Three ships, A, B, and C, are anchored in the atlantic ocean. The distance from A to B is 36.318 miles, from B to C is 37.674 mi

les, and from C to A is 11.164 miles. Find the angle measurements of the triangle formed by the three ships.

Let's sketch the triangle.

The sides are a= 37.674 miles

b= 11.164 miles

c= 36.318 miles

We'll apply the cosine rule for angle calculations

(since the sine law cannot be employed without knowing any angle measurements).

The cosine law is given by

$c^{2} = a^{2} +b^{2} -2ab cos C$

Substituting the values results in

$(36.318)^{2} = (37.674)^{2} + (11.164)^{2} - 2(37.674)(11.164). Cos C$

$1318.997 = 1419.33 + 124.634 - 841.184. Cos C$

$1318.997 = 1543.964 - 841.184. Cos C$

$841.184. Cos C = 1543.964-1318.997$

$841.184. Cos C = 224.967$

$Cos C = \frac{224.967}{841.184}$

$cos C = 0.267$

C = 74.48°

We can find angle A using the sine law

$\frac{a}{SinA} = \frac{c}{Sin C}$

$\frac{37.674}{Sin A} = \frac{36.318}{Sin 74.48}$

$Sin A = \frac{37.674. sin 74.48}{36.318}$

$Sin A = \frac{37.674 X 0.963}{36.318}$

$Sin A = 0.998$

A= $sin^{-1} (0.998)$

A = 87.38°

The third angle B can be determined by calculating 180° minus the sum of angles A and C

$B = 180-(74.48 + 87.38)$

B = 180 - 161.86

B = 18.14°

Thus, we have calculated all three angles (as shown in the attached figure).

zzz [12365]

To determine the time interval δt, we must subtract the starting time from the ending time. In this scenario, the first value in the coordinates signifies time:

δt=50 - 0
δt= 50s

The time interval is 50s.

Five thousand tickets are sold at $1 each for a charity raffle. Tickets are to be drawn at random and monetary prizes awarded a

babunello [11817]

Response:

the expected value of this raffle if you purchase 1 ticket = -0.65

Breakdown of the calculation:

Details:

5,000 tickets are sold at $1 each for a charitable raffle

Winners will be chosen at random with cash prizes as follows: 1 prize of $500, 3 prizes of $300, 5 prizes of $50, and 20 prizes of $5.

Therefore, the value and its respective probability can be calculated as follows:

Value Probability

$500 - $1 = $499 1/5000

$300 - $1 = $299 3/5000

$50 - $1 = $49 5/5000

$5 - $1 = $4 20/5000

-$1 1 - 29/5000 = 4971/5000

The expected value of the raffle when buying 1 ticket is computed as follows:

$E(x) = \sum x * P(x)$

$E(x) = (499 * \dfrac{1}{5000} + 299 *\dfrac{3}{5000} + 49 *\dfrac{5}{5000} + 4 * \dfrac{20}{5000} + (-1 * \dfrac{4971}{5000} ))$

$E(x) = (0.0998 + 0.1794+0.049 + 0.016 + (-0.9942 ))$

$E(x) = (0.3442 -0.9942 )$

$\mathbf{E(x) = -0.65}$

So, the expected value of this raffle when one ticket is purchased = -0.65

You have the opportunity to lease space for your business. The property owner has proposed a four-year lease with a rent of $29,

Inessa [12570]

$29,580. Breaking it down: 29000/4 equals 7250. So, 7250 plus 2% of 7250 calculates as follows: 7250 + (2/100) * 7250 gives us 7250 + 145, totaling $7395 with four payments resulting in $29,580.

The ratio of the loudness of lala's earphones to the loudness of polina's earphones to the loudness of goffy's earphones is 6:5:

PIT_PIT [12445]

Let:
Lala represented as l
Polina represented as P
Goffy represented as G
The ratio for them is 6:5:3
Given that Polina's loudness measures 420 decibels, the total loudness can be computed as follows:
Total ratio=6+5+3=14
Thus, total loudness will be:
14/5×420
=1,176 decibels
