A motorcycle can travel 60 miles per gallon. Approximately how many gallons of fuel will the motorcycle need to travel 40 km?

1 answer:

6 0

The first thing to note is since one gallon= 60 miles then 1/2 gallon= 30 miles, now I know 1/2 is not an answer but it is easiest to decrease in moderate amounts. 1/2 gallon= 48 Km so we are close, and 1/2=0.5 so if we brought it down to 0.42 we would have 25.2 miles and 25.2 miles = 40.32. The question wants to know the approximate number and 40.32 is the closest we are going to get so the answer is 0.42

Reil [10]

Hello,

The formula for finding the area of a circular region is: $A= \frac{ \alpha *r^{2} }{2}$

then:
$A_{1} = \frac{80*r^{2} }{2}$

With the two radius it is formed an isosceles triangle, so, we must obtain its area, but first we obtain the height and the base.

$cos(40)= \frac{h}{r} \\ \\ h= r*cos(40)\\ \\ \\ sen(40)= \frac{b}{r} \\ \\ b=r*sen(40)$

Now we can find its area:
$A_{2}=2* \frac{b*h}{2} \\ \\ A_{2}= [r*sen(40)][r*cos(40)]\\ \\A_{2}= r^{2}*sen(40)*cos(40)$

The subtraction of the two areas is 100cm^2, then:

$A_{1}-A_{2}=100cm^{2} \\ (40*r^{2})-(r^{2}*sen(40)*cos(40) )=100cm^{2} \\ 39.51r^{2}=100cm^{2} \\ r^{2}=2.53cm^{2} \\ r=1.59cm$

Answer: r= 1.59cm
