Answer:

The height above sea level at <em>B</em> is approximately 1,604.25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The given length of the mountain railway, AB = 864 m

The angle at which the railway rises to the horizontal, θ = 120°

The elevation of the train above sea level at <em>A</em>, h₁ = 856 m

The height above sea level of the train when it reaches <em>B</em>, h₂, is found as follows;

Change in height across the railway, Δh = AB × sin(θ)

∴ Δh = 864 m × sin(120°) ≈ 748.25 m

Δh = h₂ - h₁

h₂ = Δh + h₁

∴ h₂ ≈ 856 m + 748.25 m = 1,604.25 m

The height above sea level of the train when it reaches <em>B</em> ≈ 1,604.25 m

A local art studio offers a new session of drawing classes every 12 days. A competing art studio offers a new session of drawing
Artist 52 [7]
To solve this we are going to find the least common multiple of 8 and 12.
Remember that the least common multiple (LCM) of tow or more numbers is the smallest positive number that is multiple of those two or more numbers. 
To find our LCM we are going to list the multiples of 8 and 12, and then, we are going to select the first common number in those lists:

Multiples of 8: 8,16,24,32,40,....
Multiples of 12: 12,24,36,48,...

Notice that the first common value between the two list is 24, and that is precisely the number of days it will take for drawing sessions to coincide.

We can conclude that after 24 days both<span> art studios will start a new drawing session on the same day.</span>

What is the angle measure of an arc bounding sector with an area of 5pie square miles?
Snowcat [4.5K]

if the diameter is 20, the its radius must be half that or 10.

\textit{area of a sector of a circle}\\\\ A=\cfrac{\theta \pi r^2}{360}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ \theta =\stackrel{degrees}{angle}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ A=5\pi \\ r=10 \end{cases}\implies \begin{array}{llll} 5\pi =\cfrac{\theta \pi (10)^2}{360}\implies 5\pi =\cfrac{5\pi \theta }{18} \\\\\\ \cfrac{5\pi }{5\pi }=\cfrac{\theta }{18}\implies 1=\cfrac{\theta }{18}\implies 18=\theta \end{array}
