Answer:

Option A. 45 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

A student visiting the Sears Tower Skydeck is 1353 feet or 0.25625 miles above the ground.

We have to find the distance the student can see to the horizon.

We can see in the figure attached r is the radius of the earth.

h is the height of the tower and x is the distance to the horizon.

Now we can calculate the distance x by applying Pythagoras theorem in right angle ΔTOH. (Radius of the earth OH ⊥ tangent distance to the horizon TH)

(h + r)² = r² + x²

By putting the values in the formula

h = height of the tower = 0.25625 miles

r = radius of the earth = 3958.8 miles

(3958.8 + 0.25625)²= x² + (3958.8)²

x² = (3959.05)² - (3958.80)²

x² = 15674126.40 - 15672097.40

x² = 2029

x = √2029

x = 45.04 ≈ miles.

Therefore Option A. 45 miles is the answer.

18. what Gives the missing value in 2/5 = x/30?
Korolek [52]
X is equal to 12
This is because 5 was multiplied and 6 making 30. So you have to multiply 2 and 6 making x 12. Hope that makes sense

What is the slope and Y intercept of the equation X=10
xenn [34]

Answer:

Slope is undefined and y int does not exist

Step-by-step explanation:

x=10 means it will be a vertical line where x= 10 so the slope is undefined and since it is perfectly vertical, it will never touch the y axis.

Find the inverse of f(x)=2x-1
solong [7]

{ \qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}}

Let's find the inverse of given function ~

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f(x) = 2x - 1

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 2x = f(x) + 1

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x =  \cfrac{f(x) + 1}{2}

[ now, replace f(x) and x with \sf{ {f}^{-1}(x)} ]

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f {}^{ - 1} (x) =  \cfrac{x + 1}{2}

That's the required inverse function ~
