Artemis seeks knowledge of the width of Orion's Belt, which is a pattern of stars in the Orion constellation. She has previously

discovered the distances from her house to Alnitak (736(736left parenthesis, 736 light years, \text{l.Y.})l.Y.)start text, l, point, y, point, end text, right parenthesis and to Mintaka (915\text{ l.Y.})(915 l.Y.)left parenthesis, 915, start text, space, l, point, y, point, end text, right parenthesis, which are the endpoints of Orion's Belt. She also knows the angle between these stars in the sky is 3^\circ3 ∘ 3, degrees. What is the width of Orion's Belt? That is, what is the distance between Alnitak and Mintaka? Do not round during your calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest light year.

Answer:

Orion's belt width is 184 light years

Step-by-step explanation:

So we want to find the distance between Alnitak and Mintaka, which is the Orions belts

Let the distance between the Alnitak and Mintaka be x,

Then applying cosine

c²=a²+b²—2•a•b•Cosθ

The triangle is formed by the 736 light-years and 915 light years

Artemis from Alnitak is

a = 736lightyear

Artemis from Mintaka is

b = 915 light year

The angle between Alnitak and Mintaka is θ=3°

Then,

Applying the cosine rule

c²=a²+b²—2•a•b•Cosθ

c² =736² + 915² - 2×, 736×915×Cos3

c² = 541,696 + 837,225 - 1,345,034.1477702404

c² = 33,886.85222975954

c = √33,886.85222975954

c = 184.0838184897 light years

c = 184.08 light years

So, to the nearest light year, Orion's belt width is 184 light years

Calculate the product of 8/15, 6/5, and 1/3. 
Mariulka [41]
\frac{8}{15} * \frac{6}{5} * \frac{1}{3}

First, I would multiply the last two fractions because they're smaller and easier to work with:

\frac{8}{15} * \frac{6}{5} * \frac{1}{3} = \frac{8}{15} * \frac{6}{15}

Now that we've simplified it, we could multiply these terms and simplify.  An easier method, however, would be to cancel out any common factors among the numerators and denominators before multiplying:

\frac{8}{15} * \frac{6}{15} = \frac{8}{5} * \frac{2}{15}

We can now multiply these terms:

\frac{8}{5} * \frac{2}{15} =  \frac{16}{75}

The <span>product of 8/15, 6/5, and 1/3 is B, 16/75.</span>

Triangle abc is similar to triangle qrs. what is the length of rq
aivan3 [116]
If the two triangles are similar, then the corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

That means that the length of RQ is the same as the corresponding side from triangle ABC.

Hope this helps :)
