Question

16. Geography If a ship sailed due south from Iceland to Antarctica, it would sail

Answer 1

Answer:

9674.28 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we are given:

Central angle = 140°

Radius = 3960 miles

We are to solve for the distance = Arc length

The formula for Arc length when your central angle is in radians

r × θ

θ = 140°

Converting 140° to radians

140° × π/180 = 2.443rad

Hence,

3960 × 2.443 rad

= 9674.28 miles

The ship would travel 9674.28 miles.
