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

Two factors whose product is 84 are 12 and _[blank]_.
djyliett [7]

Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You know that a multiplication has the following form:

a*b=c

Where a and b are the factors and c is the product.

2. You know one of the factor, then you can find the second one as following:

12*b=84

b=84/12

b=7

Therefore the answer is 7.

What value of x makes the equation true 4x = 32?
pochemuha

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

4x=32

4\times x =32

Divide both sides by 4:

\frac{4\times x}{4}=\frac{32}{4}

x=8

an NFL team kicker misses 2 out of every 11 field goals if he missed 8 filed goals throughout the season how many did he attempt
Aleks [24]
For this equation, you want to do it in fractions/ratios to properly solve it. You would have his average misses out of every field goal and his real missed attempts over total. It would look like this

\frac{2}{11}  =   \frac{8}{x}

You want to solve for x since x is the total amount of field goals that he attempted. You can do this by doing cross multiplication:

(2)(x) = (8)(11)

From here you can get:

2x = 88

Divide each side by 2 to isolate x and you get:

x=  44

So he made a total of 44 field goals.
