Imagine the center of the Singapore Flyer ferris wheel is located at (0, 0) on a coordinate grid, and the radius lies on the x-a

xis. Write an equation of a circle for your ferris wheel, and sketch an image of what your ferris wheel would look like on the grid. Now graph a circle that is similar to the Ferris Wheel. Discuss the transformations needed to show that both circles on your graph are similar.

The equation of the Ferris wheel is x² + y² = 25, and the transformation that shows that the circles are similar is the dilation transformation

<h3>How to determine the equation of the Ferris wheel?</h3>

From the question, we have the following parameters:

Center (a,b) = (0,0)

Radius, r = 5

The equation of a circle is represented as:

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²

So, we have:

(x - 0)² + (y - 0)² = 5²

Evaluate

x² + y² = 25

Hence, the equation of the Ferris wheel is x² + y² = 25

See attachment for the image of the Ferris wheel

Transformation to a similar circle

Assume that the similar circle has the following parameters:

Center (a,b) = (0,0)

Radius, r = 10

The equation of the circle would be:

(x - 0)² + (y - 0)² = 10²

Evaluate

x² + y² = 100

Since both circles have the same center, the transformation that shows that they are similar is the dilation transformation

Find, correct to the nearest degree, the three angles of the triangle with the given vertices. A(1, 0, −1), B(4, −3, 0), C(1
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Angle at vertex  A : 59.2° B: 61.7° C : 59.1°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First find the length of the vectors  

AB = B-A = (4-1, 3-0, 0-1) = (3, 3, -1)

AC = C-A = (1-1, 4-0, 3-1) = (0, 4, 2)

BC = C-B = (1-4, 4-3, 3-0) = (-3, 1, 3)

2. Find magnitude of the vectors

|AB| = √(3^2+3^2+〖(-1)〗^2 )=√19  

|AC| = √(0^2+4^2+2^2 )=2√5

|BC| = √(〖(-3)〗^2+1^2+3^2 )=√19

3. Find the angles between them

cos θ = (a.b)/(|a||b|) -----> θ = arc cos ((a.b)/(|a||b|))

AB, AC : θ =arc cos (AB.AC)/(|AB||AC|) = arc cos ( (3.0+3.4+ -1.2)/(√19  x 2√5)=  10/(2√95) ) =59.136, which is approximately 59.14°

AB, BC : θ =arc cos (AB.BC)/(|AB||BC|) = arc cos( (3.-3+3.1+ -1.3)/(√19  x √19)=  (-9)/19 ) = 118.27°

Because of the direction of BC is pointing relative to AB this is the angle outside the triangle, and we should find the supplementary angle.

180-118.27 = 61.73°

If we used –(BC) = CB in the formula (just negate the numerator) we would have gotten the correct angle on first try.

The 3rd angle should be what’s left after subtracting from 180°;

180-61.73-59.14 = 59.13 °

You can confirm using the formula again :

AC, BC : θ =arc cos (AC.BC)/(|AC||BC|) = arc cos( (0.-3+4.1+ 2.3)/(√19  x 2√5)=  10/(2√95) = 59.13°

Rounding everything up so they add up to 180 degrees we have Angle at vertex  A : 59.2° B: 61.7° C : 59.1°

Of the 100 entries in a costume contest, 39 entrants were dressed as heroes and 45 entrants were wearing a mask. If 21 entrants
ehidna [41]

Correct question with correct options has been attached

Answer:

37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C represent those dressed as heroes and let B represent those wearing mask

Thus;

n(C) = 39

n(D) = 45

We are told that 21 entrants were dressed as heroes wearing a mask.

Thus; n(C n D) = 21

We are also told that there were a total of 100 entries.

Thus, n(T) = 100

Now, number of entrants neither dressed as heroes nor wearing a mask is given by;

n(T) - n(C u D)

n(C u D) = n(C) + n(D) - n(C n D)

n(C u D) = 39 + 45 - 21

n(C u D) = 63

Thus;number of entrants neither dressed as heroes nor wearing a mask is: 100 - 63 = 37
