A satellite is 6,000 miles from the horizon of Earth. Earth’s radius is about 4,000 miles. Find the approximate distance the satellite is from the point directly below it on Earth’s surface. The diagram is not to scale.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  3211 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle can be used to model the geometry of the problem. One leg of it is the radius of the Earth. The leg at right angles to that is the satellite-to-horizon distance of 6000 miles. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance from the satellite to the center of the Earth, so the question will be answered by subtracting the Earth radius from that.

The Pythagorean theorem relates the various distances. Refer to the attachment.

  AB² = AD² +BD²

  (BC +4000)² = 4000² +6000² . . . . . . . . . . . . use given values

  BC +4000 = 1000√(4² +6²) = 2000√13 . . . . take the square root

  BC = 2000(√13 -2) . . . . . subtract 4000

  BC ≈ 3211.1

The satellite is about 3211 miles from the point directly below it.

What is the area of this figure?

Answers

Problem setup:

The shape is way too complicated by itself, so I cut the shape into 5 different parts.

Please refer to the attached image or my answer will not make much sense.

Shape 1:

This is a triangle. The base is 3 and the height is 2. Thus, the area is:

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}*3*2[/tex]

[tex]=3[/tex]

Shape 1 has an area of 3 square units.

Shape 2:

This shape is also a triangle. The base is 4 and the height is 2. Thus, the area is:

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}*4*2[/tex]

[tex]=4[/tex]

Shape 2 has an area of 4 square units.

Shape 3:

This a unit square (the side lengths are 1).

Thus, Shape 3 has an area of 1 square unit.

Shape 4:

This shape is a rectangle. The base is 3 and the height is 4. Thus, the area is:

[tex]A=3*4[/tex]

[tex]=12[/tex]

Shape 4 has an area of 12 square units.

Shape 5:

This shape is also a rectangle. The base is 4 and the height is 2. Thus, the area is:

[tex]A=4*2[/tex]

[tex]=8[/tex]

Shape 5 has an area of 8 square units.

Total shape:

Add the areas of all 5 shapes to find the area of the shaded figure.

[tex]A=3+4+1+12+8[/tex]

[tex]=26[/tex]

The figure has a total area of 26 square units.

Side notes:

There is a way to solve this problem by only dividing this into only 3 different shapes, can you figure it out?

The sum of three consecutive integers is -234 find the integers​

Answers

Answer:

-77, -78, -79

Step-by-step explanation:

let one of the integers be x

since the integers are consecutive, the other 2 integers must be

(x+1) and (x+2)

given that sum of the integers is -234,

x + (x+1) + (x+2) = -234

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = -234

3x + 3 = -234   (subtract 3 from both sides)

3x = -234-3

3x = -237  (divide both sides by 3)

x = -237 / 3

x = -79  (answer)

hence the other two numbers are

(x + 1) = -79 + 1 = -78 (answer)

and

(x+2) = -79 + 2 = -77 (answer)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first integer is 'x', and by adding 1 in it we get the second integer that is 'x+1', and for third integer we need to add 1 in the previous integer i.e. is 'x+1' we get 'x+2'. Now all three integers we have are

x,x+1 and x+2.

since sum or add all three integer we get -234. so

x+x+1+x+2=-234

x+x+x=3x, and 1+2=3

3x+3=-234

3x=-234-3

3x=-237

x=-237/3

now the first integer is -237/3 or -79,

second integer is -78 and third integer is -77.

for verification add all three to get -234.

-79-78-77=-234. hence proved.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]5x - 30[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify

[tex]5(x - 6)[/tex]

We use the distributive property of real numbers which says that:

[tex]a(b + c) = ab + ac[/tex]

We apply the distributive property to get;

[tex]5(x - 6) = 5 \times x - 5 \times 6[/tex]

This implies that:

[tex]5(x - 6) = 5 x - 30[/tex]

Therefore the correct answer is 5x-30

If 12 and 20 each divide K without a remainder, what is the value of K?

Answers

Factors of 12 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

Factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

In both lists of factors, 4 is in common. Therefore, the value of K is 4 because it can divide into both 12 and 20 without a remainder. 2 is also another possible value of K.

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

1*12=12   1*20=20

2*6=12   2*10=20

3*4=12   4*5=20

both have a similar multiple of 4, so k must be 4.

The sum of two numbers is 98. If four times the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number, the result is 18. Find the two numbers,
The larger number is
The smaller number is

Answers

Hey there!

Let's make a system of equations using x and y to find the two numbers.X is smaller and y will be larger.

x+y=98

y-4x=18

Now, let's solve the bottom equation for y so we can use substitution.

y=18+4x

Now we plug this into the first equation.

x+18+4x=98

5x+18=98

5x=80

x=16

Now, we plug this into the first equation to find y.

y=82.

So, the larger number is 82 and the smaller number is 16.

How to solve -x+3y=4 ,3x+2y=-7

Answers

Answer:

x = -29/11 , y = 5/11

Step-by-step explanation:

-x+3y=4 ,..........(1)

3x+2y=-7 ............(2)

Solve simultaneously using elimination method

Multiply equation 1 by 3

It gives

-3x + 9y = 12

3x + 2y = -7..........(2) , add both equations

--------------------------

11y = 5

Divide both sides by 11

y = 5/11

Put value of y into equation (2)

3x +2y = -7

3x + 2(5/11) = -7

3x + 10/11 = '-7

Subtract 10/11 from both sides

3x +10/11 - 10/11 = -7  - 10/11

3x = -87/11

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = -87/11 ÷ 3

x = - 87/11 × 1/3

x = -29/11

Therefore x = -29/11 , y = 5/11

Round 721295.198715 to the nearest ten.

Answers

Final answer:

To round 721295.198715 to the nearest ten, we increase the tens place from 9 to 0 due to the ones place being 5, resulting in 721300.

Explanation:

To round the number 721295.198715 to the nearest ten, we should look at the digit in the ones place, which is 5. Since the ones digit is 5 or greater, we need to round up the tens place.

Therefore, the tens digit increases by one from 9 to 0, and all digits to the right of the tens place become zero.

Thus, 721295 rounds up to 721300 when rounded to the nearest ten.

Note that we ignore the decimal and its subsequent numbers because they do not influence the rounding of a number to the nearest ten.

PLEASE HELP - Part A Find the value of x in the following figure: Part B Find the measure of ACD

Step-by-step explanation: you need to turn the percent to decimal so you move the decimal points to places to the right so the percent now is 0.25 so then you do 38.47 *0.25 =9.62 so then you add 9.62 +38.47 =48.09

Answer:

$9.62

Step-by-step explanation:

total cost= $38.47

tip            = 25% = [tex]\frac{25}{100}[/tex]

=> tip       = [tex]\frac{25}{100}[/tex] * $38.47

What is the positive solution to the equation 2x^2+25=73

Answers

Answer: I think it's 0.886  or its 3.386

Step-by-step explanation:

Because  1. x =(5-√73)/4=-0.886and the other one is 2. x =(5+√73)/4= 3.386

Final answer:

The positive solution to the equation 2x² + 25 = 73 is x = √24, which is approximately 4.9.

Explanation:

The student is asking for the positive solution to the equation 2x² + 25 = 73. To solve this, we first isolate the quadratic term by subtracting 25 from both sides of the equation, resulting in 2x² = 48. Then, we divide both sides by 2, simplifying to x² = 24. Taking the square root of both sides gives us two solutions, x = √24 and x = -√24. Since we're seeking the positive solution, we take the positive square root, which yields x = √24 or about 4.9.

A) 18;22 B)27;33 C)3;11 3 D)48;50

Answers

Length of other two sides is 27:33

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , The sides of a triangle are in ratio 9:11:13.The largest side of a triangle like this is 39. Let's calculate other two sides of the second triangle:

[tex]9:11:13[/tex] is the ratio  ,largest ratio value is 13 which represents largest side ratio whose length is 39 :

⇒ [tex]13x = 39\\[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x = \frac{39}{13}\\[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x = 3[/tex]

Now, other two sides are 9 x and 11 x

i.e. [tex]9x = 9(3) = 27[/tex]

 [tex]11x = 11(3) = 33[/tex]

So, lengths of all the three sides are 27:33:39 . And, Length of other two sides is 27:33`

Find the slope of the line that contains the points (1,-1) and (-2,8)

Answers

The formula for slope is (y-y1)/(x-x1).
1 = x
-1 = y
-2 = x2
8 = y2

You would plug those into the formula: (-1-(-2))/(-1-8) and that would equal to: 1/(-9).

The slope of the line that contains the points (1,-1) and (-2,8) is calculated using the change in y-values over the change in x-values, which results in a slope of -3.

To find the slope of the line that contains the points (1,-1) and (-2,8), we use the formula:

slope (m) = (Change in y) / (Change in x) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Substitute the given points into the formula:

m = (8 - (-1)) / (-2 - 1)
= (8 + 1) / (-2 - 1)
= 9 / (-3)
= -3

So, the slope of the line is -3.
