Earth has been charted with vertical and horizontal lines so that points can be named with coordinates. The horizontal lines are

called latitude lines. The equator is latitude line 0. Parallel lines are numbered up to pi/2 to the north and to the south. If we assume Earth is spherical, the length of any parallel of latitude is equal to the circumference of a great circle of Earth times the cosine of the latitude angle. a. The radius of earth is about 6400 kilometers. Find the circumference of a great circle. b. Write an equation for the circumference of any latitude circle with angle theta c. Which latitude circle has a circumference of about 3593 kilometers? d. What is the circumference of the equator?

<span>a. The radius of earth is about 6400 kilometers. Find the circumference of a great circle.

Circumference = 2π(radius) = 2π(6400 km) = 40.212,39 km

b. Write an equation for the circumference of any latitude circle with angle theta

As stated, </span><span><span>the length of any parallel of latitude (this is the circumference of corresponding circle) is equal to the circumference of a great circle of Earth times the cosine of the latitude angle</span>:

=> Circumference = 2π*radius* cos(Θ) = 2 π*6400km*cos(Θ) = 40,212.39 cos(Θ)

Answer: circumference = 40,212.39 cos(Θ) km

c. Which latitude circle has a circumference of about 3593 kilometers?

Make </span><span><span>40,212.39 cos(Θ)</span> km = 3593 km

=> cos(Θ) = 3593 / 40,212.39 = 0.08935 => Θ = arccos(0.08935) = 84.5° = 1.48 rad

Answer: 1.48

d. What is the circumference of the Equator? </span>

For the Equator Θ = 0°

=> circumference = 40,213.49cos(0°) km = 40,212.49 km

Answer: 40,212.49 km

9u2v and which term are like terms? A.6u2, B.9uv2, C.15u2v, D.13u2v2
irina1246 [14]
It is essential that you use the symbol " ^ " to denote exponention.  See the following changes I have made.  

9u^2v and which term or terms are like terms?  15u^2v.  Why?   because both have "u^2" in them.

Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is five times the number. Which answer represents this situation??
erica [24]

Answer:

Option b is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given condition : Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is five times the number.

Here, the number is x

The quotient of a number x and twelve is expressed as ,  \frac{x}{12}

Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is expressed as,  \frac{x}{12}-7

Five times the number mean, 5x

Therefore, we have an equation in the form of <em>x</em>  from the given condition as:

\frac{x}{12}-7=5x .

In a department qstore, a $40 dress is marked, save 25%" what is the discount?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
To find the discount of an item you put the rate which is 25% over 100 and move the decimal point to the right this would leave you with 0.25.You then times $40 by 0.25 which leaves you with $10 so $10 is your discount.

To find the sales price of the dress you subtract the discounted price from the original price so it would be $40-$10 which is $30 so your sales price is $30.
