In the figure below, the radius, AB=AD=3959 mi, the climber is at position C. BC=3.1 mi. CD=x mi, is the distance from the climber to the horizon. Thus to solve for x we proceed as follows:
AC=3959+3.1=3962.1 mi
To evaluate for x we use the Pythagorean theorem, this is given by:
c^2=a^2+b^2
c=AC is the hypotenuse
a and b are the legs
plugging in the values we shall have:
3962.1^2=x^2+3959^2
x^2=3961.1^2-3959^2
x^2=24555.41
hence
x=156.7 mi

Answer: 156.7 mi

Which of the following equations has no solution?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations with the same x- term on both sides will have no solution

A

4x - 13 = 5(x + 4) = 5x + 20

4x ≠ 5x

This equation has a solution

B

5(3 + 2x) = 10x + 4

15 + 10x = 10x + 4

10x on both sides ⇒ no solution

C

2(3 - 5x) = 8(x + 1)

6 - 10x = 8x + 8

- 10x ≠ 8x

This equation has a solution

D

9x - 6 = 3(3x - 2) = 9x - 6

9x on both sides ⇒ no solution
