Answer:

√2:1

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to know that the length of the side of the square is equal to the diameter of the inscribed circle i.e

L = di

Given the area of the square to be 9in², we can get the length of the square.

Area of a square = L²

L is the length of the square.

9 = L²

L = √9

L = 3in

Hence the length of one side of the square is 3in

This means that the diameter of the inscribed circle di is also 3in.

Circumference of a circle = π×diameter of the circle(di)

Circumference of inscribed circle = π×3

= 3π in

For the circumscribed circumscribed circle, diameter of the outer circle will be equivalent to the diagonal of the square.

To get the diagonal d0, we will apply the Pythagoras theorem.

d0² = L²+L²

d0² = 3²+3²

d0² = 9+9

d0² = 18

d0 = √18

d0 = √9×√2

d0 = 3√2 in

Hence the diameter of the circumscribed circle (d0) is 3√2 in

Circumference of the circumscribed circle = πd0

= π(3√2)

= 3√2 π in

Hence, ratio of the circumference of the circumscribed circle to the one of the inscribed will be 3√2 π/3π = √2:1

he Statue of Liberty is approximately 305 feet tall. If the angle of elevation of a ship to the top of the statue is 22.9 degree
Andru [333]

Answer:

is at a distance of 722 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the angle that forms between the water and the imaginary line between the ship and the tip of the statue

we have the statue height that would be the opposite leg to our angle and we want to know the distance of the ship to the statue that would be the adjacent leg

we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legas and the hypotenuse

a: adjacent

o: opposite

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α= a/h

tan α = o/a

it's the tangent

tan α = o/a

we replace the values ​​and solve

tan α = o/a

tan 22.9 = 305/a

a = 305/tan22.9

a = 305/0.4224

a = 722

is at a distance of 722 feet

From a group of 8 volunteers, including Andrew and Karen, 4 people are to be selected at random to organize a charity event. Wha
Helga [31]

Answer:

The correct option is D. 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 8 volunteers including Andrew and Karen, 4 people are to be selected at random to organize a charity event.

We need to determine the probability Andrew will be among the 4 volunteers selected and Karen will not.

We want to select Andrew and 3 others but not Karen in the group.

Thus, the number of ways to select 3 member out of 8-2=6

(We subtract 2 from 8 because Andrew is already selected and we don't want Karen to be selected, so subtract 2 from 8.)

The required probability is:

\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\dfrac{\frac{6!}{3!3!}}{\frac{8!}{4!4!}}\\\\\\\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\frac{20}{70}\\\\\\\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\dfrac{2}{7}

Hence, the correct option is D. 2/7
