Answer: 52,416,000 km
Step-by-step explanation:
If a comet travels 273,000 km/hr
1) Multiply 273,000 km by 24 hours to find how far the comet travels in one day
2) multiply the answer from 1 by 8 to determine how far it travels in 8 days
1) *
=
(hours cancel out)
2)*8 day= 52,416,000 km in 8 days
The comet approximately travelled 52,416,000km from when it began to travel to when it reached Earth. Hope this helped :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right triangle trig problem. Picture a right triangle. The height of the triangle is the height of the lighthouse, your distance from the base of the lighthouse is what we are solving for, and the reference angle is 2 degrees, which is the angle of inclination from where you stand to the top of this lighthouse. We have the reference angle, the side opposite the reference angle, and we are looking for the side adjacent to the reference angle. This is the tangent ratio: the side opposite the reference angle over the side adjacent to the reference angle. We know the measure of the reference angle and we know the value of the side opposite the reference angle. Filling in:
and
so
x = 5727.25 feet, the third choice down
