Earth has been charted with vertical and horizontal lines so that points can be named with coordinates. The horizontal lines are

called latitude lines. The equator is latitude line 0. Parallel lines are numbered up to pi/2 to the north and to the south. If we assume Earth is spherical, the length of any parallel of latitude is equal to the circumference of a great circle of Earth times the cosine of the latitude angle. a. The radius of earth is about 6400 kilometers. Find the circumference of a great circle.
a. The radius of earth is about 6400 kilometers. Find the circumference of a great circle.
b. Write an equation for the circumference of any latitude circle with angle x
c. Which latitude circle has a circumference of about 3593 kilometers?
d. What is the circumference of the equator?

Refer to the figure shown below.

r = 6400 km, the radius of the earth

Part a.
The circumference of the great circle is
2πr = 2π*(6400 km)
      = 40212.4 km
Answer: 40212.4 km

Part b.
At a latitude with angle x = θ, the circumference2 of the latitude circle is
2π(r cos x) = 2π*(6400 cos(x)
                   = 40212.4 cos(x)
Note that the angle x is in radians.
Answer: The circumference is 40212.4 cos(x) km

Part c.
If a latitude circle has a circumference of about 3593 kilometers, then
40212.4 cos(x) = 3593
cos(x) = 3593/40212.4 = 0.0894
x = arcos(0.0894) = 84.9°
Answer: The latitude circle is at an angle of about 85°.

Part d.
The equator has latitude angle of 0°.
The circumference of the equator is
40212.4*cos(0°) = 40212.4 km
Answer: 40212.4 km

The diameter of a circle is 18m. Eugene claims that the circumstances of the circle is 113.04m. What is the circumference of the
pogonyaev

Answer:

The circumference is 56.52 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Eugene likely made the mistake of doubling the diameter thinking that it was the radius which gave the answer double the actual one. The equation for finding a circumference is C=\piD where d is equal to the diameter and c is the circumference. All you do is multiply 18 and 3.14 to get your answer.

Myra uses an inverse variation function to model the data for the ordered pairs below. (2, 30), (3, 20), (4, 15), (5, 12), (6, 1
tino4ka555 [31]
"Note how for each (x,y) pair of points given we see that x*y = 60 
For instance, the point (4,15) has x = 4 and y = 15 so x*y = 4*15 = 60 
Another example: (x,y) = (6,10) means x = 6 and y = 10, so x*y = 6*10 = 60 
The fact that this is true for ALL of the points shown indicates we have an inverse variation of the form x*y = k where k = 60 in this case. 
Therefore, the answer is B.) An inverse function is the best model because the products of corresponding x- and y-values are equal."

What’s the difference between an inscribed and circumscribed circle
kykrilka [37]
Inscribed is a polygon inside a circle with all points on a given point in the circle. Circumscribed is a circle inside a polygon with any given point touching just one point on the polygon. Hope this helped.
