenario is shown below.

Given that,

An angle of elevation of Hot air balloon by Angie is [tex]40[/tex]°.

When she  stepped back [tex]200 ft[/tex] then angle of elevation was [tex]10[/tex]°.

Height of Angie is  [tex]5.5 ft[/tex].

To find: How far off the ground is a hot air balloon.

So, from figure

Height of Angie [tex](BC) = 5.5ft[/tex]

  In triangle Δ[tex]ABD[/tex],

         ⇒                    [tex]tan {40\si {\degree}} = \frac{AB}{BD}[/tex]

         ⇒                      [tex]AB = tan (40) \times BD[/tex]          ....................(1)

Now, In triangle Δ[tex]ABE[/tex]

         ⇒                  [tex]tan (10)= \frac{AB}{200+BD}[/tex]

         ⇒                 [tex]AB = tan(10)\times (200+BD)[/tex]

Here, substituting the value [tex]AB[/tex] from Equation (1) we get,

                        [tex]tan(10)\times (200+BD)= tan(40)\times BD[/tex]

                      [tex]tan(10)\times 200+tan(10)\times BD= tan(40)\times BD[/tex]

        ⇒         [tex]BD\times (tan(40)-tan(10))=tan(10)\times 20[/tex]        

        ⇒                   [tex]BD\times 0.6628 = 35.2654[/tex]

        ⇒                       [tex]BD = \frac{35.2654}{0.6628} =53.2067 ft[/tex]        

Now, finding the value of [tex]AB[/tex] from equation (1)

                                 [tex]AB= tan(40)\times 53.2067=0.8391\times 53.2067[/tex]

                                 [tex]AB=44.6457 ft[/tex]              

Therefore Length of [tex]AC= AB+BC[/tex] = [tex](44.6457 + 5.5) ft[/tex]

                                  [tex]AC=50.1457 ft[/tex].

Hence,

The distance from hot air balloon to the ground  [tex]AC=50.1457 ft[/tex].

Mrs. Wilton is planning a rectangular flower box for her front window.

Answers

There are 4 different flower boxes with different-size bases that can hold exactly 16 cubic feet of soil when using whole-number dimensions. These consist of dimension combinations of 1x1x16, 1x2x8, 1x4x4, and 2x2x4 feet.

Mrs. Wilton is planning a rectangular flower box that should have a volume of 16 cubic feet. To find how many flower boxes with different-size bases can hold exactly 16 cubic feet of soil, we need to find all the possible combinations of whole-number dimensions (length, width, and height) that when multiplied together equal 16 cubic feet. We must remember that volume is calculated as Length x Width x Height. Since 16 is the volume in cubic feet, we look for whole-number factors of 16.

Here are the possible whole-number dimension sets (in feet) for a volume of 16 cubic feet:

1 x 1 x 16 (Height can be 1, 16, or any factor of 16)

1 x 2 x 8 (Height can be 2, 8, or any factor of 16)

1 x 4 x 4 (Height can be 4 or any factor of 16)

2 x 2 x 4 (These dimensions are interchangeable)

Each of these dimensions gives a different base size for the flower box, and all ensure the volume is 16 cubic feet. Thus, there are 4 different flower boxes with different-size bases that will hold exactly 16 cubic feet of soil.

where A is the amplitude, and the period is given by:

[tex]T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}[/tex]

The image of a function is the available values of the function f(x) in the domain of f(x). For sinusoidal function the image of f(x) is determined with the aid of the amplitude.  For example, in the case of (1), f(x) varies from -A to A.

A. The middle 95% of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix boxes contain between _____ and ________ounces of cereal

Answer:

Therefore the middle 95% of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix boxes contain between _9.994____ and _10.0062_______ounces of cereal

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires us to construct the 95% confidence interval of the normal distribution as follows;

The mean, μ = 10

The sample standard deviation, σ = 0.1

Assumption

Number of boxes, n = 1000

The formula for confidence interval is as follows;

[tex]CI= \mu \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Where, z at 95% confidence level is given as ±1.96

Plugging in the values, we have;

[tex]CI=10 \pm 1.96 \times \frac{0.1}{\sqrt{1000}}[/tex]

Therefore the middle 95% of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix boxes contain between _9.994____ and _10.0062_______ounces of cereal.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Gabriella and her children went into a grocery store and where they sell apples for $1 each and mangos for $0.50 each. Gabriella has $15 to spend and must buy at least 19 apples and mangos altogether. If Gabriella decided to buy 13 mangos, determine the maximum number of apples that she could buy.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of apples that she wants to buy.

The grocery store sells apples for $1 each and mangos for $0.50 each.

If Gabriella decided to buy 13 mangos, it means that the cost of buying x apples and 13 mangoes is expressed as

x + 13 × 0.5 = x + 6.5

If she buy at least 19 apples, it means that

x + 13 ≥ 19

x ≥ 19 - 13

x ≥ 6

Gabriella has $15 to spend. It means that

x + 6.5 ≤ 15

x ≤ 15 - 6.5

x ≤ 8.5

Therefore, the maximum number of apples that she can buy is 8

Final answer:

After purchasing 13 mangos, Gabriella can spend the remaining $8.50 on apples, which allows her to buy a maximum of 8 apples while also meeting the minimum requirement of 19 fruits in total.

Explanation:

If Gabriella decided to buy 13 mangos at $0.50 each, she would spend $6.50 on mangos. She has $15 to spend, so after buying the mangos, she would have $15 - $6.50 = $8.50 left. Since apples cost $1 each, Gabriella could buy a maximum of $8.50/ $1 per apple = 8 apples. However, she must buy at least 19 apples and mangos altogether. Since she has already bought 13 mangos, she would need to buy 19 - 13 = 6 apples to meet the minimum requirement. Therefore, the maximum number of apples she can buy is 8, which also satisfies the minimum quantity of fruit required.

A vehicle factory manufactures cars. The unit cost C (the cost in dollars to make each car) depends on the number of cars made. If x cars are made, then the unit cost is given by the function C (x) = 0.5x^2-130x+17,555. What is the minimum unit cost?

Answers

Final answer:

The minimum unit cost to manufacture a car for the given quadratic cost function C(x) = 0.5x^2 - 130x + 17,555 is found by using the vertex formula. The x-coordinate of the vertex is -(-130)/(2*0.5) = 130, which yields the minimum unit cost of $9,105 when substituted back into the function.

Explanation:

To find the minimum unit cost for manufacturing cars in the given scenario, we need to analyze the cost function C(x) = 0.5x2 - 130x + 17,555. This is a quadratic function, which is parabolic in shape, generally either opening upwards or downwards. In this case, we have a positive coefficient for the x2 term, which means the parabola opens upwards and the vertex of this parabola will give us the minimum point or the minimum cost for producing cars.

The vertex of a quadratic function expressed in the form ax2 + bx + c can be found using the formula -b/(2a) for the x-coordinate of the vertex. In this case, a = 0.5, b = -130, so the x-coordinate of the vertex is -(-130)/(2*0.5) = 130. Plugging this value into the original function will give us the minimum unit cost C(130).

The calculation is as follows:

C(130) = 0.5 * (130)2 - 130 * (130) + 17,555

C(130) = 0.5 * 16,900 - 16,900 + 17,555

C(130) = 8,450 - 16,900 + 17,555

C(130) = 9,105

Therefore, the minimum unit cost to manufacture a car in this scenario is $9,105.

If the experiment is repeated with 50 spins, the prediction for the number of spins that will land on green is 5

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The table of values

Calculate the total number of spins

So, we have

Total spins = 5  + 3 + 1 + 1

Total spins = 10

We have that

The frequency of landing on green is 1

The experimental probability of landing on green is then represented as

[tex]\[ \text{Probability of green} = \frac{1}{10} \][/tex]

Using the experimental probability to predict the number of spins that will land on green in 50 spins, we have

Predicted number of green spins = [tex]\frac{1}{10} \times 50 = 5[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Out of 240,000 feet² of the field 62,800 feet² was being watered.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a figure with 32 circles and diameter of each circle is 50 feet. We have to find how much area is being watered. Assuming that each circle represents the Area of the field which is being watered.

We can find the area of one circle and multiply that by 32 to find the area of all 32 circles. This will give us the area of the field that is being watered.

Since, radius is half of the diameter, the radius of each circle will be r = 25 feet.

Area of a circle is calculated as:

Area = πr²

Substituting the value of r = 25 and π = 3.14, we get:

Area of one circle = 3.14 x (25)² = 1962.5 feet²

Since area of 1 circle is 1962.5 feet² , area of 32 circles will be = 32 x 1962.5 = 62,800 feet²

The field is rectangular in shape with length = 600 feet and width = 400 feet.

Area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width. So area of the entire field will be:

Area of field = 600 x 400 = 240,000 feet²

This means, out of 240,000 feet² of the field 62,800 feet² was being watered.

kahn answer

Final answer:

To model the locust population, we can use an exponential growth function. The initial population is given as 7600, and it increases by a factor of 555 every 222222 days. The function is L(t) = 7600 * 555^(t/222222).

Explanation:

To model the locust population, we can use an exponential growth function. The initial population is given as 7600. The population increases by a factor of 555 every 222222 days. Let's denote the time since the first day of spring as t. The function can be written as:

L(t) = 7600 * 555^(t/222222)

For example, if we want to find the locust population after 1 year (365 days), we can substitute t = 365 into the function:

L(365) = 7600 * 555^(365/222222)

By evaluating this expression, we can determine the locust population at any given time since the first day of spring.

You donate 8 baseballs to a local baseball team. Your uncle donates 12 baseballs. If a total of 50 baseballs are donated, what is the probability that the first pitch of the season uses one of your baseballs or one of your uncle’s baseballs?

Answers

The required probability that the first pitch of the season uses one of your baseballs or one of your uncle's baseballs is 2/5.

What is probability?

Probability can be defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of events.

There are 20 baseballs donated between you and your uncle and a total of 50 baseballs, so the probability that the first pitch of the season uses one of your baseballs or one of your uncle's baseballs is:

P(your baseball or uncle's baseball) = (number of your baseballs + number of uncle's baseballs) / total number of baseballs

= (8 + 12) / 50

= 20/50

= 2/5

Therefore, the probability that the first pitch of the season uses one of your baseballs or one of your uncle's baseballs is 2/5.

The probability that the first pitch of the season uses one of the baseballs donated by the student or their uncle is 2/5 or 40%.

To calculate the probability that the first pitch of the season uses one of your baseballs or one of your uncle's, we first need to figure out the total number of baseballs donated by you and your uncle. You donated 8 baseballs and your uncle donated 12 baseballs. Hence, together you both donated 8 + 12 = 20 baseballs.

Since there are a total of 50 baseballs donated, we can now calculate the probability. The probability of picking either one of your baseballs or one of uncle's baseballs is the total number of your combined baseballs divided by the overall total number of baseballs, which is 20/50. This can be simplified to 2/5 or 40%.

Therefore, the probability that the first pitch of the season uses one of the baseballs donated by you or your uncle is 2/5.

The original price of the game was £18. This is derived by understanding a 1/2 increase equates to a 50% increase, thus making £27 150% of the original price. To get the original price, divide £27 by 1.5.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to understand that an increase of 1/2 equals a 50% increase. If the game price were £27 after increasing by 50%, that means £27 represents the original price plus an additional half (50%) of the original price, in other words, it represents 150% of the original price. We can set up the equation like this:

Original Price(1.5) = £27

To solve for the original price, we divide £27 by 1.5, resulting in £18.

So, the original price of the game was £18.

Becky moved off of the porch slowly, backing through the door and into the house. She slammed the sliding glass door shut and stood for a moment, relieved to have something solid between her and the snake on the porch.The glass was cool under her hands despite her pounding heart. She tried to slow her breathing. She was safe, at last, inside. Or was she? How had that snake gotten into the screened-in and walled-up back porch. If it could get in there, it's possible it could get inside where she was as well.Becky wasn't someone who was normally skittish about wild things. She'd handled snakes before, picked up lizards many times, caught frogs in the garage and let them go. But snakes seemed to always catch her off guard. They would turn up when least expected. She would see them out of the corner of her eye and just the surprise of it would make her jump; her adrenalin would pump, her heart would thump, and her panic would take over.What was she going to do? She couldn't just stand there waiting for the snake to decide to leave. What if it were venomous? It didn't look like a viper, but it could be. She would need to get out there soon to water the plants."What this requires is some advanced planning," she said out loud to her cat, Louie. "And, I will probably have to go 'once more into the fray' kitty," she said, looking in the cat's direction for emphasis."First things first, though," she said. The cat meowed back. It often did that, having become used to being talked to. "Let's look that fellow up," Becky said walking to her bookshelf."Let's see, snakes," she said, thumbing through her reptile and amphibian identification book. "It's brown and gray, with some black. With a pattern that looks ... there it is," she said thumping the page so hard that Louie jumped. "Not venomous," she said, triumphantly."It's an oak snake, Louie," she returned the book and strode over to her closet. "Not venomous, but I am still not taking chances," she said.She reached into the closet and pulled out her heaviest jacket. It was lined and stuffed thick with lots of padding. Then she found her mittens and a pair of rubber boots. She knew even non-venomous snakes would sometimes threaten to strike when scared. "And that threat would work on me," Becky said aloud again, though Louie had no idea what she was talking about."It's 90 degrees outside, Louie," she said, "so get the iced lemonade ready for when I return."It wasn't much of a plan, but it was the best she could come up with. With her armor on, she was already sweating when she slowly pushed open the sliding glass door and stepped back on to the porch.She was pretty sure the snake would slither away from her presence. She propped open the outside door, and hoped she could shoo the snake in that direction.Sweat dampened her arms and collected on her face. She spread her arms out, and took a few steps toward the snake. There was so much for it to hide beneath. Becky regretted the rocking chairs and all the plant stands between where the snake was in the corner and the door to the outside.At first it seemed like the snake was just going to remain where it was, flicking its tongue every now and then. Becky waved her arms, lunged in its direction, and stomped her feet. It sat there, coiled in the corner, as if perfectly happy to remain there. In a fit of desperation, she picked up one side of the rocking chair the snake was under and let it drop. The snake jumped, raised its head like it was going to strike, and then stayed right where it was."Snake," Becky said, "This is not how it works. You have got to go." The snake moved its head back and forth, swaying a bit, and that gave Becky an idea.She had read somewhere that snakes can "hear" thanks to the ability to process vibrations through the bone in their jaw. This awareness of vibrations in the ground was one reason it was very hard to sneak up on snakes. She quickly realized that getting the snake out was going to be a lot easier than she had thought.Becky turned on the radio she kept on the porch and lowered it to the ground, pointing in the snake's direction. She adjusted the controls so that the bass was as high as it could go. Then, she cranked up the volume. She envisioned the snake swaying to the sounds of "Dancing Queen," by Abba, and then leaving the porch and going far, far away.Coming back into the house, she began peeling off the now damp armaments she had put on earlier. "Louie, there is more than one way to skin a snake," she said laughing. She watched as the snake uncoiled and moved cautiously in the direction of the door. Bending down to pick up Louie, Becky sighed and stroked his head. "'Cause no one ever wants to skin a cat, sweetie."
