The ladder length represents the hypotenuse of a right triangle with a base of 9 and an unknown height (h). We can find that height by using the Pythagorean theorem.
9² + h² = 15²
81 + h² = 225
h² = 225 - 81 = 144
h = √144 = 12
12 ft + 6 ft = 18 ft
So, the ladder extends 12 feet up the side of the building. That is the height of the roof. The top of the flagpole is 6 feet above that, so the top of the flagpole is 18ft

An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. the seat was designed for pilots weighing between 120 lb and 161 lb. the new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 125 lb and a standard deviation of 28.1 lb. a)if a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his weight is between 120 lb and 161 lb.the probability is approximately? b. if 36 different pilots are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is between 120 lb and 161 lb. the probability is approximately? c. when redesigning the ejection seat, which probability is more relevant? . part (b) because the seat performance for a single pilot is more important. b. part (b) because the seat performance for a sample of pilots is more important. c. part (a) because the seat performance for a sample of pilots is more important. d. part (a) because the seat performance for a single pilot is more important.
