We are given
height = 3.7 mi
radius = 3959 mi
We are asked for the distance between the man and the horizon
The straight line from the man to the horizon is a tangent line to the surface of the earth
Using Pythagorean theorem
(3.7 + 3959)² = 3959² + d²
Solve for d
d = 171 mi
Answer:
m∠YWZ=36°
Step-by-step explanation:
Opposite rays are two rays that both start from a common point and go off in exactly opposite directions. Because of this the two rays (WX and WZ) form a single straight line through the common endpoint W.
If rays WX and WZ are opposite, then angle XWZ is straight angle. A straight angle always has the measure of 180°.
Point Y is in the interior of ∠XWZ, then angles XWY and EWZ are supplementary angles (together form straight angle XWZ). Supplementary angles always add up to 180°, then
m∠XWY+m∠YWZ=180°
You are given that
m∠XWY=4(m∠YWZ).
Substitute it into the previous equality:
4(m∠YWZ)+m\angle YWZ=180°
5(m∠YWZ)=180°
m∠YWZ=36°
C.
Since 8 magazines are areiving each month (n) and the total is 56, all you have to do is multiply 8 by n and you get 56, the actual answer would be 7 though.
You have to find slope which is Y=MX+B so it would be m as slope so u then solve
Angles 1 and 2 are supplementary angels because they form a line.
Angles 1 and 2 are adjacent angles because they share an interior ray and they have a common vertex.
