<span>Since both places are on the same longitude (122° west) and different lattitudes 45° north and 37° north, the distance between the two place lies on a great circle (along a line of longitude). Difference in latitudes = 45 - 37 = 8° (subtract the lattitudes because both sides are on the same side in the latitude i.e. both are north) The distance between two points along the line of longitude is given by theta / 360 x 2 x pi x R: where theta = 8° and R is the radius of the earth = 3,960 miles. d = 8 / 360 x 2 x pi x 3960 = 552.9 miles</span>

What is the constant of proportionality for the relationship between the length of the arc intercepted by a 80 degree angle and
Over [174]
So the length of the arc is given by: l = r*theta, here theta is the intercepted angle in unit radian

So, 80 degrees = 80/360 * 2pi = 4/9 * pi 

So l = r * (4/9 * pi), the constant ratio is 4/9 * pi

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The answer is 48.9 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the surface areas of the faces other than the base;

triangle area: b x h / 2

4 x 7 = 28, 28/2 = 14

in this case, there are three faces, so 14 x 3 = 42, and we add that with the base to get 48.9

:) hope this helps!
