What is the distance to the earth’s horizon from point P? Express your answer as a decimal

Answer:

The distance to the earth's horizon from point P is 216.2198187 mi, appriximately 216.22 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle:

Hypotenuse: c=3959 mi + 5.9 mi → c=3964.9 mi

Leg 1: a=x=?

Leg 2: b=3959 mi

Using the Pytagorean theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

Replacing the known values:

(x)^2+(3959 mi)^2=(3964.9 mi)^2

Solving for x: Squaring:

x^2+15,673,681 mi^2=15,720,432.01 mi^2

Subtracting 15,673,681 mi^2 both sides of the equation:

x^2+15,673,681 mi^2-15,673,681 mi^2=15,720,432.01 mi^2-15,673,681 mi^2

x^2=46,751.01 mi^2

Square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(x^2)=sqrt(46,751.01 mi^2)

x=216.2198187 mi

x=216.22 mi

Does this look correct?
Neko [114]
That is not correct.  I will help you.  Begin by subtracting the 9x from both sides, like this:  9x - 9x + 2y = 6 - 9x.  That simplifies to 2y = -9x + 6.  Now divide both sides by 2 to get y all alone, like this:  \frac{2y}{2}=- \frac{9}{2}x+ \frac{6}{2}.  That reduces down to y=- \frac{9}{2}x+3.  That is slope-intercept form.  y = mx + b.

What is the approximate length of RP? Round to the nearest tenth.
Nimfa-mama [501]
From the circle geometry theorem, a tangent to a circle makes 90° angles with the radius of the circle.
 
RQ is perpendicular to QP
Triangle RQP is a right-angled triangle

by Pythagoras theorem

RP= \sqrt{5.3^{2}+ 3^{2}  }=6.1 units (rounded to one decimal place)

Please help and show work<br>​
Mkey [24]

x=0=>0^{5} +32 = ( 0 +2 ) ^ 5

P/s:    0^5+32=32 , (0+2)^5=2^5 =32

x=-2=> (-2)^5 + 32 = ( -2 +2 )^5

P/s:    (-2)^5 +32 = -32+32=0, (-2+2)^5=0^5=0

ok done. Thank to me :>
