Answer:
The answer to your question is 12.5 %
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Total points = 168
Points scored in the regular season = 147
Percent of points scored in the playoff game = ?
Process
1.- Calculate the points scored in the playoff game
Points in playoff game = 168 - 147
= 21
2.- Calculate the percent of points scored in the playoff game using proportions
168 points -------------------- 100%
21 points --------------------- x
x = (21 x 100) / 168
x = 2100 / 168
x = 12.5 %
We are given
height = 3.7 mi
radius = 3959 mi
We are asked for the distance between the man and the horizon
The straight line from the man to the horizon is a tangent line to the surface of the earth
Using Pythagorean theorem
(3.7 + 3959)² = 3959² + d²
Solve for d
d = 171 mi
