Answer:
5.25 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
15 min=1/4 of hour
12/4=3
9/4=2.25
3+2.25=5.25
Answer:
No, a triangle cannot be constructed with sides of 2 in., 3 in., and 6 in.
For three line segments to be able to form any triangle you must be able to take any two sides, add their length and this sum be greater than the remaining side.
2
in.
+
3
in.
=
5
in.
5
in.
<
6
in.
For a triangle with sides 3 in., 4 in. and 5 in. which can form a triangle:
3 + 4 = 7 which is greater than 5
3 + 5 = 8 which is greater than 4
4 + 5 = 9 which is greater than 3
Step-by-step explanation:
From the astronaut to the horizon is a tangent line to the curvature of the earth. And from that point on the horizon to the center of the earth is at a right angle to the tangent and is equal to the radius of the earth...so we can say
cosα=r/(r+h) where r is the radius of the earth and h is the height above the surface of the earth...
α=arccos(r/(r+h))
now tanα=d/r where d is the distance from the astronaut to the point on the horizon so:
tan(arccos(r/(r+h))=d/r
d=rtan(arccos(r/(r+h))) and using r≈4000 and h=50 we get:
d=4000tan(arccos(4000/(4050)))
d≈634.42mi
d≈634 mi (to nearest mile)
Yes they do parallel from each other <span />
