Because of spherical geometry
let me explain
The Philippines are south<span> of Florida - why is flying </span>north<span> to Alaska a short-cut? The answer is that Florida, Alaska, and the Philippines are collinear locations in spherical geometry (they lie on a great circle). Another odd property of spherical geometry is that </span>the sum of the angles of a triangle is always greater then 180°. Small triangles, like those drawn on a football field, have very, very close to 180°. Big triangles, however, (like the triangle with veracities: New York, L.A. and Tampa) have significantly more than 180°.
Spherical geometry is a plane geometry on the surface of a sphere. In a plane geometry, the basic concepts are points and lines. In spherical geometry, points are defined in the usual way, but lines are defined such that the shortest distance between two points lies along them. Therefore, lines in spherical geometry aregreat circles. A great circle is the largest circle that can be drawn on a sphere. The longitude lines and the equator are great circles of the Earth. Latitude lines, except for the equator, are not great circles. Great circles are lines that divide a sphere into two equal hemispheres.
this is the long answer:
Spherical geometry is used by pilots and ship captains as they navigate around the globe. Working in spherical geometry has some non-intuitive results.
Answer:
1296 sq inches
Step-by-step explanation:
To start, you need to get the total area of each individual roll of wrapping paper. To do this, you need to multiply the length x width, which would be 18 x 24 = 432. Then, you have three rolls so you mutiply that by three, which is 432 x 3 = 1296. You add the unit, and that leaves you with 1296 sq inches.
X actually equals the cube root of 6
Answer:
-13x+10
Step-by-step explanation:
(4x+5)(x-2)
Multiply each term in the first parenthesis by each term in the second (foil)
Step 1: Expand it by writing out each multiplication. I added a picture showing which order to do it. (go in order of green, red, blue, yellow.) (you can remember this as first, outside, inside, last.)
When you expand it'll look like: 4x⋅x+4x⋅-2-5x-5⋅-2
Step 2: Calculate product
4x⋅x+4x⋅-2-5x-5⋅-2 (for the 4x⋅x it would be written like
)
+4x⋅-2-5x-5⋅-2
+4x⋅-2-5x-5⋅-2 (4x⋅-2 becomes -8x) (multiply 4x times -2)
-8x-5x-5⋅-2
-8x-5x-5⋅-2 (-5⋅-2 becomes +10) (multiply -5 times -2)
-8x-5x+10
Step 3: collect like terms
-8x-5x+10 (-8x-5x becomes -13x) (-8x times -5x)
-13x+10 is the most simplified so it should be your final answer
