Answer:

1/7 (option d) of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded

Step-by-step explanation:

Each unit contains the same number of non-upgraded sensors

number of non-upgraded sensors for each module (nus)

total number of upgraded sensors on the satellite (tus)

satellite is composed of 30 modular units

total number of non-upgraded sensors on the satellite (tnus):

tnus=30*nus

total number of sensors on the satellite (ts):

ts=tnus+tus = 30*nus + tus (I)

The number of non-upgraded sensors on one unit is 1/5 the total number of upgraded sensors on the entire satellite

nus=(1/5)*tus

tus = 5 * nus (II)

Fraction of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded (FU):

FU = tus/ts

Using I and II

FU= (5* nus)/(30*nus + tus)

FU = (5* nus)/(30*nus + 5 * nus)

FU = (5* nus)/(35*nus)

FU = 1/7

1/7 (option d) of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded

Good answer fast Find the value of y
Radda [10]

Answer: y = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

55.30786941 = sin-1 (148/180)   round to 55.3°  angle x

34.69213059 = cos-1 (148/180) . round to 34.7°  "angle z" at right

34.7 +55.3 = 90

Sum of All angles of the triangle = 180°  180 -90 = 90

If angle x is 55.7 and angle z is 34.7° Angle y must be 90°

Ratio of inscribed arcs = ratio of chord to diameter
