The range of a lighthouse is the maximum distance at which its light is visible. In the figure, point A is the farthest point fr

om which it is possible to see the light at the top of the lighthouse L. The distance along Earth, s, is the range. Assuming that the radius of the Earth is 4000 miles, find the range of Marblehead Lighthouse to the nearest tenth of a mile. Enter only the number. (Hint: Notice the right triangle EAL with right angle A. Find the length EL, then subtract the radius of the Earth to find the height of the lighthouse.)

The volume of a cone with a height of 4 cm is 12π cubic cm. What is the radius of the base?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

r = 6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for r:

v =  \frac{1}{3} \pi {r}^{2}

12\pi =  \frac{1}{3} \pi {r}^{2}  \\ 12\pi =  \frac{\pi {r}^{2} }{3}  \\ 3 \times 12\pi = \pi {r}^{2}  \\ 36\pi = \pi {r}^{2}  \\  \frac{36\pi}{\pi}  =  \frac{\pi {r}^{2} }{\pi}  \\  \sqrt{ {r}^{2} }  =  \sqrt{36}  \\ r = 6

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

c. Inductive and Strong

Step-by-step explanation:

In inductive reasoning, provided data is analyzed in order to reach a conclusion. In this case, the argument provides data regarding Jane and Nancy's awards and their love for mathematics and then draws a conclusion regarding Nancy's performance in a particular class, this is an example of inductive reasoning.

As for the strength of the argument, it is plausible to infer that Jane and Nancy have similar mathematics skills since they both love calculus and excel academically. Therefore, if Jane does well in the calculus class, it is a strong argument to say that Nancy does as well.

The answer is :

c. Inductive and Strong
