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 =
=6.9142857143miles
WHERE IS THE TABLE
no
11/4 plus 11/4 is 22/4
to make this a whole number and a fraction we subtract 4 from the 22 as many times as we can. we can do this 5 times, with 2 left over.
the answer is 5 2/4, which you can simplify to 5 and a half
