The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in North Carolina was constructed in 1802 and stands 210 feet tall. It is the tallest brick lightho

use in the United States and has a beacon with a 36-inch diameter that can be seen for 20 miles. What formula can you use to calculate the area of the beacon?

Lots of red herrings in this question! The beacon is circular, so you need to find the area of a circle with a diameter of 36 inches.

Area of a circle = pi x radius^2

remember radius is half the diameter!

Answer:

A = \pi r^{2}

Area of the beacon is 1,017.88 in^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.

Based on the information given in the question. We can only assume that the best formula that we can use to calculate the area of the beacon is the formula for the Area of a Circle. The Area of a Circle is shown in the picture attached below.

We are given the diameter of the beacon but we need the radius which is <u>half of the diameter</u>.

r = 36 / 2

r = 18inch

Now that we have the radius we can plug it into the formula and solve for the Area

A = \pi r^{2}

A = \pi 18^{2}

A = \pi 324

A = 1,017.88

Finally, we can see that the Area of the beacon is 1,017.88 in^{2}

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

B is the midpoint of AC and E' is the midpoint of BD. If A(-9,-4), C(-1, 6), and E(-4,-3), find the coordinates of D.
Ipatiy [6.2K]
The coordinates for D are (-4, -7)

First we must locate point B as it is vital to finding the midpoint of BD. To do this, we take the average of the endpoints AC since B is its midpoint. 

x values = -9 + 1 = -8
Then divide by 2 for the average -8/2 = -4

y values = -4 + 6 = 2
Then divide by 2 for the average 2/2 = 1

Therefore B must be (-4, 1)

Now we know the values of E must be the average of B and D. So we can write equations for each coordinate since we know they are averages. 

x - values = (Bx + Dx)/2 = Ex
(-4 + Dx)/2 = -4 ---> multiply both sides by 2
-4 + Dx = -8 ---> add -4 to both sides
Dx = -4

y - values = (By + Dy)/2 = Ey
(1 + Dy)/2 = -3 ---> multiply both sides by 2
1 + Dy = -6 ---> subtract 1 from both side
Dy = -7

So the coordinates for D must be (-4, -7)

Keep in mind that, when the logarithm base is not explicitly written, base 10 is assumed, therefore,

\bf \textit{Logarithm Cancellation Rules}\\\\&#10;log_a a^x\implies x\qquad \qquad a^{log_ax}=x\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;10^{log(3)}+log(100)\implies 10^{log_{10}(3)}+log_{10}(100)\implies 3+log_{10}(10^2)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;3+2\implies 5

What is the measure of angle 1?
frutty [35]
Sum of all the interior angles = (5-2)x180 = 540°
540 - 100 - 120 - 100 - 90 = 130°
So the last unknown angle in the polygon is 130°

Sum of all the adjacent  angles on a straight line is 180°
Angle 1 = 180 - 130 = 50°
