Answer:

A)

58/3 = 19.33 hours

B)

84.00 hours

C)

2074.29 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the assumption the earth is a perfect circle, then in a complete rotation ( 24 hours) the earth will rotate through  360 degrees or 2π radians.

A)

In one day or 24 hours the earth rotates through 360 degrees. We are required to determine the duration it takes to rotate through 290 degrees. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 290 degrees, then the following proportions hold;

(24/360) = (x/290)

solving for x;

x = (24/360) * 290 = 58/3 = 19.33 hours

B)

In 24 hours the earth rotates through an angle of 2π radians. We are required to determine the duration it will takes the Earth to rotate through 7π radians. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 7π radians, then the following proportions hold;

(24/2π radians) = (x/7π radians)

Solving for x;

x = (24/2π radians)*7π radians = 84 hours

C)

If the diameter of the earth is 7920 miles, then in a day or 24 hours a point on the equator will rotate through a distance equal to the circumference of the Earth. Using the formula for the circumference of a circle;

circumference = 2*π*R = π*D

                         = 7920*3.142

                         = 24891.43 miles

Therefore a point on the equator covers a distance of 24891.43 miles in 24 hours. This will imply that the speed of the earth is approximately;

(24891.43miles)/(24 hours) = 1037.14 miles/hr

The distance covered by the point in 2 hours will thus be;

1037.14 * 2 = 2074.29 miles

List multiples to find LMC of 27 and 45
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

135

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you mean the LCM instead of LMC. LCM stands for Least Common Multiple. Anyway, some of the multiples of 27 are 27, 54, 81, 108, and 135. Some multiples for 45 are 45, 90, 135. We can see here that 27 and 45 share the mutiple of 135 which is the first number they have in common.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

B. Yes, there are at least 10 people with weak bones and 10 people with strong bones in each group.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The correct answer is:

B. Yes, there are at least 10 people with weak bones and 10 people with strong bones in each group.

beks73 [17]

Answers:

  • Vertex
  • 3
  • middle

If an angle is labeled with a single letter, that letter represents the <u>  vertex  </u> of the angle.

If more than one angle has the same vertex, you must use <u>  3   </u> points to name the angle. The <u>  </u><u>middle  </u> point named must be the vertex.

=================================================================

Explanation:

If we have a single triangle, and no other extra lines, then we can use single letters to name the three angles. Each vertex of the triangle corresponds to the vertex of that angle.

If you were to draw many triangles, in which some may or may not overlap, you'll mostly likely need to name the angle using 3 letters. This is so you are very specific about which angle you're talking about. The middle letter is always the vertex. The left and right letters are points on the arms of the angle. The order of the left and right letters doesn't matter as long as the middle letter stays the same. So something like angle ABC is the same as angle CBA.
