If on a distant​ planet, a 10° central angle intercepts an arc of (136π) miles, then the radius of the planet at its​ equator is 2448 Miles.

As per the question-statement, on a distant​ planet, a 10° central angle intercepts an arc of (136π) miles. [Refer to the photo attached]

We are required to find the radius of the planet at its​ equator based on the above data.

To solve this question, we need to know the relation between arc length, radius and angle, and we will form a linear equation in one variable, based on the conditions mentioned in the question statement, and solving the equation, we will obtain our desired answer

[Arc length = (Radius * Angle)],

We are already provided with data about the arc length (136π miles) and central angle (10°), and let us assume radius of the planet be "r".

We will convert the central angle from degrees to radians, i.e.,

10° = \frac{180}{18}=\frac{\pi }{18} rads.

Now, using the data provided in the question statement about arc length and central angle, and our assumed radius in the relation between arc length, radius and angle, we get

136\pi =(r*\frac{\pi }{18} )\\or, r = \frac{136\pi }{\frac{\pi }{18} } \\or, r = 136\pi * \frac{18}{\pi} \\or, r = (136*18) = 2448 miles.

Therefore, radius of the planet at its​ equator is 2448 Miles.

  • Linear Equation: In Mathematics, a linear equation is an algebraic equation which when graphed, always results in a straight Line and thus, comes the name "Linear". Here, each term has an exponent of 1 and is often denoted as (y = mx + c)  where, 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept. Occasionally, it is also called as a "linear equation of two variables," where y and x are the variables.
  • Arc: An arc is a part of the circumference of a circle or of any over curve.

Given the following geometric sequence, find the common ratio: {16, 64, 256, ...}.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

The common ratio is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to divide a term by the previous term to find the common ratio in a geometric sequence:

64 ÷ 16 = 4

256 ÷ 64 = 4

By doing it twice we can confirm that the common ratio is 4

An acute triangle has side lengths 21 cm, x cm, and 2x cm. if 21 is one of the shorter sides of the triangle, what is the greate
madam [21]

Given that the sides of the acute triangle are as follows:
21 cm
x cm
2x cm

Stated that 21 cm is one of the shorter sides of the triangle2x is greater than x, so it follows that 2x MUST be the longest side


For acute triangles, the longest side must be less than the sum of the 2 shorter sides
Therefore, 2x < x + 21cm
2x – x < 21cm
x < 21cm

If x < 21cm, then 2x < 42cm
Therefore, the longest possible length for the longest side is 42cm
