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

How to solve 2x2+50=100
Ugo [173]

Answer:

It would be 54.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be 2 times 2, which is four, and then you would add by 50.

2 x 2 = 4

4 + 50 = 54

So, it will not be 100, it will be 54.

A taxi charges a pick-up fee p!us a charge per mile. Maria paid $15.00 for a 7 mile rode. To my paid $19.50 for a 10 mile ride.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The y-intercept in coordinate form is (0, 4.5) and represents the taxi pick-up fee.  The equation is y=1.5x + 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking for the slope and y-intercept of a linear equation.  A linear equation makes a straight line based on a constant rate of change.  For this problem, the cost per mile is the slope, while the independent variable 'x' is the number of miles and the dependent variable 'y' is the total cost.  In order to first find slope, you need to use the two points given (7, 15) and (10, 19.5) to set up a change in y / change in x, or (19.5-15)/(10-7) or 4.5/3 which is 1.5.  So the slope, or cost per mile is $1.50.  To find the y-intercept (b), or the cost of the pick-up fee, simply fill in your equation y=1.5x + b with your other variables and solve for 'b'.  So, 15 = (1.5 x7) + b.  or 15 = 10.5 +b, subtract 10.5 from both sides of the equation to get b=4.5.
