50 seconds for a giant tortoise. 1/10 = 1 second = 10/10 = 10

50/10 = 50sec = 5meters

.1 meters/1 second = 5 meters/ x seconds
cross multiply
.1x= 5
solve for x, (divide 1 on both sides)
50 seconds= x

10. Two lighthouses are located on a north-south line.

Kamila [148]

The question is an illustration of bearing (i.e. angles) and distance (i.e. lengths)

The distance between both lighthouses is 5783.96 m

I've added an attachment that represents the scenario.

From the attachment, we have:

$\mathbf{\angle A = 180^o - 120^o\ 43'}$

Convert to degrees

$\mathbf{\angle A = 180^o - (120^o +\frac{43}{60}^o)}$

$\mathbf{\angle A = 180^o - (120^o +0.717^o)}$

$\mathbf{\angle A = 180^o - (120.717^o)}$

$\mathbf{\angle A = 59.283^o}$

$\mathbf{\angle B = 39^o43'}$

Convert to degrees

$\mathbf{\angle B = 39^o + \frac{43}{60}^o}$

$\mathbf{\angle B = 39^o + 0.717^o}$

$\mathbf{\angle B = 39.717^o}$

So, the measure of angle S is:

$\mathbf{\angle S = 180 - \angle A - \angle B}$ ---- Sum of angles in a triangle

$\mathbf{\angle S = 180 - 59.283 - 39.717}$

$\mathbf{\angle S = 81}$

The required distance is distance AB

This is calculated using the following sine formula:

$\mathbf{\frac{AB}{\sin(S)} = \frac{AS}{\sin(B)} }$

Where:

$\mathbf{AS = 3742}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{\frac{AB}{\sin(81)} = \frac{3742}{\sin(39.717)}}$

Make AB the subject

$\mathbf{AB= \frac{3742}{\sin(39.717)} \times \sin(81)}$

$\mathbf{AB= 5783.96}$

Hence, the distance between both lighthouses is 5783.96 m

Helpppppppppppppppppp What does the statement ∣

Xelga [282]

Answer:

b is 7 units from 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

$|b|$ = 7 means that the absolute value of b is 7. This means that b can be -7 or 7, so it will always be 7 units from 0.

Hope this helps!

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

1372π/3 cm^3 ≈ 1436.8 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter and height of the cylinder are both 14 cm. The resulting solid will be a 14 cm sphere. Its volume is ...

V = 4/3πr^3 = 4/3π(7 cm)^3 = 1372π/3 cm^3 ≈ 1436.8 cm^3
