Mathematics
1 answer:
NikAS [45]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

156.7 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying

Pythagoras theorem

a² = b²+c²............... Equation 1

Where c = distance to the earth horizon from point P

From the diagram in the question,

Given: a = (3959+3.1) mi = 3962.1 mi, b = 3959 mi

Substitute these values into equation 1

3962.1² = 3959²+c²

solve for c

15698236.41 = 15673681+c²

c² = 15698236.41-15673681

c² = 24555.41

c = √ 24555.41

c = 156.7 mi

ALGEBRA<br> EQUATION<br> PLEASE HELP ASAP<br><br> -3=12y-5(2y-7)
Dovator [93]

Simplify:

−3=12y−5(2y−7)

−3=12y+(−5)(2y)+(−5)(−7)(Distribute)

−3=12y+−10y+35

−3=(12y+−10y)+(35)(Combine Like Terms)

−3=2y+35

Flip the equation.

2y+35=−3

Subtract 35 from both sides.

2y+35−35=−3−35

2y=−38

Divide both sides by 2.

2y/2=−38/2

y=−19
