In kilometers, the approximate distance to the earth's horizon from a point h meters above the surface can be determined by evaluating the expression 

d= \sqrt{12h}

We are given the height h of a person from surface of sea level to be 350 m and we are to find the the distance to horizon d. Using the value in above expression we get:

d= \sqrt{12*350}=64.81

Therefore, the approximate distance to the horizon for the person will be 64.81 km

Identify the area of segment MNO to the nearest hundredth. HELP PLEASE!! I don't understand it!
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

  13.98 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't understand it, either.

Point N is part of a "segment" that above and to the right of chord MO. It is the sum of the areas of 3/4 of the circle and a right triangle with 7-inch sides. The larger segment MO to the upper right of chord MO has an area of about 139.95 in², which <u>is not</u> an answer choice.

__

The remaining segment, to the lower left of chord MO does not seem to have anything to do with point N. However, its area is 13.98 in², which <u>is</u> an answer choice. Therefore, we think the question is about this segment, and we wonder why it is called MNO.

The area of a segment is given by the formula ...

  A = (1/2)(θ -sin(θ))r² . . . . . . where θ is the central angle in radians.

Here, we have θ = π/2, r = 7 in, so we can compute the area of the smaller segment MO as ...

  A = (1/2)(π/2 -sin(π/2))(7 in)² = 24.5(π/2 -1) in² ≈ 13.9845 in²

Rounded to hundredths, this is ...

  ≈ 13.98 in²

Solve by square rooting : 3(X+2)^2:8​
dolphi86 [110]

The value of x is √8/3 - 2

Step by step explanation:

The given equation is

3(x+2)^2=8

To find x,

(x+2)²= 8/3

By taking square root on both sides

x+2= √8/3

x=√8/3 -2

x= -0.37

Thus the square root for the given value is -0.37

Which pair of rectangles is similar? a b c d
cricket20 [7]
B) the one that has the sides 4 & 8 and 3 & 6.  

The length on both of these rectangles are twice as long as the width

one rectangle goes from a width of 4 and its length is doubled to a length of 8
it is similar to the 3 & 6 because the width of 3 is doubled to get the length of 6

hope this helps
