A sailboat is 175 feet from the base of a lighthouse. If the angle of elevation to the top of the lighthouse is 23°, find the height of the lighthouse, to the nearest hundredth of a foot.

9514 1404 393

  74.28 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of the angle is the ratio of opposite side (lighthouse height) to adjacent side (distance from lighthouse).

  tan(23°) = height/(175 ft)

  height = (175 ft)·tan(23°) ≈ 74.28 ft

answer: expected value of x = 1.0

step-by-step explanation:

p(x=0) = 0.25

p(x=1) = 0.50

p(x=2) = 0.25

expected value for x = 0×0.25 + 1×0.5 + 2×0.25 = 1.0
