Thirty years ago, police would check a highway for speeders by sending a helicopter up in the air and observing the time it woul

d take for a car to travel between two wide lines placed 1/10th of a mile apart. On one occasion, a car was observed to take 7.2 seconds to travel this distance.
What is the speed of this car in miles per hour?​

<h3>Answer: 50 mph</h3>

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

Work Shown:

1/10 = 0.1

0.1 mile = 7.2 seconds

1 mile = 72 seconds (multiply both sides by 10)

1/72 mile = 1 second (divide both sides by 72)

3600/72 = 3600 seconds (multiply both sides by 3600)

50 miles = 3600 seconds

50 miles = 1 hour

The car's speed is 50 mph

Note: 1 hour = 60 min = 60*60 = 3600 seconds

I am not quite sure how to do these.

Sin (Π/2 - theta) = sin(Π/2) * cos(theta) - cos(Π/2) * sin (theta)
and as we know sin(Π/2) =1 , cos(Π/2)=0
so sin(Π/2 - theta) = 1* cos(theta) - 0* sin(theta)= cos(theta)
2nd cos(180+ theta) = cos(180)*cos(theta) - sin(180)* sin(theta)
,,, so , cos(180+theta) = -cos(theta)

PLEASE HELP ME

I just answered a similar question here:
brainly.com/question/9180396

However, here it is again:
In general, a positive constant moves the function upwards and a negative one moves it downwards.
To shift a function left, you add units to the independent variable. To shift it right, you subtract a constant from "x".

So, the answer in your problem is:
<span>The graph is shifted left 6 units.</span>

There are 1200 students at Sophie’s school. One student’s name will be drawn at random to win a new bike. Hannah and Ethan are S
fomenos
Hi Mackenzie. 

Given that we have a probability question with the term "or", we are going to be adding individual probabilities.
We have Ethan, Hannah, and Sophie all included with the drawing.
This means we need to add each of their individual probabilities, 1/1200, together.

1/1200 + 1/1200 + 1/1200 = 3/1200;
To simplify: 1/400

Your answer is:
The probability of Ethan, Hannah, or Sophie being drawn is 1/400.

I hope this helps!

Find the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 1. Use 3.14 for π. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Butoxors [25]
The formula for finding the surface area of a sphere is A=4πr^{2}. Since we already have the radius, we just plug that into the equation, like so:
A = 4 x 3.14 x 1^{2}
First, following the rules of PEMDAS, do the exponent, coming out with an answer of 1. Now, multiply 4 x 3.14, which is 12.56. 12.56 x 1 = 12.56.
Rounded to the nearest tenth, your answer is 12.6.
Hope this helps!
