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

The surface area of this rectangular prism is 34 square centimeters. What is the volume is the width is 1 cm, the length is 2 cm
Bezzdna [24]

Answer: 10\ cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The surface area of a rectangular prism is 34\ cm^2

Width of prism w=1\ cm

Length of prism l=2\ cm

height of prism h=x\ cm

Surface area is given by

S.A.=2[lw+wh+hl]

Put values

34=2[2\times 1+1\times x+2x]\\17=2+3x\\15=3x\\x=5\ cm

Now, the volume of Prism is given by

V=l\times w\times h

\Rightarrow V=2\times1\times 5=10\ cm^3

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis should be: The average woman's leg hair grows an eighth of an inch per month: u = eighth of an inch

Alternative hypothesis: The average woman's leg hair growth is not an eighth of an inch per month after treatment: u ≠ eighth of an inch

This test after carrying out its treatment will be able to determine if the drug was effective or not

Answer:

37.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion using the values given in the diagram of similar triangles.

31.5/15 = x/18

Cross-multiply.

31.5(18) = 15x

Multiply.

567 = 15x

Divide both sides by 15.

37.8 = x
