Hikers came across a part of a redwood stump. If the length of the chord is 8 feet, what was the diameter of the tree?

So in the problem, the length of the chord there is the circumference of the tree. So in order to get the diameter of the tree, we must use the formula in getting the circumference of a circle that is stated as follows. 

C = 2pi *Radius

so first we need the get the radius of the tree which represent by this formula:

Radius = C /2pi = 8/6.2832 = 1.2732 ft 
Diameter = 2*radius = 2 * 1.27 32 = 2.5465 feet 

In summary, the diameter of the tree is 2.565 feet.

An aeroplane X whose average speed is 50°km/hr leaves kano airport at 7.00am and travels for 2 hours on a bearing 050°. It then
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

(a)123 km/hr

(b)39 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Plane X with an average speed of 50km/hr travels for 2 hours from P (Kano Airport) to point Q in the diagram.

Distance = Speed X Time

Therefore: PQ =50km/hr X 2 hr =100 km

It moves from Point Q at 9.00 am and arrives at the airstrip A by 11.30am.

Distance, QA=50km/hr X 2.5 hr =125 km

Using alternate angles in the diagram:

\angle Q=110^\circ

(a)First, we calculate the distance traveled, PA by plane Y.

Using Cosine rule

q^2=p^2+a^2-2pa\cos Q\\q^2=100^2+125^2-2(100)(125)\cos 110^\circ\\q^2=34175.50\\q=184.87$ km

SInce aeroplane Y leaves kano airport at 10.00am and arrives at 11.30am

Time taken =1.5 hour

Therefore:

Average Speed of Y

=184.87 \div 1.5\\=123.25$ km/hr\\\approx 123$ km/hr (correct to three significant figures)

(b)Flight Direction of Y

Using Law of Sines

\dfrac{p}{\sin P} =\dfrac{q}{\sin Q}\\\dfrac{125}{\sin P} =\dfrac{184.87}{\sin 110}\\123 \times \sin P=125 \times \sin 110\\\sin P=(125 \times \sin 110) \div 184.87\\P=\arcsin [(125 \times \sin 110) \div 184.87]\\P=39^\circ $ (to the nearest degree)

The direction of flight Y to the nearest degree is 39 degrees.

Please help me answer the question in the picture!
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

x=75

Step-by-step explanation:

A( I mean angle)+B+C+D=360°

A=C

B=D

2A+2D=360°

A+D=180°

30°+x+x=180°

2x=150°

x=75

Explain how your knowledge of place value helps you divide a number in the thousands by whole numbers to ten . Give an example t
poizon [28]

Place value is the value individual digit has in its location: in order from higher to lower value, there is thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones.
When you divide by 10, you are affecting (only once) every digit from its current place value to the right.
For example 1000 divided by 10 = 100, you have relocated every digit to the right, making the zero dissolve (or better yet, divided by a hidden and in this case unusable comma).

A rectangle has a height of 5 and a width of 4x^2 – 2x – 6.
bogdanovich [222]

The area of the rectangle is 20x^{2} -10x-30 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The area of a rectangle is obtained by multiplying the length with the width of the rectangle.

Considering this a whole rectangle, the length of the rectangle is 5 units and the width is the sum of 4x^{2}, -2x, and -6.

So the length of the rectangle = 5 units and

the width of the rectangle = 4x^{2} -2x-6 units.

The area of a rectangle = (length)(width).

Step 2:

By substituting the known values, we get

The area of the rectangle = (5) (4x^{2} -2x-6) = 20x^{2} -10x-30.

So the area of the rectangle is 20x^{2} -10x-30 units.
