To solve the question, we draw a circle representing a great-circle section of the earth, with satellite at a point S above earth. Draw tangents from S to he circle, and from points A and B, to the center C.
Hence:
AC and BC are radii, and
SA⊥AC and SB⊥BC
∠ASB=154°
making the angular measure of the intercepted arc:
∠ACB=180-154=26°

Answer: 26°

You put $800 in an account that earns 4% simple interest. Find the total amount in your account after each year for 3 years. (Pl
alexandr402 [8]
To get 4% of 800 you times 800 by 4 and divide it by 100. Once you have that amount you add it to 800 to find the amount you will have in your bank the first year. To get the next year's amount you then get 4% of 832(because after the first year you have more than $800) and then add the 4% to 832, that is the answer for the second year. To find the third year's amount you get 4% of the new amount (last year's total) and add it to last year's total, that is your total for the third year. So the first year will be: (800x4÷100)+800 =32+800 =832 The second year will be: 832+(832x4÷100) =832+33.28 =865.28 The third year will be: (865.28×4÷100)+865.28 =34.61(rounded off)+865.28 =899.89

malfutka [58]

Answer:

Student 2 used the correct steps to construct parallelogram PQRS.

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of all the students, student 2 got all the steps correct.

Fix the compass at Q and draw an arc that intersects side QP.

Without changing the width of the compass, move the compass to R and draw an arc.

Draw a line segment from R that passes through T and intersects the second arc at S.
