Answer:

2100 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Diameter to the moon = 240000 miles

∅ = 0.5 °

The subtended angle by an arc is given as:

S = r∅

Where

r = radius of the circle

Therefore,

D = 240,000 x (0.5 x π rads)/180

= 2094 miles

= 2100 miles.

Use the confidence interval to find the margin of error and the sample mean (0.118,0.220)
malfutka [58]

Answer:

μ = 0.169

ME = 0.051

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval is:

CI = μ ± ME

So the mean is the middle of the confidence interval, and the margin of error is half the difference.

μ = (0.118 + 0.220) / 2 = 0.169

ME = (0.220 − 0.118) / 2 = 0.051

Evaluate the expression<br> cos(30°)=
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

cos (30) =\sqrt{\frac{3}{2} } =0.8660

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the cos square identity in trigonometry i.e., cos2ϴ = 1 – sin2 ϴ, we can evaluate the exact value of cos(33 ). For calculating the exact value of cos(∏/6), we have to substitute the value of sin(30°) in the same formula.

cos(30°) = √1 – sin230°

The value of sin30° is 1/2 (Trigonometric Ratios)

cos(30°) = √1 – (1/2)2

cos(30°) = √1 – (1/4)

cos(30°) = √(1 * 4 – 1)/4

cos(30°) = √(4 – 1)/4

cos(30°) = √3/4

Therefore, cos(30°) = √3/2
