<span>a.
The radius of earth is about 6400 kilometers. Find the circumference of
a great circle.
Circumference = 2π(radius) = 2π(6400 km) = 40.212,39 km
b. Write an equation for the circumference of any
latitude circle with angle theta
As stated, </span><span><span>the
length of any parallel of latitude (this is the circumference of corresponding circle) is equal to the circumference of a
great circle of Earth times the cosine of the latitude angle</span>:
=> Circumference = 2π*radius* cos(Θ) = 2 π*6400km*cos(Θ) = 40,212.39 cos(Θ)
Answer: circumference = 40,212.39 cos(Θ) km
c. Which latitude circle has a
circumference of about 3593 kilometers?
Make </span><span><span>40,212.39 cos(Θ)</span> km = 3593 km
=> cos(Θ) = 3593 / 40,212.39 = 0.08935 => Θ = arccos(0.08935) = 84.5° = 1.48 rad
Answer: 1.48
d. What is the circumference of
the Equator?
</span>
For the Equator Θ = 0°
=> circumference = 40,213.49cos(0°) km = 40,212.49 km
Answer: 40,212.49 km
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6x=1/2(2x +7) Multiply both sides by 2
2*6x = 1/2(2x + 7)*2
12x = 2x + 7 Subtract 2x from sides
12x-2x =2x-2x+7
10x = 7 Divide by 10
x = 7/10
x = 0.7
Let's check it
6(0.7) = 4.2
1/2 (2*0.7 + 7)
1/2 (1.4 + 7)
1/2 ( 8.4)
4.2
Both sides check. The answer must be x = 0.7
Answer:
1372
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 980 divided by 5 is 196 and 196 x 5 = 980
So you take 196 and multiply it by 5 and it's 1372
Hope this helps :)
