15 - 1 = x thats the answer to the problem thats how you can have the answer
Answer:
(25)^2*(9)^2*(4squreroot2)^2*(7squreroot2)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
5^4*3^3*2^5*343
=(25)^2*(9)^2*(4squreroot2)^2*(7squreroot2)^2
From the astronaut to the horizon is a tangent line to the curvature of the earth. And from that point on the horizon to the center of the earth is at a right angle to the tangent and is equal to the radius of the earth...so we can say
cosα=r/(r+h) where r is the radius of the earth and h is the height above the surface of the earth...
α=arccos(r/(r+h))
now tanα=d/r where d is the distance from the astronaut to the point on the horizon so:
tan(arccos(r/(r+h))=d/r
d=rtan(arccos(r/(r+h))) and using r≈4000 and h=50 we get:
d=4000tan(arccos(4000/(4050)))
d≈634.42mi
d≈634 mi (to nearest mile)
