The dot plots below show the test scores of some mathematics students and some science students: Two dot plots are shown one below the other. The top and the bottom plots have the title Mathematics Students and Science Students respectively. Below the line for each dot plot is written Mark. The markings on each line are from 30 to 50 at intervals of 1. For the top plot there are two dots each for 34 and 40 and 1 dot each for 32, 33, 35, 37, and 39. For the bottom plot there are 2 dots each for 43, 46 and 49 and 1 dot each for 41, 42, and 47. Based on visual inspection of the dot plots, which group of students appears to have the larger average score? The mathematics students The science students Both groups are similar. Not enough information is available to draw a conclusion.

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
