Perhaps we can treat this as a "distance to horizon" problem, the observer is 7 mi above the earth

One formula is: d+=+sqrt%28%283h%29%2F2%29 where d is in miles and h is in feet

Change 7 mi; 5280*7 = 36960 ft

so we have

d = sqrt%28%283960%2A3%29%2F2%29

d ~ 235.5 mi

looking in opposite directions a total of 2*235 = 471 mi can be viewed

Find the circumference of the earth

C = pi%2A8000

C = 25133 mi

The arc: 471%2F25133 * 360 = 6.7 degrees

This should be pretty close, because the earth is so large compared to the altitude. would appreciate if it you would let me know. C

PLZ HELP!!WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST ANSWER ASAP Solve the given inequality and graph the solution on a number line: -6 - 3x < -12

Crank

Answer:

Correct answer is: x > 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

-6 - 3x < - 12 => - 3x < -12 + 6 => - 3x < - 6 => 3x > 6 => x > 6/3 => x > 2

Unfortunately, I can not draw a graph, shading on a number line to the right of the number two towards infinity.

God with you!!!
