Answer:\frac{5}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation

there are 5 apples together with 7 peaches, with 4 of the apples and 2 of the peaches being rotten

this leaves us with 1 apple and 5 fresh peaches

Thus, the probability of selecting fresh fruit is =\frac{6}{12}

and the probability of selecting an apple is =\frac{5}{12}

The combined probability is =\frac{1}{12}

Thus, the probability of selecting either a fresh piece of fruit or an apple is=\frac{6}{12}+\frac{5}{12}-\frac{1}{12}

=\frac{5}{6}

A person is standing 50 ft from a statue. The person looks up at an angle of elevation of 8o when staring at the top of the stat
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

h=50.25\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Right Triangles

In a right triangle, one angle measures 90°. This forms a hypotenuse, which is the longest side, alongside two short sides known as legs. These elements are connected to Pythagoras's theorem, and the fundamental trigonometric relationships also apply, including

\displaystyle tan\alpha=\frac{a}{c}

where a represents the leg opposite \alpha and c denotes the adjacent leg.

In this scenario, a statue is observed by a person positioned 50 ft away. The observer looks upwards at an elevation angle of 8° towards the statue's top and then downwards at a 14° angle toward the statue's base. The illustration below depicts the situation.

The statue's height is expressed as h=a+b, where

a=50tan8^o

b=50tan14^o

Therefore,

h=50tan8^o+50tan14^o

h=50(tan8^o+tan14^o)

\boxed{h=50.25\ ft}

l = 900 cm
π ≈ 3.1415, we will utilize the approximate value of 3
