<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>

cluponka [151]

Answer: The wingspan is 36 m.

Using a proportion to solve this, we write the scale factor as a ratio first:  19/38, since 19 is the size of the model's length and 38 is the real length.  For the second ratio, we have 18 for the size of the model wingspan and x for the real wingspan:

19/38 = 18/x

Cross multiply:

19*x = 38*18

19x = 684

Answer:

My brain just exploded. I tried imagining what the shape would look like, and that didn't work. Also, I tried drawing the shape and that didn't work. I have no idea what the shape looks like. If you still need help with this question, maybe you can repost it with an image attached so we can know what the shape looks like.

Answer: x=-2 and y=-2

Step-by-step-explaination:

To solve the system of equations you have to cancel out a variable. I chose to cancel out Y. First, the coefficients of y need to be the same in both equations. To do this multiply to the top equation by 2 so you get

2(2x) +2(y) = 2(-6)

4x + 2y = -12

Next, subtract the second equation from the first to cancel out the y’s

4x + 2y =-12

-(-8x + 2y = -12)

————————

12x = -24

Solve

X = -24/12

X=-2

Plug x into the original equation to find y

2(-2) + y = -6

-4 + y = -6

Y = -6 +4

Y=-2

You can substitute x and y into the original equations to double check
