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

1) A line with gradient 2 passes through (0, 4). Write down the equation of the line.
blondinia [14]

<em>For</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>attached</em><em> </em><em>image</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>note</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>slope</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>same</em><em> </em><em>thing</em><em> </em><em>as</em><em> </em><em>gradient</em><em>.</em>

1) y = 2x + 4

2) Substituting in x = 1 and y = 1,

1 = 4(1) + c

1 = 4 + c

c = -3

So, the equation is y = 4x - 3
