Answer:
420 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
You would have to be infinitely far away from a sphere in order to see exactly 50% of its surface all at the same moment. Using simple geometry, you can prove that an observer that is a distance d away from the surface of a sphere with radius R can only see a percent area A of the sphere's surface as given by the equation:
A = 50%/(1+R/d)
Where A is the area seen,
R is the earth's radius 4000 miles
And D is the distance above the earth 200 miles
50% = 0.5 in fraction
Substituting values we have
A = 0.5(1 + 4000/200)
A = 0.5(1 + 20) = 0.5 x 21
A = 10.5%
10.5% of 4000 miles = 420 miles.
Width: W
Length: L = W + 8
Perimeter = 2W + 2L = 2(W) + 2(W+8) = 184 (ft)
Solving for W: 2W + 2W + 16 = 184 (ft)
4W = 168 ft, and so W = 42 ft.
The length, L, is (42 + 8) ft = 50 ft. (answer)
360÷60=60 60 miles per hour 6840÷45=152 152 costumes per day 45.5÷13=3.5 rounded to nearest hundred= 4 4 meters per second $7.40<span>÷5=$1.48 rounded to nearest hundred = 1 $1 per pound</span>
hey its -100 percent. the negative to show decrease.
