The distance from around the Earth along a given latitude can be found using the formula C=2∏r cos L , where r is the radius of

the Earth and L is the latitude. The radius of Earth is approximately 3960 miles. Describe the distances along the latitudes as you go from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.

Answer:

The distance reduces to 0 as you go from 0° to 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires you to find the distance using different values of L and check the trend of the values.

Given C=2×pi×r×cos L where L is the latitude  in ° and r is the radius in miles then;

Taking r=3960 and L=0° ,

C=2×\pi×3960×cos 0°

C=2×\pi×3960×1

C=7380\pi

Taking L=45° and r=3960 then;

C= 2×\pi×3960×cos 45°

C=5600.28\pi

Taking L=60° and r=3960 then;

C=2×\pi×3960×cos 60°

C=3960\pi

Taking L=90° and r=3960 then;

C=2×\pi×3960×cos 90°

C=2×\pi×3960×0

C=0

Conclusion

The values of the distance from around the Earth along a given latitude decreases with increase in the value of L when r is constant

Answer:

11.4

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that Triangle ACB is similar to Triangle EFD.

This means that their sides are proportional to each other.

We want to find x or side AB. To do so, we can set up a proportion.

The proportional side to AB is ED. Let's also use BC since we know its value. The proportional side to BC is DF. Thus:

\frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{BC}{DF}

Substitute x for AB, 3.8 for Ed, 15 for BC, and 5 for DF. Thus:

\frac{x}{3.8}=\frac{15}{5}

Reduce the right:

\frac{x}{3.8}=\frac{3}{1}

Cross multiply:

x=11.4

So, the value of x is 11.4

And we're done!

Mikey's family is taking a road trip. Their car can travel no more than 260 miles without needing to refill the gas tank. They h
Assoli18 [71]

The solution to the inequality is that Mikey's family can drive at most 148

Inequality shows the non equal comparison of numbers or expressions.

Given that Mikey situation can be represented by the inequality:

112 + x ≤ 260

Solving the inequality:

112 + x ≤ 260

Subtract 112 from both sides of the equation:

112 + x - 112 ≤ 260 - 112

x ≤ 148

Hence from the inequality, we can see that Mikey's family can drive

at most 148
