The scientist can use only the angle x and the distance y to calculate the distance between the Earth and the Sun using the cosine function.

cos x = BC / y

Solving for BC

BC = y cos x

BC is the distance between the Earth and the Sun :D

The radius of a semicircle is 4 miles. What is the semicircle's area?
adell [148]

Answer:

8\pi miles or 25.133 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

your radius is 4 miles.

The area of a circle is A= \pi r^{2}

Therefore, the area of this circle is 4^{2} \pi, or 16\pi

Half of this area, because what you're looking for is a semi-circle, is:

8\pi (exact) or 25.133 (rounded) miles.

Answer:

  4. 11/6, 121/36

  5. 5/8, 25/64

  6. 4/7, 16/49

  7. 14/9, 196/81

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of perimeters is the same as the ratio of corresponding legs:

  perimeter ratio = red leg/blue leg

The area ratio is the square of that:

  area ratio = (perimeter ratio)²

__

<h3>4.</h3>

perimeter ratio = 11/6

area ratio = (11/6)² = 121/36

__

<h3>5.</h3>

perimeter ratio = 5/8

area ratio = (5/8)² = 25/64

__

<h3>6.</h3>

perimeter ratio = 4/7

area ratio = (4/7)² = 16/49

__

<h3>7.</h3>

perimeter ratio = 14/9

area ratio = (14/9)² = 196/81
