Answer:

6.914miles (to 3 decimal places)

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of an arc = θ/360 *2πr

angle subtended by arc at the center of the earth = 6 minutes

1 minute =1/60 degree

6 minute= 6/60 degree =0.1°

θ=0.1°

radius of earth = 3960 miles

distance along the arc = \frac{0.1}{360}*2\pi  *3960

    =6.9142857143miles

explain how you can use a straightedge and a protractor to show that each angle you formed by a bisector is one-half the origina
Natasha2012 [34]
You can do that by simply measuring the main angle and then measuring each of the two angles. If you bisected the angle correctly, you will find that each of the two angles is equal to half the original.

You can measure the angle by following these steps:
1- Place the straightedge on the base of the angle.
2- Slide the protractor over it until the vertex of the angle is at the zero of the protractor.
3- Measure the angle.

A boat costs $12,250 &amp; decreases in value by 11% per year how much will the boat be worth after 4 years
kirill115 [55]
So it decreases by 11% which means by the next year it's worth 89% of the original price, write 89% like a decimal. then put it to the power of 4 (4 years) and multiply by the original number
.89 ^ 4 * 12250 = 7685.92
