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

Does anyone know the answer
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:x = 12,5

using thales's theorem, we have:

\frac{15}{15+36}=\frac{20}{6x-7}\\\\ 6x-7=\frac{20.(15+36)}{15}=68\\\\x = \frac{68+7}{6}=12.5

The slope of the line in the table given is 11

<h3>Slope of a Line</h3>

In Mathematics, a slope of a line is the change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate.

The net change in y-coordinate is represented by Δy and the net change in x-coordinate is represented by Δx.

Hence, the change in y-coordinate with respect to the change in x-coordinate is given by

m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

Taking two points from the table

m = 1172 - 864 / 72 - 44

m = 11

The slope of the line is 11
