Answer: 29.28 years

Explanation:

From Kepler's third law the square of orbital period of revolving celestial body is proportional to the cube of semi -major axis from the body  it is revolving about.

P² =A³

Where, P is the orbital period in years and A is the semi-major axis in AU (Astronomical units)

It is given that, For Saturn, A = 9.5 AU. We need to find P

⇒P² = (9.5 AU)³

⇒P² = 857.38

⇒P = 29.28 years

Thus, the orbital period of Jupiter is 29.28 years around the Sun.

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan A = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{7}{8} , then

∠ A = tan^{-1} (\frac{7}{8} ) ≈ 41° ( to the nearest degree )

The sum of the angles in the triangle = 180° , then

∠ B + 41° + 90° = 180°

∠ B + 131° = 180° ( subtract 131° from both sides )

∠ B = 49°

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

AB² = BC² + AC² = 7² + 8² = 49 + 64 = 113 ( take square root of both sides )

AB = \sqrt{113} ≈ 10.6 ( to the nearest tenth )

Is one side of a rectangular fish tank best represented by a point, line, plane, or ray?
Inessa05 [86]
<span>One side of a rectangular fish tank can be best represented by a plane because it is two dimensional.Whereas,point,line or a ray are all one dimensional and hence they cannot represent a rectangle as it has two dimensions.</span>

If 3 pounds of chocolate cost $25.50 how many pounds can you buy for $42.50
MrMuchimi
To solve this, write a proportion of Pounds to Cost:
Pounds:     3         x
     Cost: 25.50   42.50

Cross multiply 3 and 42.50, this gives you 127.5
Then, divide by 25.5
This gives you 5.
You can buy 5 pounds with $42.50
